Snow on the hills here this morning – but nothing stops the daily commute. My trusty Solar Bike kit has now been running for over 15,000 km! Couldn’t live without it! The 1st battery survived a bit over 2.5 years and was run for 30km/day 5 times a week. I was initially a little disappointed about the longevity but there is simply no cost comparison against car or even public transport (bus) – the battery pays for itself in 10 weeks of driving and about 20 of using the bus, although the convenience, flexibility, and relaxed commuting are priceless. The help I’ve received from emailing directly has been nothing short of excellent. I asked about the initial purchase, battery installation, and about switch wiring; everything was promptly and clearly explained.
