There’s one thing for sure…bicycles have never been ahead of cars in poluting the air. But since the electric cars have become a common view lately, we may start wondering about those motorized bikes. Yet again …bikes will never be ahead of cars in polution the air…and if there are gonna be electric cars why not electric bikes. The only problem with the bikes was the amount of surface required for the solar panels to be placed at. But there’s always a solution for everything. In this case a very shiny one as the only place where the solar panels can mounted are the wheels. And since it is not an uncoon view for the electric bikes to have a front hub motor or for them to have batteries mounted on the rear racks, these are the first pair of wheels that I have seen with solar panels integrated into them..

There’s only one problem you may face with wheels like these…the heavy side winds. But hey it can’t be flawless. Think about the bright (in this case brighter) side of the things - with this bike you could pedal when the going was easy and engage the motor when the going gets tough - and you never need to gas it up or plug it in.
