SolarBaskets: Universal Solar Bike upgrade
- Pre-Seed
SolarBasket is a mobility, clean energy/power solution for the developing world. It is an affordable, and easy to build addon to build a solar bike. It is aimed to bypass the gas powered motorcycle and scooter phase in the economic developing stage and provide for the local community.
There is an unavoidable economic phase in any nation, that people will seek an affordable mobility platform for their own transportation. That market created almost 100 million annual car production and 120 billions dollar motorcycle market. Now even if we move 2% of those towards a clean energy solution, they don't even need to give up their cars, just a ready available alternative. That is a 2 billions market and we save million tons of CO2 from release into atmosphere. The added benefit of provide local employment, stimulate economy and emergency power backup are just gravy on the top.
Common sense. A solar powered ebike has unlimited range, required very little infrastructural support. This is the future we want, let's spread the word and make it happen.
Anyone who need transportation can be provided with clean energy alternative. How is that for impact. For a cost of extra battery, people can add an unlimited energy source to their electrical bike which by itself would be a great alternative to motorcycle. Now it is even better.

It is unique only because solar panel is just now become affordable. This is a first step toward mobility platform. I even make it open source for it to spread.
The solar bike provide an clean energy alternative for people in developing nation who are considering buying a second hand motorcycle for their transportation needs. People just need to know it is available.
Most likely thru retail bike shop and dealship. It is a bike, we can make it self deliver.
