Great adventure and you guys are for sure my favorites in the race! Feels like watching TerraX documentation🤩 good job Kilian! The edit and riding is next level!
I can't express my excitement about your message in words. It's so nice to hear that our work has paid off. There is much more to come. Stay tuned
Amazing Video! Beautiful landscape, direct desire for Holiday :)

At first glance I think there is a bit of an issue with the bags, does not seem very aero to have two pairs, one pair up front and one behind, hitting the air twice. Other then that, well done.
We know 6 bags are a lot but we had our batteries inside two of them and racing bikes for 4 weeks means carrying more than on a one week bikepacking trip. Also with the racestart set on april we had winter and summer clothes with us… not ideal but we couldn`t find a solution for that. Nice to hear that you enjoyed the first episode of our solarbikeracing series :)
try solar hang glider solar flight instead. slow speed, high lift, even air currents lift.
Sounds like a funny idea😅 but I don‘t know how to fly🪽🤔
@@kilianweigand easy as hang glider kite. you dont have to fly high. just off the ground a few meters low altitude. I mean you sit in a trike bicycle with a paramotor behind you pedalled electric.
@@kilianweigand well pedal powered glider flight would be nice starter with trike helper wheels, lol
@@gsestream haha! that would be a challenge
not to take away from a great event and no doubt huge effort, but wouldn't an unassisted lowracer recumbent with a streamlining tailbox be able to beat everyone there? quick Kreuzotter calculator calculation says 100 watts on flat ground is 31 km per hour even with 30 kilos of luggage in the bike. of course you have to correct that for poor quality tarmac, wind, and a shitton of climbing mountain roads, but with the theoretical ideal conditions that's 400 km a day on flat ground under 14 hours? just seems like it'd win if only by a hair, as 313 a day is the number to beat. that is if the rider is - as much as you can call someone who's able to ride 400 hours a month - not exceptional. am i missing something? i do think these solar bikes are very cool, but i also wonder how Jean-Marc Dubouloz would have done without any electricity.
I know what you mean, but racing for 30 days is very different to riding for just one day. Especially the long term comfort of solar bikes is very nice. I also have to mention that Jonas and I are both 19 years old, work full time and are not professional athletes. It's not just the physical test, but also the development of your own bike that makes it so unique and interesting.
Yeah Jean Marc would definetly be the fastes without solar. Just best aerodynamics…
