    THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA😲,I wish the idea for these type of bikes were around when I was younger! They seem a great way to get around when U don't need a car,.just for older people to get around ,for short trips.😲🤓😍😍😍😍

    Hi Tony
    What a nice Pickup truck You have made there 😊
    And the Pedal-generator thing is like many new factory-made small delivery vehicles is made these days. And no problems with chaindrive to the backwheels
    I wonder if You could ditch the trailer, save a big part of the trailer-weight and make the Pickup more nimble in traffic, by moving the solarpanels up at a big hinged lid at the truck-bed ?.
    The lid must be able to keep open maybe 35-40 degrees while you load and unload and must be lockable secure flat while driving and not catch sidewind.
    Lighter weight also needs less motors and less batteries.
    But if You your 540 RPM hubmotor can’t manage the hills alone like most hubmotors, then look for gearing for your motor.
    Maybe just LO-gear / HI-gear is enough. It's only Tesla's which can manage without gears because of insanely high motor-RPM at high speed ;-)
    Kind regards form Denmark, Happy driving

      True, but I had one with panels on top. The wind was a problem. Also weight on the 1 hp drive. The panel trailer powers it self. I don't even know it's behind me. Also carries more batteries, less weight on the pickup wheels.btw..my ancestors are from Denmark.

    I would say lose the pedals you could put an extra battery or two up there and just get more solar power you can have it fixed up to where you’ve got panels everywhere they’ll fit on the top and sides of that truck and you could also have seven or 800 W of foldable, flexible, solar panels folded up in the bed when you stop you could just have all your solar charging it

  • @macrumpton

    Seems like you could just add a roof and put the solar panels on that. You could also use both alternators as a brake.

    • @AnthonySorensen-i5o
      @AnthonySorensen-i5o Місяць тому +4

      That is very true, in the past, I have had rooftop panels. One problem was the wind, driving with the panels tilted to the sun, would catch the wind just right and cause steering problems. rooftop panels are in the works, but I will keep the trailer for the extra load-bearing capacity, and some
      extra power. The current law limits the truck to 1 hp. but says nothing about a powered trailer. It pulls itself and provides a bit of push on some hills.

      @@MerwinARTist 🔴 What Is Islam?
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

      trailer keeps the panel profile lower, carries some of the battery weight also. trailer has wheel motors ,so provide extra power. Jalopy is restricted to 1hp. all that weight would stop it on hills. absolutely essential.
