Amazing undertaking and movie! I expressed my interest for participating in the Sun Trip 2025 in Morroco (adventurers ride), and currently I am working on my solar bike.
AMAZING! It's so nice to see other people's view point of the trip. During the Suntrip i didn't have time to follow everyone else. Thanks to everyone involved!!
What you as a first-timer and Herman as an older man, did, was really extra-ordinary. It was a pleasure to see riding close to one another for a large part.
Amazing test of endurance both man and machine. It tests both rider and bike to the extreme, pushing them to, and beyond, their limits. Finishing the race, whether you come in first or last, is a testament to both man and machine, worthy of honor and praise.
Congratulations to all of you for a very emotional trip I know I must have been exhausting and hard I watch the whole video very nice to see the different places and people may you stay healthy always and be safe watching from roseville California USA Ray Garrett
Wow! What an incredible trip, and what an awesome video! Hats off to the Techs, Riders, AND the Editors, and everyone else that worked to create such awesomeness!
I’m an automotive designer and I based my final year design on you guys. My hope is to create Vehicle that makes this journey comfortable reliable fast and of course with the FFF ethos. My true hope is to join you guys in 2023
Sun is the solution. Also time should be the new motto... Live a life in a more natural pace out of the 8h slavery... I am so inspired by all of you and this goes to my bucket list..and not so far to achieve I hope project...
I think for most very tuff , and for some the determination got them there well done 👏 and especially important that there were always people there at the finish 👏
I thought it was a very good produced documentary showing awesome group of people who were clearly at the destination at the end those individuals that ignighted a new passion in me that makes all the things I've been working on in my life something to definitely feel good about, thanks
très jolie reportage, sa me donne vraiment envie, mais j'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre, je reçois mon trike en septembre, je vais me documenté sur la façon de rechargé avec le soleil et peut-être espérer participer à l'édition 2024 je serai en retraite et aurai eu le temps de me préparer 👍
Awesome video. Continuous rain and no way to charge batteries would suck. I guess it’s a real life experience of solar on the road. It’d be nice to pull into McDonald’s, plug in and grab a coffee. Thanks for the video
Fantastic, in addition to the adventure, a beautiful part is designing your own vehicle. Then you have to calibrate the "energies" to reach your goal, what I do in a small way with my humble vehicle in just one day a week .. a recumbent and already in construction phase 😉 Congratulations again!
With the solar/electric I am assuming you all traveled a little faster than if you were only human powered??? I would love to make and use a solar recumbent...
This was fun to watch. Is there a website where the technical aspects of all the bikes are discussed, diffences, advantages, disadvantages, lessons learned? I didn't find a comprehensive tech report on the Sun Trip website, any advice where I should look. I have googled. Thanks. I want to see this tech grow and become commonplace, the norm.
what i really don't understand is how they manage not to have their gear stolen ???? Sleeping at night in a tent with a several thousand euro bike/gear in such countries, HOW NOT TO GET STOLEN ??? Une nuit en banlieue parisienne et tu te retrouves en slip chaussette, me fait pas dire qu'ils traversent ces pays sans tout se faire faucher, franchement il faut qu'on m'explique !
@@fraaggl The problem with turbines is that you can't easily extract just the component of wind which is travelling orthogonal to your direction of travel, which means you sap energy from your own forward movement. Add in conversion losses, and you tend to lose more energy than you gain.
29:55 Wait! The whole point of this race was that it was an open point-to-point race where you could choose your own route! What's this "Forbidden Route" nonsense?
Je possède un vélo solaire que j'utilise au quotidien. Mais franchement, qu'y a t'il d'écologique dans un trip où on revient en avion? Je vous invite à regarder JM Jancovici du Giec concernant les voyages en avion. Pourquoi ne pas organiser une boucle qui part de France et revient au point de départ? Ca permettrait à des gens comme moi, très concernés par les problèmes de Pollution et de réchauffement climatique de participer à cette manif qui au départ part d'une bonne intention et qui a l'arrivée est une catastrophe écologique.
Mon dieu vous êtes tellement insultant. C'est votre attitude qui est catastrophique et honteuse pour la France. Renseignez vous sur les différents projets organisés par le Sun Trip depuis 10 ans avant de nous insulter.
@@TheSunTrip Pardonnez moi de l'avoir pris comme une insulte. Malgré tout je n'ai pas trouvé de gros mot dans mon texte. Je vais enlever catastophe écologique si vous voulez et le remplacer par "bilan carbone du retour très supérieur aux économies réalisées à l'aller." Ecoutez Aurélien Barault, lui est beaucoup plus "insultant" que moi sur ce sujet. Il parle de délinquance écologique. Je suis un voyageur à vélo solaire (tour d'espagne 5000km l'été dernier) et utilisateur au quotidien (très peu de déplacements en voiture). Mais jamais je ne prends l'avion. C'est un non sens ne croyez-vous pas?

@Dimitris But you believe in Almighty Allah. To whom Jesus called Father? That is Allah. Jesus is a prophet only. Not son of Allah. You must know real and authentic teachings of prophet Jesus(pbuh). If you believe that Jesus is a prophet only sent from Allah. Then you are a Muslim. Know what you are infact Ok Thanks
Це неймовірно, хочу їхати з вами!)
Perhaps the best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam?
Actually Stobe The Hobo was.

I cannot really see the point of it
that must be an amazing Life experience, just watching this made me cry
That's why I'd love to do it myself...
Amazing experience. Congratulations to all of you!!!
Watched the whole thing. Smiled so hard at the finish line each time the riders were shown finishing...😁
😯😲👍👍👍 sacrée expédition faut du courage !! sacrée aventure pour ceux qui aurons réussie !!
This is gold

Really amazing. Sun powered electric vehicles will be our future.

(But Google Chrome Cast still need to sneak their ADS in......). :(
UA-cam Premium, you'll never look back
great activity,dream trip!!!
Merci Beaucoup Mc Solar.

Final outtakes/credits music: "It Feels so Good" by Ben Cocks (not listed)
Great video - makes you want to give it a go.

Magnifique reportage. Ça donne envie.
Awesome..thanks for sharing
Superbe aventure.. de l'émotion
Congratulations,nice and very unique impressions, would be great if similar challenge takes place here in Mexico to Argentina, or other nice Country.
Thx for the posting pretty amazing to watch!
I was living in Guangzhou at this time and had no idea about this race only until now in 2021
14:25 that is some amazing looking soil, you could grow enough food to feed the world in that stuff
Beautiful film! Hopefully I can join one day too. How does everyone finance such a big and long trip?
Wow, all those solar panels trying to get home!
Imagine this: taking the same route by horseback in the Mongol Empire days would take you over twice as long(as the fastest one), over a 100 days.
OMG WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ..WELL DONE EVERYONE
I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Great!!!
26:04 have to use washers. Really big ones up front.
Is there a technical review of the bikes compared anywhere? I'd be interested to see what makes a winning/workable solar bike setup.
With the solar/electric I am assuming you all traveled a little faster than if you were only human powered??? I would love to make and use a solar recumbent...
just wow!!
This was fun to watch. Is there a website where the technical aspects of all the bikes are discussed, diffences, advantages, disadvantages, lessons learned? I didn't find a comprehensive tech report on the Sun Trip website, any advice where I should look. I have googled. Thanks. I want to see this tech grow and become commonplace, the norm.
Keşke bu turda sizinle birlikte olsam , imkan yokki. 😑
what size battery for 2 100 watt panels??
I whantet to build a bike like this 4 years ago. I have now a trike but not the right engine and no solar pannels.
Average nominal wattage of the panels per bike? 400?
Does anyone know more about the red teardrop shaped trailer at 1:29?
А да вспомнил, в Казахстане про них Борат снял репортаж.
太屌了
Did anybody do no or the minimum pedaling?
Take me.
what i really don't understand is how they manage not to have their gear stolen ????
Sleeping at night in a tent with a several thousand euro bike/gear in such countries, HOW NOT TO GET STOLEN ???
Une nuit en banlieue parisienne et tu te retrouves en slip chaussette, me fait pas dire qu'ils traversent ces pays sans tout se faire faucher, franchement il faut qu'on m'explique !
How did he able to ride 275km daily average? What a fucking monster
the biggest question is - recumbent, or traditional???
Recumbent !😉👍
Bent.
24:39 How does that happen?
Is it legal to use, lets say something like a sail?
A sail would be hard to use. Gusts could very easily blow you over, and when there's no wind they weigh a lot.
a sail would necessitate a much stronger structure, therefore much heavier...
But a light weight wind turbine would be a nice addition !
@@fraaggl The problem with turbines is that you can't easily extract just the component of wind which is travelling orthogonal to your direction of travel, which means you sap energy from your own forward movement. Add in conversion losses, and you tend to lose more energy than you gain.
54:48 this is killing me:)))))
man kann auch nur mit der Sonne Reisen und einem solar - Fahrradwohnwagen siehe hier ua-cam.com/users/VolkerHeimes
Herr Heimes, leider reisen Sie nicht. Dass Ihr Wagen nur mit der Sonne fährt stimmt doch garnicht.
3:23 Only 2 females in the 23 riders?
29:55 Wait! The whole point of this race was that it was an open point-to-point race where you could choose your own route! What's this "Forbidden Route" nonsense?
Maybe there was a choice of only two routes?
they must smell unbearable by the end

What were the diets of the riders? I bet there was much distance powered by meat eg deforested grass and 'humanely' farmed earthlings.
