- Mark Havran's epic round the world solar ebike journey is in full swing. He's been solar cruising up the west coast of North America and once again stopped over for few days with us here at Grin. He was staying at Justin's place helping with some home renovations and they decided to head out on the electric sailboat to join the eSk8 group EV ride, and on the way catchup on his trip experience so far.
You can see the part 2 video when he visited Grin last year as part of an 8000 km shake-down test ride which goes into a lot of the technical detail and refinement of the build:

And our original custom profile on Mark from 2018 when we met up with him at the Bay Area maker faire where he told us of his original ambitions:

That trailer is impressive, to have a built in lightweight tracking mechanism constantly working in harsh road conditions for that long. Amazing really.
Way to go Mark! So glad to have meet such a pioneer in this much needed technology!
Mark - it was great to meet you in Manhattan beach! I'm planning to post a video about our solar trikes soon. Glad to see your travels are continuing well, and best of luck with the rest of the trip!
You guys make such awesome videos, I enjoy everything from the lectures to the customer profiles and updates.
That sun seeking solar roof is genius! Shade and charging optimation in one.
Looking forward to his Australia trip. Im looking at doing one on and outrider usa trike and solar. Love his setup
Cool call on the brighter lights. You can never been too visible to cars, IMO. I've had too many close calls with totally out of it car drivers while on my eBike.
Good luck on the road ahead, awesome work on the miles made!
Working on my solar e-bike recumbent camper. (micro e-bike campervan) It should be rolling soon.
Another absolutely fantastic vid about your journey!!!!! Please keep telling your story. Thanks from Woodinville WA.
Amazing guys. Truly amazing. What an experience that must be,
Very nice video and Mark is a very nice guy. Best of luck on your journey. He has inspired a lot of people. Me amongst others. I started 4 years ago building solar ebikes. So much fun.
Yeah Mark!!
Just absolutely epic. So inspiring to watch while I'm finishing up my ebike build and starting on my solar trailer. Going to have to get up to Grin next time I'm that far north. Much love!
If you go to a belt, just install the belt and install an extra belt at the same time and zip tie it out of the way. That way you can just clip the zip tie and slip the extra belt in place when needed.
Hope you let us know next time you're in San Diego, Mark. Would've been great to buy you a beer and chat about the bike and the trip. Good luck for the journey ahead!
So good!
This is so cool!
They make a type of belt that opens up and can be screwed together, for belt drive conversions. Edit: it's called a split belt
Great opening sound track!
