Solar Ebike and Camper: Recharge While You Ride and Camp!

I am 60 years old with bad back and bad knees and I just couldn't ride a pedal bike any more but I still wanted to get a little exercise and I love to take my dogs on adventures. So last year I got an Ariel X 52 volt ebike that can go 35mph with a 30mile range and I use that all the time in good weather for doing resupply runs to the store, take the dogs in the trailer and adventure riding.

I live completely off grid with solar and wind power so my ebike battery is charged from those but I also set up a recharging station just for the ebike and designed a solar camper out of the dog trailer so I can take my adventure gear along and recharge the ebike for longer trips.

Here are some videos to show you those projects and ideas for your own ebike recharging stations:

This is such a cool idea! I am your same age.  I know so many people in our age range who just complain and take more Big Pharma pills, then die. What you are doing is so, so much better!  What a great solution! I am always looking at ways to get around and keep active, using diet and plant medicines to still participate.  Great post!
