Solar Powered Bicycle

Canadian entrepreneur Peter Sandler developed the first all Solar electric bicycle driven completely from power derived from the Sun's rays. The 'Sunny Bicycle' has light absorbing solar panels built right into the wheels, creating continual power from the Sun and maintaining a constant charge to the batteries.

The variable speed electronic controller drives the bike to speeds of up to almost 19 miles per hour. Cost of the 'Sunny Bicycle' is $1295.00.

My bike club and I looked at that site, it's totally fake. Those panels would not generate anywhere near the 500 watts needed to run the motor.
