    I’ve got some 300w solar panels, a couple electric bikes, and extra batteries I’ve been wanting to hook up on some kind of trailer to give myself effectively unlimited range.

    I’m sure whoever finds my stash after the world ends will enjoy it since I’ll probably be dead.

        At full sun in winter, I get enough power to charge a battery in about 4 hours.

        With pedal assist, I get about 6-7 hours of cycling.

        Adding in the trailer weight and terrain/clouds depending, the roughly 1200w of power are more than enough to keep me going during daylight.

        That guy needs to use a better panel, and lighter trailer. I’ve seen people who do exactly what I’m wanting to do. Checking the comments, people are more or less saying the same thing.

        I disagree with his assessment, but I do like his style, so thanks for introducing me to a new channel!
