No pedals and not a motorcycle, maybe it is a electric scooter or a electronic pocket bike. On sunny days I can charge using solar pannels …
This is a continuation of the battery box fabrication. It shows the lid fabrication that has lots of angles, bends and notches. It turned out really nice I think. The next and the last video will show how I solder the internal charging connector and install the batteries.

See the new solar paint in a rattle can, now you can just spray on the power collector everywhere you like!…..in 2055 lol
Renewable energy at its best. Just WOW.
Nice, good job.
I want one, where can I buy it and when?
This is something nice for the summervacation !
It is ugly, but just ugly enough to be good. Looks highly functional. Bet you could sell a lot on beach boardwalks or wherever it’s sunny. Very cool.
