Universal solar roof for electric scooters

Designed by Motosola, this solar roof can be adapted to most of the electric scooters on the market.

Take advantage of the inexhaustible energy of the sun to recharge your electric scooter. This is the promise of the Australian company Motosola, which proposes to adapt the universal solar kit to most of the models on the market.

A Motosola proposal designed for equivalent models with a 50cc engine. See, intended for both the general public and professional fleets. It has two power levels: 100 or 150 watts. In terms of recovered energy, the supplier's website ensures that it can generate up to 1,5 kWh of energy per day. Probably an optimistic value that will allow you to no longer charge your electric scooter from a classic outlet in the vast majority of cases.

At this stage, the equipment manufacturer does not indicate a price for its solution. However, he encourages manufacturers to contact him for "custom designs."

From a market perspective, the system is expected to be the most successful in Asia. There, many utility scooters are already equipped with a roof to protect the driver and passenger from the sun and bad weather. Therefore, adding solar panels would be a plus, which would make the car even more environmentally friendly.
