It has been reported in most parts of the world that pedal power is the new alternative way to get to places. However, there are some people who may not be able to appreciate the leg power that modern bikes provide but this new solar powered bike called the Cycle Sol can perhaps fix all of that.

The Cycle Sol is in the concept stage but Mr Miljevic hopes to be able to mass-produce it once he has found a manufacturer.

He said: “It is just like an electric bike but the motor runs on a battery powered by solar energy. You can leave it outside the office during the day to top up the rechargeable, ready for the ride home. These days solar cells are pretty good at picking up the lowest amount of light so it should still work when the skies are cloudy.

“The handlebars are positioned on either side of the seat so you can lean back for a comfortable ride.”

With this new invention, pedal power has surely been given an added boost. Now we will not have to worry about making excuses since it is designed for people in all states or physical defects that they may have.
