see here. The trunk contains the motor controller as well as six 12 volt, 17 amp hour batteries (4 for the motor, 1 for lights, 1 for the car stereo) . The roof is rated to withstand full coverage of thin solar panels, but until the nano geeks make the new age of printable solar panels commercially available, it is just way more cost effective to place my spare resource dollars into better batteries. … recumbent pedicab venice solar gondola hub motor emission free innovate or die trike human …

what happens when it rains? haha : )
Excellent thought bro lol.
It’s a reekshaw, not a gondola, a gondola is intended to be a boat
Yeah, I thought what a fantastic thought for Laclede’s Landing. Give the horse-drawn carriages some competition. But like you said, way too hilly.
small solar cell, but incredible you can run all of those things on it. 5 stars definatly!
Fantastic!
that one solar panel charges all those batteries
Very fun! Fantastic vid!
You were such an inspiration I went on ebay and found a rare Organic Engines pedicab for sale.I bought it to use as a family car in NYC.
I noticed you were selling The Solar Gondola on craigslist.I tried called my cousin who lives in the valley and tried to talk him into to buying it….maybe he will.
Thanks jpr the fantastic video

A very professional and entertaining video, never mind the ingenuity showed in making your taxi, Reno! I have a more conventional tandem tricycle (upright riding positions), hand built years ago in England when I still lived there. (I’m now in St. Louis, MO.) You appear to have the advantage of level geography, whereas around here it’s very hilly. Keep up the excellent work!
a class act!! way to go Reno!
…yes, the mustache is real!
This is absolutely terrific…but, is that mustache for real??
Finally someone figured out a way to get away from those rude taxi drivers, get some fresh air while helping out the enviorment.. kudos to you Reno.. Rome could really use your solar gondola with all those motorcycles polluting the air and clogging up traffic! Bravo, Bravo Reno!!!
When does the next episode air? I want more…that is some excellent stuff.
Nice work all around. Top shelf.
