Solar eBike Trailer

thingiverse

We are planning on some overnight bike trips with our eBikes. We will need to bring our tent and other camping supplies. We will not always have access to AC charging. I developed this solar panel system that attaches to the trailer. It automatically aims the solar panel at the sun while we are riding. I will charge a second Bosch eBike battery. The control system in another project.
