8th Grader Builds Solar-Powered Bike
This is totally cool… it’s a 4-wheel bike with solar panels, batteries, GPS, and an iPod dock no less. It’s named the SOHH which is short for Solar Human Powered Hybrid Vehicle. It was built by 8th-grade student David Dixon and his dad David Sr. The base bike is no longer manufactured but is a Swiss-built ZEM (Zero Emission Machine) 4cycle. They picked it up for $3,900 and then added solar panels, batteries, electric motor, transmission, and a bunch of electronics.
