SunRed’s solar-powered motorbike inspired by Don’s DIY scooter?

SunRed’s concept idea for a solar-powered motorbike could be inspired by Don’s DIY solar-powered scooter. Of course, SunRed’s bike carries a more stylish and high-tech look, which its body is a snail-like clamshell that gives it a 25 square feet of solar panel coverage. When parked for charging itself up, it can then store up charge sufficient for a 12 mile range at a top speed of 30 miles per hour. Its electric motor is inside the rear axle, which saves on transmission friction so it would need less energy to drive it. SunRed is hoping to start making the prototype soon, while at the same time looking for VC to get it rolling.
