Innovation Created By California Company Serves For Rough Terrain And Can Be Charged With Solar Energy

The company Mokwheel, from California, United States, created a brand new electric bike model, capable of functioning as a solar energy station to charge devices such as smartphones and laptops. With up to 1000 W of installed power and input for photovoltaic panels in the frame, the bike is designed for rough terrain and with sunlight incidence.

The great achievement of the company was to obtain an inverter with solar charging capability, which transforms the bike into a station for generating electric energy from sunlight. In other words, you will never run out of battery on your phone during a ride, or without power in a house far from the city. To learn more about this innovation, check out the features below.

Basalt E-Bike Model Has Adventurous Style, Is Resistant, Charged With Solar Energy And Designed On Sustainability Principles

The Basalt e-bike is the name of the electric bike model created by the California company and promises to be the revolution in the market for sustainability. After all, it is the first in the world to have the fusion of an electric bike and energy station. The stored energy can be used to charge devices and even power household appliances like electric cookers.

The design does not disappoint and satisfies even the most discerning adventurers, as it is built to withstand the irregularities of rough terrain. This super machine is durable and equipped with 26-inch wheels, hydraulic brakes, tires specific to difficult mobility terrain, and also a hydraulic fork with 110 mm of travel. The frame can support up to 181 kilograms.

In addition, the model features a super motor of 750 W with torque of 8.6 kgfm and maximum speed of 45 km/h. It also has 960 Wh batteries that provide up to 136 km of autonomy on just one charge and a state-of-the-art LED monitor with information on the solar energy level for updates.

The Inverter With Solar Charging Capability Is The Differential Of The Electric Bike That Serves As An Energy Station

The Basalt model is already impressive for its frame characteristics and autonomy. However, the real differential is the inverter that can have solar charging and transforms the equipment into a true energy station in places where there is only sun.

This inverter is an important innovation in the world of mobility, as it allows charging devices such as phones, laptops, cameras, and even powering small household appliances. This, in combination, makes the bike a highly desirable item among consumers worldwide, especially for sustainability.

In total, the bike can provide up to 1000 W of energy and features USB-C outputs and domestic AC. In addition, it is compatible with additional solar panels ranging from 18 to 48 volts to increase its capacity to generate power.

The Basalt E-Bike Can Be Purchased On The Indiegogo Website And Imported To Brazil

The model is already being sold in North America and now you can also have one here in Brazil imported. To do this, just visit the platform’s website (clicking here) and sign up to receive a discount of up to 31% on the total value.

As Indiegogo is a crowdfunding platform, the price is below the market, estimated at US$ 2,000.00, which is around R$ 10 thousand in Brazil. Would you buy one?
