Young Ghanaian Developed an Electric Motorcycle That Uses Solar Energy and Can Run for a Week Without Recharging. The Vehicle Also Has a Radio and Bluetooth Speaker, Besides Solar Panels.

At 17, Ghanaian Samuel Aboagye is already a great inventor. After going viral for building a Bluetooth speaker using just a plastic gallon, the young man is back in the headlines with another invention: an electric motorcycle made of wood that uses solar panels. According to Samuel, solar energy was chosen with the aim of reducing CO₂ emissions in the environment. The electric motorcycle is recharged using electricity but has a solar panel that helps to extend its range. According to Samuel, the vehicle can be used for about a week without needing to be charged.

Young Man Develops Electric Motorcycle with Wood That Would Be Used as Firewood

To bring the project to life, Samuel gathered old parts, even from other bicycles, as well as wood that would have been used as firewood. At first, he considered developing an electric car; however, due to the little money he had to invest in the project, he opted to develop a motorcycle with solar panels.

According to the inventor, there is a lot of wood at his home and neighbors use it as firewood in their fires. One day, the young Ghanaian noticed that wood could be used for another purpose. Samuel says he even received donations on the street after he started showcasing the electric motorcycle.

According to Samuel, sometimes he doesn’t know exactly what he is doing, but when the idea comes to his mind, he knows exactly what to do. However, sometimes it’s necessary to forgo his own meals to buy materials for the project.

Who helped the young man in the process of building his solar-powered electric motorcycle was his Science teacher, David Sam Haigan. He was responsible for guiding him in integrating the energy into the motorcycle. The young man’s vehicle also has a Bluetooth speaker and a radio that can tune into more than 100 stations in Accra, the capital city.

The young man states that before his father died of diabetes, he told him to give his best in everything he did and not to worry about what people would say, as he would become a good person.

Indian YouTuber Develops Electric Motorcycle with Just One Wheel

In November of last year, an Indian YouTuber developed a self-balancing electric motorcycle that uses just one wheel. The vehicle features a wide wheel equipped with a hub motor. The Indian emphasizes that wider wheels are easier to balance compared to thinner ones.

With the motorcycle’s structure fully made, the Indian installed a self-balancing sensor on the vehicle. The sensor is one of the most important technologies of the project, and it is through this component that the electric motorcycle is able to stand upright.

The sensor part requires attention and must be installed correctly and firmly to avoid affecting the calibration of the gyroscope, which keeps the vehicle upright.
