YongLE Risheng CG combines solar and wind energy in a design reminiscent of the classic Honda CG 125, promising sustainable mobility in the Asian market.
Chinese manufacturer YongLE Risheng has announced the launch of a new electric motorcycle model that runs on wind and solar energy. With a design reminiscent of the classic Honda CG 125, the new model relies on renewable energy sources to move around and is now available for sale in the Asian market.
The model, called the YongLE Risheng CG, combines solar energy and wind power through a retrofitted frame with solar panels and a wind turbine. While it has not yet undergone public testing or independent verification, the bike promises to be a sustainable alternative in a market that is growing with a focus on reducing carbon emissions.
YongLE electric motorcycle combines sustainable technologies
The electric motorcycle launched by YongLE Risheng was developed with an unusual proposal: combining solar and wind energy to recharge its battery. The structure has a 250 W solar panel installed on a roof fixed to the chassis, in addition to a wind turbine that takes advantage of the wind while the vehicle is in motion or parked in ventilated places.
- France installs 24-meter submerged tidal turbines with €31,3 million investment; each unit is assembled in just 20 minutes
- US criticizes energy transition policies and defends continued use of fossil fuels at IEA summit
- PowerChina investments in Ceará: R$1,8 billion for the development of solar energy
- Easy-to-install wind turbine costs less than 3 THOUSAND, can generate energy 24 hours a day, supply 50% to 100% of the consumption of a conventional residence and still last 25 years
The lithium-phosphate battery has a capacity of 30 Ah, and the 1500 W motor provides a maximum speed of up to 59 km/h. With a full battery charge, the model can travel between 80 and 120 kilometers, according to the manufacturer. When using exclusively solar or wind energy, the range is reduced to around 50 kilometers.
Adapted design and lightweight structure
Visually, the YongLE Risheng CG is reminiscent of the classic Honda CG 125 model, launched in the 1970s. Despite the modifications and the equipped roof, the total weight of the bike is 133 kg. This is due to the use of lightweight materials and the focus on energy efficiency.
The electric motorcycle is equipped with disc brakes on both wheels, a telescopic fork on the front suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear and a three-speed transmission system. These elements contribute to improving drivability, even with the additional structure installed on the vehicle.
Renewable energy gains ground in the automotive sector
YongLE Risheng's bet on an electric motorcycle that runs on wind and solar energy follows a growing trend in global automotive sector: the use of renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
In recent years, solar energy-based solutions have been increasingly used in vehicle designs, particularly in Asian and European countries. Although the efficiency of these sources still faces limitations, especially in small vehicles, the development of alternatives continues at a rapid pace.
Technical data has not yet been validated by independent tests
Despite the official announcement and information released by the manufacturer, the electric motorcycle's performance data has not been proven by regulatory bodies or public technical tests. In YongLE Risheng official website, there is also no information about the sale price of the CG with solar roof and wind turbine.
According to the New Atlas portal, the company is known for developing vehicles powered by renewable energy, with characteristics that are outside the traditional market standard. Among its previous projects are tricycles with wind turbines, electric boats and other electric vehicles with a distinctive look.
Electric motorcycle that runs on wind and solar energy is now on sale
The electric motorcycle that runs on wind and solar energy has already been launched commercially, although the manufacturer has not disclosed the prices or the international markets in which the model may be offered in the future. With a focus on sustainable innovation, the project still depends on public acceptance and practical verification of its capabilities.
The framework created by YongLE Risheng reinforces the potential of compact vehicles powered by renewable energy, although actual performance may vary depending on operating conditions. In areas with greater sun and wind, direct use of solar and wind energy can contribute to more autonomous and economical mobility.
