Bosch Solar rides the sun with new solar bike

(ADPnews) – Oct 13, 2010 - Bosch Solar Energy AG (PINK:BSLRF), the solar energy division of the Bosch Group, has come up with a bike operating exclusively on solar-generated power.

The new product, which will be showcased at this year's Solar Power International 2010 in Los Angeles, integrates the company’s high-performance thin-film solar modules with a new type of drive system for Bosch e-bikes.

The modules supply reliable, environmentally-friendly driving power, even at sub-optimal levels of sunlight. The electric motor kicks in to help riders on uphill stretches, making it easier for riders to pedal.
