The first solar-powered electric bike is expected to have a range of almost 170 kilometres.

The Austrian newspaper Der Standard reports on the launch of the world's first solar-powered e-bike by Chinese manufacturer Phosgo. The bike, named Go 5, features four solar panels integrated into the wheels, capable of generating up to 200 watts of power. It comes in two variants, Pro and Ultra, with differences primarily in motor and battery configurations. The Ultra model has higher power output but is limited to legal standards in Europe and Australia. Both models include batteries made by LG and feature eight-speed Shimano gearing. The bike includes advanced technology such as GPS tracking, 4G connectivity, and smartphone integration via Bluetooth.
