Another Maastricht University picture. The Medical Center #mumc Me trying to keep a good health cycling 7000km per year, in the mean time staying #emissionfree #reducecarbonfootprint #offgrid by charging my bike on triple solar panels. Now 300km on one battery and still counting...battery still full!

Testride Maastricht - Station Guillemins Liège visa versa. Collecting measurement data from the battery, energy consumption and charging speed. First results are very promising. #liegetogether #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution #solardeck #solartop #solfie #babboedeksel #sustainability #liegebike #ecluseliège #guillemins #calatrava #santiago #architecture

Sustainability is also using what you got. The code-lock (and tailgate) I used for my first prototype is now on my improved SOLFIE.

Tonight, after a full day working off-grid, I passed the upgraded ‘Tapijn Kazerne’ building, where the Maastricht University is located. Love what they did to the building! #maastrichtuniversity #tapijnkazerne #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution #solardeck #solartop #solfie

Today I officially started to count the distance traveling on solarpower. Everything is connected and working like it should and I’m curious how far this will bring me completely off-grid.

From idea to design to product: SOLFIE: the nose.

From idea to design to product: SOLFIE: the nose.
So nice to look back from where the idea started to evolve to something concrete.

Last post was my TV appearance recorded in December 2019.....
And this is the result. Thank you for the great paintjob @ronwilmes and the big help making the mold @sijenartservices @thomassijen #babboecarvemountain #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution #solardeck #solartop #solfie

Last Wednesday we had some exposure on national television. Pitching the SOLFIE, as off-grid solarcharging lid for cargobikes. Nice to have broader media attention for this self-conceived and developed application to extend the range to (almost) infinity.

Unwieldy or not? This is the ‘riding mode look’. One solarpanel visible. Two others in drawers on each side. Ready to use in ‘parking mode’.

Parked my Solarcargobike in the specially raised parking lot in the yard, so there is less chance of shade banking. #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution

Today first test ride. Upgraded solar capacity loo

Today first test ride. Upgraded solar capacity looks impressive... Going for zero charging from wall outlet. Combination with LifePo4 36V and 50Ah (so 1800 Wh) is going to provide this goal. #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution

So happy to see my SOLFIE coming back to life. Tomorrow I will start with the preparations for the electrical connections. Then the top panel can be mounted and after that I will share photos of the complete concept. #babboe #bakfiets #cargobike #rtl4briljant #lastenrad #solarbike #productdesign #productmanufacturing #zeroemission #missionzeromaastricht #zuidlimburgbereikbaar #urbanmobility #makeadifference #makeachange #createyourownmagic #solfie #solutionstotransformlives #solutionstopollution

Coming back from my first clients this morning in Wonck (B). Passing Chateau Neercanne and the Apolstelhoeve.

Another working day: waiting for the bicycle ferry from Geulle a/d Maas (NL) to Uikhoven (B), on my way to clients. #uikhoven #geulleaandemaas #veerpontje #bakfiets #babboe #cargobike #lastenfahrrad #velocargo #bicicletadecarga

This is also “another day at work”. Today there were many branches and sometimes whole tree trunks on the cycle path. Still love to cycle....!

Slowly..., but surely...., we’re getting there. This week paint job will be finished. Then the assembling starts en I finally can use my SOLFIE, with 3 integrated 100 watt panels on less than 1m2 in riding mode, to charge my 36V 50Ah LifePo4 battery (1800Wh). Getting rid of charging at home and using Solar in stread of electricity produced from coal and nuclear energy.

Everywhere I go I run into it. Sometimes very clear, sometimes less obvious... I can’t escape it, it’s just there, always.
