About this project
Didier Vandenhove (Belgium) took part in The Sun Trip 2021, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar trike.
Didier Vandenhove from Belgium had registered for the 2020 Lyon–Canton edition but had to withdraw for work reasons. The Covid reshuffle of the Sun Trip calendar brought him back in 2021, riding for Enersol – a company that has helped clients with solar panels, storage, charging stations and heating since 1995.
