About this project
Géry Gevers (Belgium) took part in Sun Trip France 2020, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar tandem.
Géry Gevers rides a Hase Pino all-round bike, electrified with robust, simple parts on the advice of two-time Sun Trip winner Raf Van Hulle and with help from Het Fietslab in Leuven. His single-wheel trailer carries solar panels mounted very low against wind and truck turbulence – stacked while riding, unfolded for charging stops. He co-founded bay2bay and planned to cross the USA by solar tandem with his friend Baudouin de Hemptinne.
