About this project
Olivier & Norbert took part in Sun Trip Tour 2019, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar tandem.
Olivier and Norbert are a French-German pair of friends living in Ulm. They rode a Pino tandem with a solar roof plus a Sun Travel trailer – and clearly came to win the communication challenge, filming their adventure with a small 360° camera.
