About this project
Vincent Gallego (France) took part in The Sun Trip 2024, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar trike.
Vincent Gallego, a keen traveller, rode a Tricon trike with a solar panel from Déclic’Eco on his first long-distance tour in 2024 – not as a race but as a journey of discovery, with one personal challenge: never plugging into the mains.
