About this project
Alain Ietter took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2023, Sun Trip Tour 2019 and Sun Trip Tour 2017, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar cargo bike.
Alain Ietter rode parts of the 2017 edition, the prologue of 2018 and the 2019 tour. He is passionate about every kind of bicycle – sport, utility, cargo and folding bikes, add-on motors and the elliptical ElliptiGO – and volunteers as a maker with vhelio.org, building bamboo bikes and the electro-solar recumbent “Rapto”.
