About this project
Jean-Louis Machado (France) took part in 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 trike.
Jean-Louis Machado, 45, rides with a disability and was the star of the 2017 regional edition, where everyone called him “Abrasracourcix”. His courage and independence earned him the jury prize. He returned in 2019 with an eye on the 2020 Lyon–Canton project.
