About this project
Sofia & Nicolas (Morocco / France) took part in The Sun Trip 2021, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Sofia and Nicolas are a French-Moroccan couple working as expatriates in England, behind the Facebook page “Loutre Bout Du Monde”. For them The Sun Trip proves that even a journey to the end of the world needs no fossil fuel – just courage, imagination and a little madness – and a chance to inspire the people they meet.
