THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA😲,I wish the idea for these type of bikes were around when I was younger! They seem a great way to get around when U don't need a car,.just for older people to get around ,for short trips.😲🤓😍😍😍😍
Hi Tony What a nice Pickup truck You have made there 😊 And the Pedal-generator thing is like many new factory-made small delivery vehicles is made these days. And no problems with chaindrive to the backwheels I wonder if You could ditch the trailer, save a big part of the trailer-weight and make the Pickup more nimble in traffic, by moving the solarpanels up at a big hinged lid at the truck-bed ?. The lid must be able to keep open maybe 35-40 degrees while you load and unload and must be lockable secure flat while driving and not catch sidewind. Lighter weight also needs less motors and less batteries. But if You your 540 RPM hubmotor can’t manage the hills alone like most hubmotors, then look for gearing for your motor. Maybe just LO-gear / HI-gear is enough. It's only Tesla's which can manage without gears because of insanely high motor-RPM at high speed ;-) Kind regards form Denmark, Happy driving
True, but I had one with panels on top. The wind was a problem. Also weight on the 1 hp drive. The panel trailer powers it self. I don't even know it's behind me. Also carries more batteries, less weight on the pickup wheels.btw..my ancestors are from Denmark.
Kick-ass we need a ton more freedom to make our way in this world without some politic screwing our face in the mud, wish I could live next to this guy. Awesome!...
❤😊 brilliant! 👍 I would love to see more lightweight aerodynamic human-powered hybrid renewable electric vehicles on our roads. it is the obvious thing to do ... Thank God for individuals 🙏❤❤❤
I would say lose the pedals you could put an extra battery or two up there and just get more solar power you can have it fixed up to where you’ve got panels everywhere they’ll fit on the top and sides of that truck and you could also have seven or 800 W of foldable, flexible, solar panels folded up in the bed when you stop you could just have all your solar charging it
There is a guy with a VW rabbit pickup and he has a trailer push’s him that is electric he was on the news got 100 mpg he was a professor at a college.
That is very true, in the past, I have had rooftop panels. One problem was the wind, driving with the panels tilted to the sun, would catch the wind just right and cause steering problems. rooftop panels are in the works, but I will keep the trailer for the extra load-bearing capacity, and some extra power. The current law limits the truck to 1 hp. but says nothing about a powered trailer. It pulls itself and provides a bit of push on some hills.
I want to bet that if you contacted Elon Musk he would probably donate you a bunch of batteries and help build you a light-weight frame. I absolutely LOVE your creation and ingenuity! No one needs going fishing when they have the brains to create things like that! Well done "Corn Cob"! 😄

Bugsy malone..id like to print a full size austin mini in carbon fibre..cast the subframes from old ally cans....looking for co labers....need a location to bee @
Tricycle has three wheels .. but they are not called Tricycle tires .. they are called Bicycle tires .. I guess the trailer could be called a Bicycle since it only has two wheels .. lol 😀
electric bike rims have motors mounted on them and are getting very cheap. you would no longer have to pedal period and if you installed one for each wheel you would be 4 wheel drive. i plan on making something similar with them but a 4 seater
trailer keeps the panel profile lower, carries some of the battery weight also. trailer has wheel motors ,so provide extra power. Jalopy is restricted to 1hp. all that weight would stop it on hills. absolutely essential.

it's so kind to the earth! use what you have, put it together , howe it serves you!! fantastic!
i wish i can give this another thumbs up..
Nice job. Looks like fun.!
That be the most beautiful car I ever did see ..
A very good idea
Absolutely fabulous ! Great job Tony and Merwin for interview !!! 😉🙃😎 NZ

Excellent thanks for sharing
I AM IN AWE 🤩

That's very clever. She's a nice truck.Goid music too🎉

thats cool.
You Could Use Them Little Propane Or Butane Type Heaters & Make A Mount In Your Cab?.......Very Cool Quadracycle....Nice Work!
Genius a brilliant design 👏
Excellent, new sub, thanks for sharing. Cheers.
that is one smart feller
Great job, love the dually
Beer's and cat ❤😅food
Corncob! That slayed me lol.
This guy's independent thinker.

No pedals license
Now
awesome build
Seems like you could just add a roof and put the solar panels on that. You could also use both alternators as a brake.
yes, but weight is already a problem,,limited to 1 hp on the jalopy
gotta make the solar panels part of the cab roof and a bed cover/ladder rack then ditch the trailer!
too much weight now, limited to 1 hp on the jalopy, trailer pulls itself
Very cool dude.
bravo cool
Reminds me of the pedal cars from bugsy malone
There is a guy with a VW rabbit pickup and he has a trailer push’s him that is electric he was on the news got 100 mpg he was a professor at a college.
He concerned about the lien with his suspension, he could make a anti-sway bar and put on it
lean not really a problem..thought about a sway bar, that added weight...I did put stronger springs, works fine
Great vehicle, The panels could have been on the truck part and eliminate the trailer and tons of hardware, but Im not the builder so must be usefull.
That is very true, in the past, I have had rooftop panels. One problem was the wind, driving with the panels tilted to the sun, would catch the wind just right and cause steering problems. rooftop panels are in the works, but I will keep the trailer for the extra load-bearing capacity, and some

if i didnt have any heart issues , id want one . its amaiZing when you cut and try. ahhh ooog a.
I have a trike can do all throttle or pedal assist all throttle about 15 miles pedal assist 20 or more depending on how much assist i want
nice
Ретро грузовик 🔥👍

Funny when you said he would donate
@@freedomisfromtruth Oh? You mean you have come up with something similar, reached out to Elon and he refused?
Very very nice. I wish Elon musk sold these things
Very ingenious, have you got video of how you built it?
Sorry .. no build videos.

Let's get a Kenworth model going next :)
Yeah...painted farmall color
have you thought about changing the name on the front to tonybilt
ifI can find a sign like that , on the road side?

Bicycle has 2 and only 2 wheels. Hence the term bi cycle.
Tricycle has three wheels .. but they are not called Tricycle tires .. they are called Bicycle tires .. I guess the trailer could be called a Bicycle since it only has two wheels .. lol 😀
How do you ride an hour under the noon sun when it's only there for a minute?
lots of power, even with low sun
I keep up with the earth's rotation
electric bike rims have motors mounted on them and are getting very cheap. you would no longer have to pedal period and if you installed one for each wheel you would be 4 wheel drive. i plan on making something similar with them but a 4 seater
Notice that the pedals do not drive anything but a generator .. he can pedal at stop signs !
Trailer has hub motors..needs pedals to be legal
Why don't you flatten the roof, and put the solar panels on there? Also reduces weight so you don't need that trailer
Trailer keeps the profile lower....also more motors
trailer keeps the panel profile lower, carries some of the battery weight also. trailer has wheel motors ,so provide extra power. Jalopy is restricted to 1hp. all that weight would stop it on hills. absolutely essential.
Now put a little v twin on it
Yeah all that work so it doesn't use gas good solution...
need a license, registration , and insurance then!
