Solar Quadricycle with a spot for your dog


This impressive Solar Quadricycle is a hybrid vehicle which is allowed for street driving. This fascinating beast comes with a solar powered electric engine, spaces available for three persons and a room for groceries as well as your four legged friend. Constructed by an eighth-grader, this eye catching runabout is capable to give you a lot of fun while driving.

This captivating solar powered hybrid is built by 14 year old David Dixon of Novato, California specifically for a middle school project. This do it yourself project included some solar panels as well as its electric engine. With maximum speed limited at 14 miles per hour, this Quadricycle features 24 volt engine and 1 horsepower available.

This intelligent solar powered Quadricycle is powered by Green Saver Silicone Gel Cell batteries coming with 20 watt solar panels. The Quadricycle also incorporates an iPod, GPS system and lights which are also fed by the batteries. In order to show perfect pedaling, its engine is not so big.

Finally, the Quadricycle was adapted not to exceed 18 miles per hour under power. In order to build this Quadricycle, you will need to shell out 6, 400 USD. It is not planned to be mass produced, but with green mentality and its practicability we could drive such a runabout one day.
