Our Journey
I’m Florian, the founder of sola.bike. My journey with solar-powered electric bikes began in the summer of 2023.
Initially, I started experimenting out of necessity—building roofs for our electric bikes to improve sun protection.

One thing led to another, and after countless experiments, welds, and failures, we finally had four working prototypes.
Fully packed to travel 38 days and 1000+km
Determined to put them to the test, my family of four—including my two teenagers—set off on an adventure,
riding our solar-powered e-bikes from Thailand through Laos to Vietnam.
The results exceeded expectations, proving that sustainable, long-range travel with solar-charged e-bikes is possible.
Our Mission
We believe in redefining e-bike travel by harnessing the power of the sun. Our goal is to offer a smarter,
more sustainable way to ride—whether for daily commutes or long-distance adventures.
With sola.bike, you’re not just buying an electric bike;
you’re investing in energy independence, innovation, and a greener future.
