A motorcyclist in Arizona got so fed up waiting for bike makers to release a solar powered motorcycle that he decided to build one himself.
Richard Gryzch built ‘The Solar Flyer’ over a period two years, and funded the project by selling a home and his other motorbikes.
The bike has a top speed of 90mph and a 50 mile range – although details of how long it takes to charge on sunlight alone have not been released.
Gryzch – who says it’s always been his dream to build a solar powered bike - is secretive about the bike’s technical details, but has confessed that he is working on another model with a 300 mile range.
