Interesting concepts. I imagine it would be a struggle to keep them charged up while travelling, though.

it won't take too much dirt and mud to mess this up

Otherwise I would guess that you'd want a very good foldable solar panel to go with either electric motorcycle. This bike's battery is 48V at 40 AH

They are sort of interesting. But if you can only go 50 or 60 miles on a charge that's hardly enough to justify putting all the gear on and getting the bike out of the garage.
