Cycle Sol Bike Combines Style, Solar Power

Cycle Sol Looks Better Than its Concept Art
Electric bikes are nothing new; in fact, we've covered quite a few (even a 'trike) over the years. However, they're far from commonplace, generally hampered by crummy range and, often, a lack of a roof. The concept Cycle Sol tackles both of those problems in a bright yellow package that might just keep you from getting run over by inattentive drivers.

Designer Miroslav Miljevic has imagined this bike as a solar-powered means of transportation that could speed along at up to 15mph on an electric battery. If the battery is drained, the bike can still be pedaled normally until it recharges, either via a plug or via the sun shining down on the solar panels above. Perfect for urban commuters -- so long as they live in Concept Land, because that's the only place this thing exists right now. But, you can at least see another (less creepy) pic of it from multiple angles after the break. [From: The Daily Mail]
