Solar Fools Loop - 100% Solar Ebike Tour

Welcome to the Solar Fool’s Loop! Join me, Eric Tennant, on an epic 4-day off-grid bikepacking adventure through the rugged backcountry of Arizona. I’m tackling this grueling route on my custom-built 1000W electric bike, towing a DIY 200W solar panel trailer running on 59.2Ah at 48V of battery power. Watch as I push my rig to the absolute limits, dealing with scorching desert heat, freezing nights, massive mountain climbs, and catastrophic equipment failures. From crossing the Verde River and navigating the 90-degree drops at Horseshoe Dam, to breaking my solar trailer hinges and limping down the I-17 highway with just 1% battery—this trip is not for the faint of heart! Did the solar trailer survive? Will I make it home without pushing my bike? Watch to find out!
