Shocking Ninja 250
Get it? Shocking? Because it’s electric.. And you know, Electricity — well — shocks…
*Ahem* Anyways, here is an interesting example of how not to impress the ladies. First, Take a Ninja 250. Second slap some D’s on it. (As in D-Cells) Glue a few solar panels on your house. And finally, enlist some ex-set builders from Star Trek to whip you up some fiberglass panels.. And Wallah! You got 70MPH with a range of 50 Miles.
All joking aside, it is a rather innovative idea. I like how people are showing the practicality of Solar, not just for the home, but for the road as well. Imagine the same setup on a Chevy Volt, or even a Plugin Prius. You’d be able to get a few extra miles a day for free by topping off your batteries with some sun juice.
It’s just at the end of the day, it hurts to see somone make your baby look goofy…
Thanks for the tip Julian! [via Autoblog Green]

Was wondering if you were going to post this!
Saw it on Gizmodo the other day. Too bad it cannot charge while on the road.
BTW got my bike back from the shop…time for you to head up north! We need to organize a 2fiddy ride!

Yeah, some on-board solar cells to extend the range even a few miles would be a little more interesting. Otherwise, it’s just electric without any real concern for the source of the electricity. If you can’t charge at your destination, the 25mi effective radius range just isn’t going to cut it.
