Note that the range won't be unlimited insofar as you won't be able to cycle with electricity continuously with a solar panel trailer - Simon Clark actually made an experiment on this very subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sZJqynNhOk
Seriously cool stuff otherwise though mate, keep slaying
At full sun in winter, I get enough power to charge a battery in about 4 hours.
With pedal assist, I get about 6-7 hours of cycling.
Adding in the trailer weight and terrain/clouds depending, the roughly 1200w of power are more than enough to keep me going during daylight.
That guy needs to use a better panel, and lighter trailer. I've seen people who do exactly what I'm wanting to do. Checking the comments, people are more or less saying the same thing.
I disagree with his assessment, but I do like his style, so thanks for introducing me to a new channel!
