    Planning a cross-country bike tour? Considering self-contained with panniers, doing it credit card style at hotels, or this!​

    So it’s attached to a electric assist comfort bike and you could cover the top of the camper with solar panels to generate electricty. It’s a Digital Bike Nomad’s hotel at SXSW or a Cargonista’s dream vacation. Even a place to stay warm at a cross race.

    Buddy, if that was skinned in waterproof lycra and had a collapse-able frame it'd sure look good behind your motorized trike!

    Right now would be a good time to go south and spend the winter
    and come back to Tennessee in the spring.

    Don't need the solar panels with the Honda gasoline engine.

    BTW, Lightfoot has my trike pictured in their (gas) power assist page.

    We never do things the "standard" way. Their pic caption says:
    Greenway, Non-standard 35cc Honda Engine

    BTW, others are shown sitting in their trikes. You should get them to include you in their ad pic. Have Mary shoot you and send them another pic (hmmm... maybe that didn't come out just right.)

    The non-standard part is the engine. Rod uses Subaru engines and I had
    a new Honda on another bike, and used it. They have the same bolt pattern.

    Would ruin the picture with my face in it.

    Can you imagine trying to pull that in any kind of wind? A decent head wind would stop you in your tracks, and from the rear you couldn't stop it.....:jiggy9:

    Heck, it'd probably PUSH ya backwards! Thus my comment about a collapse-able frame for it.

    We looked into the micro-campers at one time, some motorcycles pull and were pretty impressed with the collapse-ability of them. Amazing how something so small could expand so much...

    Now that looks like we are cooking with gas. Wonder if that rack will hold my canoe? Probably need to stretch it out a couple more feet tho. :jiggy9:
