ABOUT US
As two senior students electrotechnical power engineering at the KU Leuven (Belgium), we are designing our own solar bike to participate in The Sun Trip Tour 2017. Through this way, we hope to experience a beautiful trip and we want to show the world there are a lot of alternatives including renewable energy.

THE SUN TRIP
The first Sun Trip project started in 2013, organized by current director Florian Bailly. In 2013 (and later on in the second edition of 2015), it was a race where the participants had to travel over 7.000 km throughout parts of Europe and Asia using an electric bike only powered by the sun. This year, the first Sun Trip Tour will take place from July 8th until July 21st. Compared to the last two editions, it won't be a race but just a parcours of 1.100 km through the southeastern part of France, including parts of the Alps. For more information, visit The Sun Trip.
