The SunCycle is an electric bicycle made up of three crucial elements:
What further sets the SunCycle apart is the fact that it is completely solar powered, and running on renewable energy. The SunCycle is the most efficient, affordable and sustainable way of moving Woohoo!
Solar-powered recharge
The SunCycle battery can be recharged, for free, at any one of our solar stations. We designed the SunCycle in such a way that we can quickly exchange your battery, so that you can keep on cycling to your heart’s content. The charging stations also offer additional services such as mobile phone recharge, using the most sustainable energy source: the sun.
SunCycle workshops Want to learn how to design, build and maintain your own SunCycle? Join one of our SunWorkshops! We’ll show you everything you need to know about keeping your SunCycle fit, how to make the most out of solar recharge, plus a few dandy extras.
For everyone
When we started work on the SunCycle design, our goal was to develop an affordable electric bicycle, so that everyone can join us to cycle (faster) towards a more sustainable future. This is still our main concern and we work hard to keep the SunCycle the most obvious option when making transport choices. And just so you know, the SunCycle is still way cheaper than the taxi!
Simple Technology
We designed the SunCycle in the most uncomplicated manner, using the simplest technology possible, meaning that service and maintenance can be done by the customer himself. We strongly believe in the Do-It-Yourself mentality, helping the SunCyclist to better understand his/her product and save on expenses.
Our Vision
Because we believe that we are borrowing the planet from our children, we want to play our part in shaping a sustainable future and creating a society worth living in by minimising the use of non-renewable natural resources. Namibia – with its super sunny conditions – has the possibility of becoming the first carbon-neutral country in the world, independent from fuel, coal and electricity imports.
The SunCycle dream is to:
Offer a more sustainable, affordable, and environmentally friendly form of energy and mobility
Make solar-powered electric mobility accessible to Namibians
Transfer knowledge, skills and know-how regarding electric mobility
Create employment and equal opportunities
