Q. ok, i got an idea to put a skillsaw motor on a bicycle and use lithium batteries off an electric wheelchair. you guys think it'll work?? any advice or cautions??


Answer
You can simply buy an electric bicycle conversion kit, which is basically just an electric motor you attach to your bicycle. There are many available, and they've been specifically designed for that purpose. Splicing something together might be a fun project, but no doubt it wouldn't work nearly as well.

Is there a kit I can buy to make my bike solar powered?

I want to make my bike solar powered. I would like to just be able to plug my bike into a solar panel and then unplug for use. It would also be cool if I could pedal and the bike charges from peddling. I want a price range of $50-$100 and not that astalian company. Thanks!


Answer
Search the web for electric bicycle conversion, and you'll find some kits. The price is going to be more like $500. Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear. And that price does not include a solar panel.

The wall chargers for the bike batteries are often 24 or 36 volts, and might be replaced with a large solar panel with some tinkering. However, a better scheme would be to connect the solar to your house wiring through grid-tie, because then you would get the benefit of solar electricity every minute that the sun is shining, not just when the bike battery is plugged in. The bike could still be charged from the wall outlet.
