Solar Panel wattage for my Electric Bike?

Q. Solar Panel wattage for my Electric Bike?
I am looking to purchase an Electric Bike for transport to work. I work on an Organic farm and need to save some energy up those hills.

I need help figuring out what size solar panels would be needed to charge the battery, and whether its plausible.

I'm looking at Ebay in Australia as I am immigrating down there. I prefer to afford the foldable/portable solar panel system: 80 watt, 120 watt, 160 watt, but IF necessary a bit more.

300w 3 PHASE 36v ELECTRIC REAR WHEEL
THREE 12v 17ah SLA BATTERIES (Total 36v)

or

Motor: 250 Watt brush-less DC hub
Batteries: 24V/10Ah pack, valve regulated

can anyone out there help explain to me how to figure this out?

thanks :)

Electric bike??? does an electric bike or motor cycle require license to drive on?

Q.

Answer
It depends on two basic things. One, where you live. The rules are different around the world. Two, what size bike or motorcycle it is. A bicycle with an electric motor is still a bicycle in my state. Electric motorcycles are available that go about 80 or 90 miles per hour. Those are classified as, and require the same licensing as gas motorcycles.

Help me shop for an electric bike/scooter!?

effexorz

I'm really on the fence about exactly what I want. I live in Berkeley, California, and I really don't know what I want, except that it should go at LEAST 18-20mph, and have at LEAST a 10 mile range per charge. Pedalling combo might be good too, but I'm not sure. Give me as much concise information as you can.

Answer
It depends how much you're willing to spend. I owned one (in fact I'm currently trying to sell it) that had a range of about 13 miles and top speed of 20 mph that initially cost about $1300.

Now I own one which has a range of 30 miles and top speed of 50 mph which cost $3600.

I also owned an electric bike which would have worked well in Berkeley (that's where I went to college, btw) and only cost $350.

Whats the Best Dirt bike out there? Easy 10 PTS!?

Q. I do not care how much the price is, it has to be a dirt bike/ or duel. Please tell me the brand,Price,CC, year, and MPH

Answer
KTM 530EXC, full up racing bike that comes street legal. price varies depending on location but around $8,000-8,500, 510cc, 6 gear wide ratio transmission, electric start. ~12 inches front & 13 inches rear travel, right at 251 lbs, top speed with stock gearing slightly over 100 mph...

I have personally owned over 50 off-road motorcycles dating back into the 60s, raced MX, harescrambles, enduro, cross country, etc. and my competitive race bike of choice that I currently own is the KTM 520 & 525 EXC from a few years back... very hard to beat for the majority of off road riding to be done... not set up for MX/SX with the wide ratio tranny & softer suspension necessarily but as I get older, I do that type of riding less and less. if I did MX more, I might opt for one of the newer fuel injected CRF450 or KX450F over the KTM EXC...
