The Norwegian company Infinite has announced the production start of the INGA and LØKKA, the world’s first self-charging solar cargo bikes and trikes. These innovative vehicles are powered by up to 550 watts of solar cells, which can generate up to 100% of their energy needs. This means that you can leave them under the sun and they will be ready to power your journeys with clean, renewable energy.
