World's Lightest Solar Bike Camper (14.5 kg)

The ZolarCoffin (yes, it looks like a coffin...) is - as far as I know - the world's lightest bike camper (or sleeping pod) weighing just 14.5 kg with the 160 Wp semi-flexibel solar panel and approx. 12.5 kg without it.
It is only 67cm wide but fits a comfortable mattress of 180x60x7cm. There is also a bit more headroom in front of the mattress.
Having only one wheel helps to keep the weight down and to avoid pot holes (as the camper wheel follows the bike wheels). It also reduces rolling resistance - especially if riding on narrow country lanes where a normal two-wheeled trailer might have both trailer wheels driving through the grass.

the small bamboo frame is a good way to have a flat roof that supports solar. Can hang things up on it is cool too. coroplast builds use domed roofs for this reason. Coroplast tension floor is great idea. An angled design that allows sitting up would be much higher utility. Extremely well done on the weight.

Interssantes Konzept. Erstaunlich, wie leicht es geht! Wäre ein 2. Rad + eine einfachere Deichsel vielleicht gar nicht schwerer?

Thank for solar panel information

[@skyl4rk]

How many Watts of solar? How far can uou travel on solar power in a day? Did you feel that the width was adequate? What is the interior height? Thanks.

[@ZolarEnergynet]

160Wp on the trailer and another 170Wp on the Bike. In the summer I can go like 100-150 km a day with it. Width @65cm is totally fine for one person. Interior height is ~64 cm at the head and ~52cm at the feet (close to the rear wheel).

@@ZolarEnergynet great job!

[@MichaelFergusonVideos]

Clever. Well done!

[@KimmoJaskari]

I mean it's clever. It also makes no sense, just strap a tent to your back and go.

[@ZolarEnergynet]

Both have pro and cons. Tent of course is lighter and more compact. But you need more time to put it up and disassemble it. Also legally the trailer is a bit of grey area in regions where wild camping is not officially allowed. Or at the very least its not as intrusive as pitching up a tent and you can also much more quickly move on in the rare case that somebody (e.g. forester) tells you to do so. Additionally, it gives me an extra boost through the solar panel and I don't have to handle a wet tent in case it is raining.

Jo Biden needs a bike like that. Go for it!

Looks really nice...how long can the power hold when i want to cook with a rice cooker... thanks good job

[@ZolarEnergynet]

The 1l rice cooker takes approx. 100 Wh to cook a meal (sufficient for 2 persons or one eating a lot). The battery is 500 Wh so cooking takes 1/5th of the energy available. The other 4/5 can be used for the motor. When going on a day trip with the camper during sunny summer weather the solar can produce approx. 1000 Wh, so preparing cooking will just be 10% of the solar energy produced.

the car is so ugly🤑🤪

[@malektubaishat8]

it's very ugly

[@agamverma-eg6fr]

Looks like a cardboard coffin to me...come on man, where you gonna camp with this cardbox, your backyard... I mean, there has to be some sort of structural security, as by definition camping means to live off-grid in nature...what is this going to protect you from, tooth fairy? Be practical bro...

[@ZolarEnergynet]

Yes, it looks like a coffin (see video description). Have already done several trips with wild camping. People also do a lot of camping with tents which don't provide any more protection. If you want maximum security it's probably best to just stay at home...

[@agamverma-eg6fr]

@@ZolarEnergynet Good for you bro.. probably you got an Assault Rifle ready somewhere in that coffin! Enjoy the camping..cheers..
