Fascinating what can be discovered online, when one persists with searching.

I have posted about a solar-powered electric recumbent trike available for purchase:

Yesterday, posted about recumbent rider groups in Australia:

One of the members of the Adelaide group has built a solar panel on his recumbent:

...interesting, it is a quad bike. My understanding is that in WA and most States, a quad is considered not to be a bicycle and is required to be registered. Maybe the law in South Australia is different. Or, he has been able to classify it as a disabled mobility vehicle.

Today, discovered a website that offers a complete kit:

I have posted this link here partly for my own future reference, as the "learn" section on their website is fantastic.
