If you carry a couple of extra battery packs you might make it from San Felipe to Gonzaga Bay. Maybe pull a trailer with a solar recharging system.
Interesting none the less.

Cover your helmet and riding clothes with the flexible solar panel material and re-charge all the time you're riding.

I actually test road one of those at the Rob Machado surf classic in Cardiff, amazing at how much torque it had and how well balanced it is.

I like the concept, they just need to get the price down a bit.

Perhaps if they made quads like that they wouldn't be so unwelcome on the beach.

Perhaps if it could go more than 40 miles at a time it might be worth something.

The first FIM International Ride Green Eco Enduro 2009 was held in Denmark, December 11-13, where more than 30 riders competed in the three-day enduro
entirely made up of electric-powered motorcycles.
Invited riders, such as five-time World Motocross Champion Joel Smets, and French off-road star Fabian Planet, participated and were provided with
modified Swiss-made Quantya Track Evo 1 electric motorcycles, supplied by the Danish Quantya importer, to ride.
The organizers of the event said, "The purpose and idea of the race is to show the world that mechanical sports can be environmentally responsible and
is prepared to seek new ways and innovative solutions to reduce the sport's negative impact on the world's climate."
It was no coincident that the enduro was held at the same time as the United Nations Climate Change Conference in nearby Copenhagen.
The first two days of the competition feature a traditional FIM enduro format, while the third day was a Super Motard/MX-style race held in the center
of Copenhagen.
Planet ended up winning the event.
