Made out of 100% reused and recycled materials and old bike parts, we have created a bike trailer with a 'sleep-in' pop-up tent, and solar panels to charge two hub wheel motors (with regenerative braking) and electronic devices. We plan to use this invention along with a tandem recumbent tricycle to tour around the United States to film a documentary about sustainable communities.
