Solar Electric Touring, Designed for Real-World Riding

The TrikExplor 320E Solar is built for riders who want the comfort of a recumbent trike, the support of an electric drivetrain, and the added independence of solar charging.
It combines mature solar technology with a proven recumbent trike platform, creating a practical solar electric touring trike for riders who enjoy long-distance travel, outdoor exploration, and more flexible daytime riding.
With its 48V/400W solar panel, 500W Bafang mid-drive motor, 48V 20Ah lithium battery, rear air suspension, and ergonomic mesh seat, the 320E Solar is designed to offer comfort, stability, and useful solar support in one complete riding system.
Practical 48V / 400W Solar Charging System

The 320E Solar uses a 48V/400W solar panel with a practical panel size of 228 × 86 cm.
This size gives the trike a balanced combination of solar charging capability and rideability. The panel is large enough to provide useful daytime charging support, while still being manageable for riding, parking, storage, and transport.
The solar panel module is developed for TrikExplor recumbent trikes and uses lightweight aluminum alloy profiles for strength and durability. The panel height has a 15 cm adjustment range, allowing riders to position the solar canopy according to their riding conditions.
For better charging efficiency, the solar panel should face the sun whenever the riding or parking situation allows.
Built on the Proven T320 Recumbent Trike Platform

The 320E Solar is based on the TrikExplor T320 platform. It keeps the compact, stable, and comfortable riding character of the original recumbent trike while adding a solar electric assist system for extended outdoor use.
Three 20-inch wheels help create a compact wheelbase and controlled handling. The medium seat height makes it easier to get on and off the trike and gives the rider a clearer view in traffic.
The relaxed recumbent position helps reduce pressure on the hands, wrists, shoulders, and lower back, making the 320E Solar suitable for long rides, outdoor touring, commuting, and riders who prefer a more comfortable alternative to a traditional upright bicycle.
Bafang 500W Mid-Drive Motor
The 320E Solar is equipped with a Bafang 500W mid-drive motor and a 48V 20Ah lithium battery.
The mid-drive motor delivers assistance through the drivetrain, giving the rider smooth and natural power support when starting, climbing, or riding with luggage. This makes the trike suitable for touring, mixed road conditions, and longer rides where stable power delivery matters.
The 48V 20Ah lithium battery supports daily riding and works together with the solar charging system to reduce dependence on plug-in charging during suitable daylight conditions.
Comfort for Long-Distance Riding
The Ergo mesh seat is designed to provide back support and airflow. Breathable fabric helps improve comfort in warm weather, while the seat base and side support help reduce fatigue on longer journeys.
The rear air suspension can be adjusted to match rider weight, luggage, and road conditions. It helps the 320E Solar stay comfortable and controlled on pavement, country roads, and light trail surfaces.
Good ground clearance also makes the trike suitable for road and trail use, giving riders more flexibility in different outdoor environments.
Stable, Compact, and Adaptable

The optimized cruciform frame and one-piece handlebar provide stable and responsive handling. The compact three-wheel structure gives riders confidence at different speeds while keeping the trike practical for everyday use.
Mounting points make it easier to add touring accessories such as rear-view mirrors, bottle holders, headrest, rear rack, and fenders. This allows the 320E Solar to be configured for commuting, touring, outdoor exploration, or personal mobility use.

What to Expect from Solar Charging



Solar charging is a useful support for daytime riding, but actual charging performance can vary in real-world conditions.
Sunlight intensity, weather, season, road conditions, rider weight, cargo load, riding speed, battery level, and solar panel angle can all affect charging efficiency.
For best performance, the solar panel should face the sun whenever the riding or parking situation allows. In suitable conditions, the solar system can help extend daytime riding and reduce dependence on plug-in charging.
Proven in Real Use



The 320E Solar is not just a concept product. TrikExplor solar recumbent trikes have been used in real riding events, outdoor travel, and long-distance touring scenarios.
These real-world applications help show how a solar electric recumbent trike can support riders beyond short daily trips, especially when comfort, stability, luggage capacity, and daytime charging support all matter.
For touring riders, the solar canopy can provide shade while also supporting daytime charging. With suitable accessories such as racks, bags, mirrors, and lighting, the 320E Solar can be configured for outdoor travel, camping, and extended riding routes.
