DIY solar-powered scooter

If you've been looking for that perfect way to make your scooter look even geekier (and considerably less aerodynamic), let us direct your attention to the latest creation of one Don Dunkee — the DIY solar scooter.  Don says the converted EVT 4000E generates 120 watts/hour in good sun, charging the battery to about half full in 9 hours.  And yes, the panels fold up, so you don't have to worry about only riding in the wide lane on your morning commute.
