Saint-Leu: Soon for solar bike time
Develop an innovative mode of transport with zero overall consumption of electricity. This is the objective of the municipality of Saint-Leu through its “Vélo Laleu Soley” project.
"Such a project will not cause noise or pollution, and will save energy and space," says the municipal authority. The principle is the use of rechargeable electric bikes on sector, associated with a photovoltaic farm, whose production covers the electric consumption of bikes. The town plans to acquire around twenty of these revolutionary electric vehicles and a photovoltaic farm with a power of around 3 KWp, which will be located on the site of the ARER West agency in Saint-Leu . To carry out this project, the community announces a partnership agreement which will be signed with the Regional Energy Agency. Agreement which notably provides for an operating period of three years. The cost of investments for the first year amounts to more than 165 euros. An ex-officio member of ARER, the municipality of Saint-Leusienne has established a sustainable energy policy on its territory. “Concerned about both the development of the welcome and the services offered to tourists”, it thus wishes to set up this innovative and experimental activity of renting solar bikes for the general public, citizens and tourists.
