People ask if you can charge your Rad Power Bike battery with Solar. The answer is yes! If you are touring with your eBike, having a way to charge up is handy. Of course with the 672Wh battery it will take quite a bit of time even with a 100W solar panel.
I checked out three MPPT Solar Boost controllers and several folding solar panels that I had. Here's what I found.

* Genasun GVB-8-WP MPPT Solar controller ( amzn.to/35AAIka )
