Shenzhen, China - PHOSGO, a clean-tech mobility brand, has officially launched its Go5 Solar E-Bike Series on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. The Go5 Series is designed for camping, long-distance touring, and multi-day outdoor exploration, addressing the main issue of charging limitations for conventional e-bikes during extended trips beyond the grid. This marks the first mass-produced solar-powered electric bicycle series for global consumer markets.
The name PHOSGO combines the Ancient Greek word "Phôs," meaning light, and the English word "Go," representing movement, exploration, and freedom. This reflects the brand's vision of converting sunlight into energy for mobility beyond conventional charging locations.
Key features of the Go5 Series include a proprietary solar panel integrated into the wheel structure, capturing supplemental energy while riding and parked in sunlight. This mobile, solar-assisted energy system aims to reduce charging stops and extend outdoor journeys. PHOSGO Founder & CEO John Wang states, "Outdoor mobility should not be limited by the location of the next wall outlet." The Go5 Series is designed for riders who camp, explore, and travel beyond the grid, providing greater freedom to go farther.
The development of the Go5 Series took nine years, focusing on advanced photovoltaics. PHOSGO achieved three core innovations: Next-Gen Back-Contact (BC) Solar Architecture, Structural Solar Wheel & Conductive Hub Technology, and a Dual-Mode Charging Architecture. These innovations ensure maximum durability and energy conversion on moving wheels.
The Go5 Series comes in two models: Go5 Ultra for demanding terrain and long-distance exploration, and Go5 Pro for weekend camping, day trips, and lighter outdoor exploration. The Ultra model features a 750W motor, a 720Wh battery, and an estimated base range of 90 miles, while the Pro model has a 500W motor, a 480Wh battery, and an estimated base range of 60 miles.
Both models offer solar recovery during multi-day trips under favorable sunlight and defined riding conditions, extending the combined riding distance before the next plug-in charge to approximately 140 and 110 miles, respectively.
The Go5 Series will be available in regional configurations for EU and Australian markets, with specific compliance and regulations taken into account. The bike integrates a full-vehicle CAN bus communication system and smart IoT modules (4G, GPS, Bluetooth) for features such as battery data tracking, location tracking, electronic motor lock, anti-theft alerts, and connected services through the PHOSGO mobile app.
