The SunPedal Ride is a movement to create awareness about solar energy and clean transportation among people. The founder of this cause is an IIT Bombay alumnus, Sushil Reddy (Energy Department, 2013 batch).
Feeling the need to empower people with solar energy and encourage them to use more of this abundant renewable energy resource, in the summer of 2016, Reddy, undertook an initiative to talk to people across India about solar energy by touring on a solar powered electric bicycle. With a team comprising Krunal Tailor, Himanshu Singh and Rajendra Bhaskar, they went on a journey across north-west India, passing through 9 states and union territories. They covered 7424 kilometres while interacting with people in the cities, villages and towns on the route. Sushil Reddy earned recognition in the Guinness and Limca Book of World Records for the longest journey on a solar powered electric bicycle. In Sushil’s words, “We plan to take this movement to reach out to as many people as we can and educate people about solar energy and sustainability, which is the need of the hour”
The SunPedal Ride – France edition is in June 2017 and USA West Coast edition in August 2017.
