This video covers the 24 hours before our first truly serious shakedown test ride of the Suntrip vehicle. Justin had made arrangements to visit his family in Sooke for the weekend and decided to make the ~130km trek out there by Solar Trike. Our plan was to catch a 9am ferry which would require leaving Grin very early in the morning.

We get the rolling roof mechanism linked up for the first time, the dual hub motors installed and tuned with Phasrunner controllers, welded mounts for LiGo batteries, and an updated drivertrain with a Rohlhoff hub and 96 engagement freewheel.

We totally missed our ferry target but still set off in the afternoon for the first full long distance test ride; powered by rowing, pedaling, and solar motor assist.
