solar bike

Hi there

I am the proud owner of an Ecoped e-bike


it goes about 35 kph and takes me just about wherever i want to go
but... what if i want to go just a wee bit farther ? what if i dont want to haul my 48V lead acid battery to my appartment each time to charge it ? so then i saw this
solar trike 095.jpg

SOLAR PANELS... genius!!
well cant i ? since the bike is parked outside all day long.. might as well take in some uv rays and hopefully i can absorb some sunlight while i ride.. or is it bad to consume the battery while its charging ?

im thinking 3 of these panels.. please tell me if they are the correct ones that i need
1 pcs 10W 17V 0.6A Solar Cell Panel Battery W/ Diode on eBay.ca (item 190424319090 end time 31-Jul-10 01:04:32 EDT)
17x3 is 51.. should be enough to reach the battery i hope


feel free to give me some pointers
