Multimedia-Show "Solatrike"

A journey by bicycle is an adventure in itself but equipping it with an electric motor and using the sun as a source of energy by means of solar modules is an additional task. The fact that it does not succeed at the first attempt does not seem surprising. Swiss-born globetrotter David Brandenberger has taken on this task and is on the road with his so-called Solatrike. He has had a solar-powered electric-assisted recumbent trike built for himself and cycled with it from the Czech Republic to New Zealand - 40'000 km with a lot of trust and guidance from God. This show is about the first leg 15’000 km to Kyrgyzstan.

The experienced traveller, who has already travelled all continents, chose an environmentally friendly means of transport for this trip, in which he can carry heaps of luggage. A nice side effect of this unique trike is to arouse the interest of the population for solar energy.

In professional photos he tells about the ups and downs of a cyclist's life, why he trained as a dog sled guide in between and how to find a new wheel axle in the middle of the desert. In addition to the highlights he also experienced wonderful encounters with the people and landscapes along the Silk Road. The adventurer not only knows how to present new points of view photographically, he also captures scenes in his very special way as a sketch and underlines the atmosphere in specially written songs including additional live music and of course live commentary.

This Multimedia presentation is the enhanced continuation of his highly acclaimed presentation of "South America and Antarctica" and raises expectations for further episodes of this crazy solar bike trip. Because it will go on as long as it can. Always following the motto: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."

Admission is free, a donation is collected for the charity "Horyzon.ch/en/", which is very close to David Brandenberger's heart.
