# E-Bike Solar Battery Packs The Kvaern+ Takes Inspiration from the Tesla Powerbank By Justin Lam | Published 2018-10-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kvaern References: [bike-eu](https://www.bike-eu.com/sales-trends/nieuws/2018/06/danish-startup-kvaern-presents-tesla-inspired-e-bike-solar-charging-10133879) & [kvaern](http://kvaern.com/) With [e-bikes rising in popularity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muon-elon) around the world, Danish-based startup Kvaern is hoping to offer an alternative eco-friendly charging pack known as the Kvaern+. Designed as a stationary battery pack, the Kvaern+ relies solely on solar power generated during the day. The efficiency of the battery pack allows the riders to fully charge their e-bike and offers the possibility of riding 100% on solar energy. Much like [Tesla's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike) [Powerwall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-smartthings-energy), the Kvaern+ is being marketed as a "cool" and innovative solution to power e-bikes. The battery pack is currently focused more on personal use, but much like the Tesla Powerwall, Kvaern is hoping their pack will be implemented into larger installations at public spaces.
