The e-bikes will not only provide transportation to street food vendors, but also [storage and even electric power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-efold-long-john). The bikes feature a built-in photovoltaic sheet panel mounted on the roof that allows for the bike, and several electronics, to be recharged via [solar power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birds-eye-shipping-trucks). This allows vendors of popular street foods such as frozen desserts, cooked hot dogs, hot or iced coffees, beers, and more, to ensure their inventory is kept at a safe temperature without having to worry about finding an external power source. At launch, the SmartEbikes will be made-to-order, though mass-market adaptation and mass production are possibilities if the initial response to the bikes is positive.
