Charlie, sounds like a fun project for your daughter and school.
Does the design team have an optimal weight for their vehilce? The Pulse is a bit on the heavy side to be powered by solar. I'd guess the frame and full body alone at 300 to 400lbs.
Has anyone every had the chance to weight one of these when it wasn't setup with a donor bike.
There is another school on this forum that was thinking of a similar Pulse-like design, but were using a light weight frame and body. Wonder if it's the same competition.
Best of luck on the project.
