Have you guys ever thought about selling a solar recharger for the boards, or is that completely impractical (like, it would take all day or something)?

I ask because a board like this would be pretty neat for long boarding long distance like my brother and me have planned this summer (riding from Miami to Key West), where you might want to just rest while the board does the work for a few miles, every once in a while. If it could solar charge while manually riding in a matter of 90 min or something, that would be pretty epic.

I think that would be pretty tough given how large the solar panel would need to be (~100 watts to charge the 99 watt-hour battery in 90 minutes), and the need to keep it oriented towards the sun.
