Chinese manufacturer **YongLE Risheng**, specializing in renewable energy vehicles, has unveiled a new electric motorcycle that combines solar and wind power. Named the **YongLE Risheng CG**, this model stands out for its sustainable concept and unconventional design.

Inspired by the classic Honda CG 125 from the 1970s, the electric motorcycle features 250 W solar panels that power a 1500 W motor and a 30 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery. Additionally, a small wind turbine mounted on the structure helps recharge the battery using wind power.

With a full charge via a standard outlet, the motorcycle can achieve a range of up to **120 km** and a top speed of **59 km/h**. However, when relying solely on solar and wind energy, the range drops to approximately **50 km**, according to the manufacturer.

The motorcycle is also equipped with disc brakes on both wheels, a telescopic front suspension, hydraulic rear shock absorbers, and a three-speed transmission. Despite its reinforced structure, including a roof and a turbine, the total weight is only **133 kg**.

The model is already available for purchase in China, though the price has not been disclosed on the company’s official website. It is worth noting that the performance data provided has yet to be verified through independent testing.

In addition to this new motorcycle, YongLE Risheng also produces other unconventional electric vehicles, such as the **YLRS Fengchi160** tricycle, electric boats, and other models focused on sustainable mobility.
