Get this: The filing fee for a Certificate of Citizenship is $1,335.

The advantage of a Certificate of Citizenship over a passport is that it does not expire (I believe this is correct).

The passport fee is $130.

It is very difficult to live on Mackinac Island, it is 100% a tourist town. Its like saying Disneyland is the most walkable city in the US.

I wrote the parts used in another post in this thread, but if you have any specific questions, let me know.

It is an Allpowers 200W flexible panel, about 33" x 54"

I started with a trike, and added a cheap direct drive ebike kit (Voilamart), and a Hailong battery 48V 20 aH. Then built a frame out of electrical conduit with Makerpipe connectors. The solar panel mount is made of 1x2 wood epoxied together and lashed with string onto the metal frame. I connected the 36V 200W Allpowers flexible solar panel to an Elejoy MPPT boost charge controller, which outputs 54.2V into the battery. That is the short version.

Looks like a good project.

Not much. I generally ride with the panel in flat top position.

200W solar panel, 48V 20 aH battery. Range is 25 miles on battery with no pedaling, estimated additional 20 miles per day of full sunlight with solar panel, pedaling will increase range. In full sun, the panel charges at about the same rate as the plug in charger, 3 amps.

Wrong. Yoopers are Yoopers, not Sconnies.

Warren, just north of Detroit, part of metro Detroit. I don’t know if it is a real assembly line but it is a big factory.

Michigan has tank assembly lines.

I have a solar bike trailer that I use as a charging station. It has a 200W Allpowers 36V solar panel and an Elejoy boost charge controller. In good sun it puts out over 3 amps to charge my 48V, 20 aH bike battery, which is about the same as my 120V plug in charger does. If you angle it toward the sun you can get 25% to 50% more power than a flat top configuration. I can pull the trailer behind the ebike, but I don’t do that much because it is more fun to ride without a trailer. I would estimate that the 200W solar panel would add 25 miles to a daily ride. My battery does 25 miles, so it could have a 50 mile range in a day, but then you would have an empty battery and would have to charge it the next day. That is with zero pedaling, any pedaling energy would be added to that range. When my bike is charged up, I connect the solar panel to a microinverter (balcony power) and it adds power to my 120VAC house system on the grid, to reduce my electric bill.
