So this is a story about a crazy idea that, as it turns out, wasn't so crazy after all. Long before Musk and the rise of Tesla, Dr. Ortabasi and a handful of other scientific pioneers had a vision of selling us a future with vehicles utilizing clean energy generated by the sun. The film shows how of he and his team managed to overcome everything from apathy to outright hostility (and broken wheels) in their pursuit of this dream. Too bad they were so far ahead of the curve. We'd be in a much better place today if people had listened back then.

Plot summary
In the early days of solar vehicle racing one of the most unlikely competitors was a Turkish nuclear physicist living in Australia named Ugur Ortabasi. He designed a four-seated solar powered tandem bicycle only a mother could love but in true underdog fashion it would go on to win the 1986 World Championships of Solar Vehicles. The story behind this unlikely victory was anything but sunshine and smooth sailing.
