Solar BikeRayce USA is an annual, international closed-course "rayce" held in Topeka, Kansas. Teams compete with vehicles that are powered either partially or entirely by solar power. These pedaled and non-pedaled, solar-assisted vehicles are referred to as "Solar Bikes".
The objectives of the event are to stimulate interest in science and technology and to raise awareness of alternative energy sources.
Solar BikeRayce USA is sponsored by the Kansas Corporation Commission, New Resources Group, and the Mid-America Renewable Energy Technology (MARET) Center at Crowder College in Neosho Missouri.
