I appreciate the technical challenge and creativity. But is it really that "green"? The battery, the solar cells, the extra heavy frame, and in a few years when it's out of fashion, all that is trash. Sure, compared to a gasoline driven motorcycle it's maybe better for the environment after enough miles, considering the whole lifecycle. Not by much though.
But if you compare it to a reasonably light "ordinary" bike, driven by muscle power, this is nowhere near "eco". It's heavy, it's expensive, and it's not going to do much good for your health. If you want a vehicle with an engine, leave the pedals out and be honest about it. Otherwise, a classical bicycle is the better fit in many ways.
