Is this what they call FAFO?

Looks like a 100W panel, which couldn’t generate enough power to propel a light-weight bicycle, let alone a moped with a battery. It might be enough to offset the weight and drag it adds, but that’s only when it’s in direct sunlight.

I am saying the author is contradicting themselves, but I wasn’t trying to draw attention to the dual meaning of the word “joke.”
