Kitje Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Needs to have gears to increase productivity power.

Etern4l Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Brilliant, all we need is an extended family edition - a couple of people pedalling hard in concert should be able to power a high-end rig. But more seriously, in this day and age it's not such a bad idea to generate power from exercise bikes etc. 1 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are."

Reciever Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I use my stationary bike with a desktop surface instead of handle bars and stream to the laptop from my main pc. Perfect for ace combat or really any offline title. Ups the ante for the last mission when you have to fly underground while pedaling. Obviously fps is out but there are many genres. 2 1 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishayin Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 I came across a nice guide on how to build your own household bicycle generator: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/03/how-to-build-bike-generator.html There are also a lot of other cool DIY projects worth a look on that website. And better still, if you click on the icon at top right you learn that even the website itself runs on a fully solar powered server: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/power.html So if the website is unavailable, you can reasonably guess that the weather has been cloudy of late in Barcelona There is also a lot of interesting info on that page. E.g. their up time plummeted after they upgraded to a new Linux kernel which increased the average power usage of the server by 0.3 Watts (from 1.2 to 1.5 W). ...And solar panels are bloody expensive too; guess I'm just gonna have to start pedalling faster! 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojack Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The bio hybrid (the one I would buy) is gone bankrupt already. Back to the RAD wagen and rocky mountain instinct e bikes for me. I finally blew my knee out for good, waiting to get x rays now so I am thinking the pedal assist will be my life from now on! The rad wagon for everyday riding and commuting.

Etern4l Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Don't need to justify getting an ebike in most places in Canada except inner cities, or during Tour de France prep, I imagine. Vast distances. Does the European 250W power limit also apply? "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are."

kojack Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I have no Idea. I know that the rocky mountain has the most powerful 48v system in any e assistance bike. The rad wagon gets 40kms or more to a single charge and using the almost max position for power assist. makes a big difference to an old guy like me.
