  • @staver76 I know cycling in general is a better alternative but many people get more enthusiastic on exercise when they have something to shoot for.

  • @Shanethefilmmaker I guess, but so is the bicycle itself n.n

    It is possible but the thing is u'd just lose more energy than its worth.

  • @staver76 True but its a great way to encourage excercise.

  • @Shanethefilmmaker Charging by pedaling is unefficient. You'd lose more energy than you gained, as there is no 100% efficient energy conversion.

    There is, however, a rechargable brake - controller which reverses the polarity of the motor to send back current to the battery to charge it, it isn't much though as Force=Mass * Acceleration and the mass is low of a bicycle.Then the Work (Force X displacement* would be low and then Power (Work over Time) would also be low.

  • how does the bike work I understand you can charge it by plugging it in but is it possible to charge the battery by pedaling it?
