DIY Experimental Regen Braking and Pedal Charging eMTBs

Maker Faire Bay Area 2018

May 18th-20th

Exhibit Bicycles

The ebikes you don't have to plug in. Pedal in a stand to recharge and get a workout tracked with a powermeter. Charge any battery from 10-50v. Possibly the first multispeed regenerative braking mid drive ebike. Spawned from a steam engine generator.
