i love that you guys spend so much time making these videos, i only hope that you can find a better instructive flow and linear narrative. it’s hard to follow the videos sometimes because of the repeated information or the indirect instructions.

ok, maybe you guys can help me…

what i had in mind was an electric bike motor (most likely mounted to frame) with a battery, and some type of alternator setup to recharge the battery as you go. i know it is possible, it just takes some creativity and innovation…this way you will be able to increase the distance of your trip..also will be able to take/use/charge applicances (laptop, camera)…and if worse comes to worst, you can set the bike up on a stand to just recharge the batteries.

I was thinking about something similar myself, where the pedaling would operate an array of smaller generators. With solar panels somewhere on the bike as well, there may be some way to make it work…. but I’m not an engineer or a machinist, so I’d love to see the Rojas family try to create one!

yeah, neither am i, but lots of innovations come from amateur inventors etc.

not that i would invent it, but its the concept of going against the status quo, or what is conventionally deemed as possible/ impossible.

i know it is possible, for relatively cheap, for there are several existing models and similar prototypes, even here on youtube…

also, i thought about solar panels, but i dont think that would be practical for a motor…possibly some appliances, like a solar wagon i saw here on youtube…but if you have an alternator or somethin, you wouldnt really need solar panels…also what i thought would be a good addition for versatility…is this lol…

also, there are hub generators, but that wont get enough output i dont think, plus it puts increased friction on the tire…and i was talking to a guy who just mounted a wind turbine on top of the front tire…that may be something to explore…still might not get enough output.

you can using 12v or 24 alternator
