Re: [LUG] OT: Bicycle and electrics help

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies.Â

Firstly to answer sceptics. We are wanting to do this with serious intent. We have contacted this company with a view to getting help:

http://www.pedalcafe.co.uk/what-we-offer

They have said they will come and help us get one bike on the road but it will cost Â1300. As a youth club this is some serious money and I am not sure we can raise it but if that is what it costs we will have a go.

Secondly, the reason we want to do this is to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve and also to talk about healthy living.

Simon, we are serious and would value any input especially towards cost. It would be better to do it properly then not at all.

Thanks

Rich

A windscreen wipe motor off a car might be a better bet (Ac mains motor will be little use)

But it will be hard work generating much electricity. A classic dynamo on a bike only powers a couple of bulbs and slows you down quite a bit.

I will see if I can find how much power a cyclist produces.Â

Hi Guys

Completely off-topic but since most of you are whizz kids, I thought I would ask for some help please?

I'm looking for help in wiring up an electric wheel to a push bike and also generating electricity from a washing motor. The idea is to be able to pedal normally or run an electric wheel to power the four wheel bike (already built). Then to be able to mount it on supports and then pedal and run an old electric motor. Turning this motor makes power and drives a blender or bubble machine.

Thanks

Rich
