Someone has been spending too much time on ChatGPT.

Do most e-bikes not charge from the pedals? Combine that with regenerative coasting/braking, and this isn't really that dumb. Like yeah, obviously thermodynamics, but an E-bike with pedal charging isn't a closed system.

I've built two eBikes and can confirm that they do not.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aw man, Lemmy finally got a LinkedInLunatics instance? How long has this been here? That was like the last thread I've been hanging onto with reddit. Finally, this place feels like a genuine alternative 🎉

Welcome to the fediverse's LinkedInLunatics, my friend!

The community (which isn't an instance!) has been there for a couple of years already: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27701

If you haven't come across it before there is the Lemmy Explorer tool (with options for Piefed and Mbin as well): https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I don't claim to be an engineering student, why is this a bad idea? Wouldn't he just put a "collector" of energy (like a wind turbine) on the wheels?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe you can join his team!

But I can forgive a non engineering student… its impossible.

It could be an OK idea that just wasn't explained right. Maybe he just wants regen braking but with one wheel for charging and the other wheel + separate battery for power at any given time. Energy would come from pedalling and hills. None of that was explained though
