This might be a silly question but why is there not a system like my lights dynamo to recharge battery as you cycle along or would it just increase the cost to much

If you pay a fortune then regenerative braking is available on very high end models. I think the jury is out as to whether there is any great benefit.This might be a silly question but why is there not a system like my lights dynamo to recharge battery as you cycle along or would it just increase the cost to much

The simple way of putting it is you don't get energy for nothing.
Or you get out what you put in sort of thing.
So the energy cancels itself out.

But it uses a hell of a lot of petrol.
Only regenerative braking would make sense. Otherwise, your legs will be putting in power to the batteries as well as the wheels, so harder work, AND, the process of converting leg energy to battery energy is not efficient, so even more work required. As far as I'm aware, there are no "bolt-on" regenerative systems available (if there are, I would love to hear about them )

125 miles? That must include a lot of pedal power!My bike battery does 125 miles on a full charge.
Khalkoff's figures not mine, With 50 high-performance cells and a capacity of 17 Ah, under ideal conditions power reserves give a range of up to 125 miles (200 km).125 miles? That must include a lot of pedal power!
