I've been building self-charging mountain ebikes for years. It's been a great way to stay cycling fit and generate power to charge batteries from 12-50v. I charge all my bikes with human power this way year round. Extra energy goes to a micro solar bank for my LED shop lights. Sorry for the shaky camera, trying to pedal and record the power meters.

 
An awesome blast from the past from the Crackmeister/Father of the Heim3 Guide. I'm assuming you've moved on to thru axles so there's no need to remind you to "check your quick release." ;)
 
Haha!! Yes and I long ago converted this bike to solid bolt on 10mm axles. I found that video on an old drive. You still at Fox?

I haven't worked for Fox, but I did shoot that vid in 2001...

Aha, my bad, now it all makes sense... Well good to hear from you and thanks again.
 
Found your project very interesting. In this process, A self-charging bike has also a variation that is charged when you push the brakes. It is possible to charge an electric bicycle while riding it thanks to a USB connection. The USB connection enables the electricity to be transported on its route to the battery when the motor on an e-bike is started by pedaling.
