Hi Kurt.
Trying to beat these mad U.K fuel prices.
working on a self sufficient bicycle - not easy.
Im buying lots of gear off eBay to try and find a solution.
Will be publishing my ideas in the next few days.

Gotwind,

What voltage do you bring your 7ah when charging with your wind generator?

Hi EdC.
From a fully charged 85 Ah battery from my wind generator, I run the power through a 1.5 amp controller, delivering 14.1 volts to the 7Ah battery.

Thanks
Ben

Thanks Ben,

I like the looks of the bike, trying to come up with somthing similar myself using a dc motor. I havent decided whether a friction drive or chain drive would be better at this point in time.

Its all fun though, would be nice to "motor" around town with.

Thanks again,
