I seen a small 4-stroke 2.5HP gas generator that puts out 1000 watts of power (AC with a low amp 12vdc plug) and wondered if it could be converted to use on an electric bike with front/rear electric hubs.
The generator would simply be used instead of batteries to supply the motors with power.
Or the generator could be used along with batteries to recharge them when needed and still be moblie by running off the generator.
I know the thought of a stinky, noisy gas engine on an electric bike is like fingernails on a chalk board to some people but I like the idea myself.
I know it's NOT an original idea by any measure but the small generator I seen looks like it would fit the bill perfectly for an application like that.
