Hi.
I'm trying to figure out a way to generate and store power using my bike while I travel.
Has anyone heard of a reliable or tried and tested system for doing this?
I like to keep in touch with friends via sms text messaging, but on my last trip I found it difficult to find batteries to charge the phone.
I'm currently looking into the possibility of using a hub generator to charge standard rechargeable batteries, which could then be used to charge the phone, although I would prefer to be able to charge the phone directly (also hopefully my digital camera).
I would be using 2 hub generators, one on the front wheel and one on the trailer wheel.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge of an available system for generating and storing power on a touring cycle I would be very grateful if you would let me know the details.
Cheers.
Rob.
