ya I cant imagine this bike working well for charing its self. humans dont put out that much wattage. most people cant put out 200 watts for a hour. I love how the back wheel is out of true.

kind of ironic to ride on a stationary bike inside for exercise, then use the power to ride outside without pedaling as much ... when you could just pedal more outside!?!?
i think there was another version of this concept that recharged itself very slowly while riding, essentially saving up a little juice for hills or bursts of speed. i can see a few rare situations where this would be interesting, say a very long road ride with a few extremely challenging steep sections. you ride at a human output of 150w for 3 hours, donating say 10% of the energy to the battery. 45wh. then on a really challenging 30 minute climb you can have 90w of assist, which might make an impossibly steep climb doable.
here's one version of it :

cool that it's all integrated in the rear hub but man that's gotta be a heavy rear wheel.

"Unlimited range" stealth ebike never needs plugging in
If e-bikes tend to look a little ungainly for your tastes, check out this thing from Barcelona's Nua Bikes. With the motor, sensors and battery built into a discreet hub unit, the Nua Electrica is barely distinguishable from a regular fixie, and its innovative "self-charging" mode means you can get…

I did noe ride where I averaged 206 watts for 16 miles I think. My heard rate was around 140 averages. ya a good workout and a hell of a lot more fun then riding that indoor bike.
