Could this be used to charge an ebike battery.

If you have 6 monkeys pedaling home trainers with that fitted? Yes.

There you have two opposite points of view, one realistic, one not, you get to choose the one you like the most.

Do the monkeys have typewriters or is that an infinately more Shakespearean question?

Hi, I hope all is well.

I was wondering if this could be used to charge an ebike battery.

Thanks
Yes, but you'd need to pedal for two hundred hours to charge the battery.

The idea of an electric bike is to use electricity from a battery to help you to pedal your bike. Why would you want to pedal harder and longer to charge a battery, when it would be easier and cheaper to use non-electric bike.

One of them is a gorilla and he is pedaling twice as hard as the others so maybe I should have said "apes"? So in any case as they have to pedal constantly for 5 to 6 hours you will need lots of low hanging fruit to keep them going. That might cost a bit more than the electricity you would use from the wall plug when charging your battery with a charger...

A typical e-bike charger (mine) has an output of 42V /60W. This is 6V/3W - so is underpowered.
