You'd be amazed at the sheer effort involved in pedal generation. It has been tried and demonstrated, even on TV, but the return has always been negligible.it would serve as well as a source of electricity to boil water ect.
but not sure whether such solution is possible with bosch electrical solution,
to boil water I need battery only,don't I?Only some direct drive motors have regeneration, but none would boil water using that.

An averagely fit person can produce around 100 watts, so to generate that 90Wh would take almost an hour. That's a lot of work to get a cup of tea! I think I would prefer to boil the water using my solar panels at home and take it on the ride in a flask! Better still stop at a cafe.Yes, but boiling a litre of water from room temperature uses approximately 90Wh of electricity. That is nearly a quarter of your entire battery gone. So you would need to pedal hard for a very long time, and get very hot and sweaty, to replace that energy.
It's all a matter of definition. People are best at producing hot air and getting into hot water.An averagely fit person can produce around 100 watts, so to generate that 90Wh would take almost an hour. That's a lot of work to get a cup of tea! I think I would prefer to boil the water using my solar panels at home and take it on the ride in a flask! Better still stop at a cafe.
I wouldn't be confident of that. My brother was convinced that TV was a thoroughly bad influence and wouldn't allow one in the house when his two children were growing up. They were also forbidden to watch in friends houses, in a rural district so not as difficult to monitor as it might seem.I bet they grew up to let their own kids do exactly as they wanted.
