Hello all and thanks for a great site.
I run Gotwind.org the renewable energy resource + a forum not too disimilar to this in the U.K.
I am hunting for a bicycle hub motor, hopefully secondhand for a pedal generator project. They appear quite expensive for experimenting with.
Any advice on outputs for such a purpose would be appreciated
For my purposes the motor does not require to be mounted in a wheel, it can even be damaged, as long as the motor (generator) works.
I intend rectifying the 3 phase output to DC and charge a 12v battery.
What it requires to be:
A rear wheel preferably with a multi-sprocket attached.
36 or 48 volts?
Non geared type i.e direct drive, these are usually larger in diameter and slimmer than the internally geared models, as I'm sure you are all aware.
Paypal money waiting for sensible offers.
I'm UK based.
Thankyou, and good luck with the forum.
Ben.
