So from this I might as well just make a regular E-Bike. Now, would there be any point into making a secondary energy source that uses up the left over momentum, energy from down hill or excess peddling to put some energy back into the battery? The idea being not perpetual motion, but longer lasting? Lastly, which area of physics or engineering would be best to look at to get a better understanding of your explanation? Just looking to learn and experiment. Thanks for being patient and answering my questions and giving a dose of reality PS: Sorry if I come off pompous and or ignorant to the certain knowledge that would point this stuff out to me in the first place. For the questions I've posted, its hard to find the information and answers I'm looking for.

See I thought that would be the case but I still think it will work. I'm not using the bike hub power or my momentum to charge the battery, I'm using my energy only to charge the battery. There is no connection from the sprocket of the wheel/hub to the gear box or alternator. And when i said the alternator connects directly to the bike a meant by wire to power it, no by chain, So technically wouldn't it be the case that as long as I peddle fast enough to charge the battery faster then the hub consumes the energy, be possible? And perpetual motion is something that goes forever and well, Im gonna die eventually. I can't peddle the bike all night and day.

Is is possible to make a bike into a strong enough moving generator to power a battery which powers a hub? The crank you turn the gear labeled 1 Then going through the gear box using ratios, gear 2 would be spinning very fast Because gear 2 is spinning fast it will spin gear 3 fast enough to produce power Since gear 3 is the alternator which is producing power it will charge the battery The battery will power the hub OR the battery can be left behind and the alternator connects directly to the hub. Hopefully the "moving generator" will charge faster then the energy is used. Can anyone find issues with the idea/concept or things that become problematic like laws of physics? I would also like to see if it would be possible to make a set-up where one persons power is enough for two people to ride on the E-Bike. (250-300lbs not including components) And yes I know this is a basic setup and the I would have to add in inverters and whatnot.

The Idea The idea came from this YouTube video. As good as I believe German engineering to be, I really don't want to pay 40k for a bicycle/motorcycle. I've wanted to make my own E-Bike but the batteries take forever to charge and making a weed eater motor cycle is out of the question The visual: Gear Box Gears A1, B1, C1 & D1 are all 7" Gears A2, B2, C2, D2 & D3 are all 3" A1 is the bike peddle and crank D2 & D3 are alternators or converted electric generators A1 and A2 are connected by chain A2 and B1 are attached directly B1 and B2 are connected by chain B2 and C1 are attached directly C1 and C2 are connected by chain C2 and D1 are attached directly D1 and D2 are connected by chain D1 and D3 are connected by chain Info: Two D1's exist so D2 and D3 can be rotated at the same RPMs Due to the gear ratios the ending calculation would be A1 to D2 & D3 would be 1:~150. One turn of A1 would be about 150 turns of D2 and D3 which means 2000 RPMs would be very easy to achieve for one alternator so using two alternators just add more voltage. Question 1: If D2 & D3 take a certain amount of energy to be turn how would you calculate how much energy I would need to push on the cranks to move it. Question 2: What type of alternator to tire hub connection would be possible? As is (using a converter for the electricity) would I be able to make the hub spin faster due to the amount of more energy is created thus meaning, the more I peddle the faster I go. So in a sense peddle assisted e-bike hub. OR, would I have to charge the batteries as I peddle and use a throttle. Question 3: How do you pick out a alternator that will do the job a need to have done? PS: Check the Image for a better idea of the gear box
