This is an industrial designed exercise bike from Lithuania that can store 2KWh of electricity generated by your own exercise.

I've been wanting this for years. But maybe not at that price.

As it seems to double as a balcony solar inverter if you add some PV pannels the price seems to be not so bad. A 2KWh LiPO4 battery, charge-controller and inverter alone will cost you at least half of the asking price.

Maybe making a bike for half the price that can just plug into an existing inverter / battery would be more versatile then.

That definitely changed things a bit there.
