You also need a big enough battery to get through slow hours.

So you can get the Zero-emissions Off-the-grid gym!

    Might be difficult.

    Bicycle riders make 30-70 watts from memory. That’ll run a few LED lights, but if you want the fridge you need five cyclists, and for the aircon about 30 to 50 I think.

      If they generate that much just from their memories, imagine how much they must generate when they pedal the bikes!

        Hehe. Good one.

        Actually I think the brain uses 30 watts so you’re not far off :)

        I really should check my sources! Slacker me.

      70 W is very casual riding, like 15 km/h or so. Anyone actually training (20-25 km/h or simulating anything with hills) will be more in the 100-150 W range. My fridge uses 70 W as an example, and only when actively running, with a duty cycle of 40% or so. Obviously this isn’t an industrial fridge or freezer.
