   Actually, the claimed energy efficiency seems to be an issue.

   Doesnt make much sense. 11 a/h inverted to 220v ac wont last very long at all. Why all the fuss using a bike , why not use a solar PV panel, same result ,easier to use, smaller, neater what percentage of the population has a bike anyway?
