Pedal Power Assembly at Head Royce

Shake Your Peace rocks the bike at Head Royce

Dear Shake Your Peace and Rock the Bike,
 
Thank you for the wonderful concert you gave to our US and MS students this afternoon.  The music was first rate on its own, and the sustainability message was such a powerful, positive example of how, with thoughtfulness and creativity, we can imagine new ways to do great things better.  Despite the heat and glaring sun you all gave an energetic, professional, and thoroughly entertaining performance. The kids were enthusiastic about participating by pedaling and everyone enjoyed the great sounds and refreshing smoothies. I was thrilled to hear that you will be bringing this message and the model of talent + teamwork to other schools.  We are grateful for the music and the motivation.
 
Kudos to all of you!
 
Best,
Jennifer

Generators available from Rock The Bike

Mar 23, 2013Posted by in Featured Products, Pedal Powered Stage Gear, Pedal Powered Stage Gear Available Products | Comments Off

Generators available from Rock The  Bike

We sell two types of complete Generator Bikes, and also generator wheels to install on your bike,  in three sizes: 24″, 26″, and 700c. We sell two ratings of wheels: Cargo Strength, or NeverGonnaHitThePavement. If you’re only going to use these as generator wheels, you can get away with a lower-quality spec on the rim and spokes. But if you’re planning to ride to and from gigs, and especially if you’re carrying a load on the wheel, you need our Cargo Strength wheels, rebuilt with downhill mountain biking rims and 12 Gauge spokes.

You can put our generator wheels on any bike. We recommend a bike with a wide size range, low stepover height, and gears.

So what kinds of complete generator bikes do we offer?

Cargo Bike Generators: 

Examples include the Mundo 500 (above) and Xtracycle Generator. Each of these is capable of riding to your events with a load, then converting to generator use. Cargo bike generators can also become electric cargo bikes; though we no longer offer this conversion, we’ll point you in the right direction.
 

Electric Fender Blender Pro:

The widest, most stable generator we sell, and boasting a very wide size range thanks to its innovative bottom bracket design. A single-speed generator, it’s extremely simple to use.

Generator wheels to turn any bike into a generator:

The most affordable way to access our frictionless generator technology. You simply swap the rear wheel of your current bike and throw it on one of our stable trainer stands. Great for custom bikes like El Arbol above, or for low-cost generators. Still extremely quiet and powerful.


Above: Your bike can now be a generator, every bit as powerful and quiet as the ones we use at Rock The Bike events.
 

Special lightweight or higher/lower voltage generators:
We’ll consult with you to find lighter weight options for bike touring or specific application.

 

Want your bike to generate power? Now you can, with a hand-built generator wheel from Rock The Bike.  You can also use it to upgrade your Mundo into an electric bike.

These generators have gearing that is optimized for 24V systems but will function on 12V system. In order to use the power you generate, you’ll also need a Pedal Power Utility Box.

Requires 2-3 weeks to build from time of payment. Please specify desired output connector.

What kind of bike makes a good generator for our generator wheels?

  • Bikes with a wide size range
  • Bikes with good standover height
  • Bikes without rear suspension. Suspension (or “shocks”) makes a bike less stable when it’s mounted on a Stationary Stand.
  • Bikes with a front derailleur and 2-3 chainrings. These have a wider gear ratio, making it easier to find the right gear ratio.

Cost:
700 c – $450 (not suitable for cargo use) or $425 as add-on to Fender Blender Pro purchase.
26″ – $525 (suitable for cargo use)
24″, 20″ – $525 (not suitable for cargo use.

Rentable: Yes

In the Box:

  • Wheel with Generator Hub (in selected size)
  • Rectifier cable with 2′ lead to wheel and 20′ cable for the DC output.
  • 7-speed freewheel with 11-tooth cog for highest voltage range, or 1 speed on Electric Fender Blender Pro
