Do eBikes charge themselves while pedaling? Do they gain power from resistance in the pedals? This is the most common question we get in the shop. **Transcript** Hey, what's up? This is Mikey at Blue Monkey Bicycles to answer one very important question that we get here in the shop all the time. And that question is: Do the bicycles charge themselves electrically as they're being pedaled? The answer is actually 'no'. That kind of technology does exist on a stationary bike, where the object of the entire system is to stay in one place and get exercise. However, on a bicycle where the point is to get out and see things (even an electric bicycle) it's actually less efficient after all things are considered. Adding resistance to the pedals in order to generate electricity in order to power the battery to power the motor to get the bike moving is actually less efficient than pedals... to move the bike forward in the first place. I hope that answers your question. If you'd like you can check out other questions either through our youtube channel or our website: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFA6jzBUO8o
