Hi everyone. I know there are links to products but I was hoping someone would have experience with one of these. I've got a bicycle on a trainer all winter long sitting just a few feet away from my 24V battery bank. Seems a waste not to put a 100 watt hours back in since the wheels are turning anyway.

I'm not interested in DIY kits unless it's everything including the frame.

Cheers
TC

I have seen a lot of people build their own, but I've never seen one ready to use.
