This is an industrial designed exercise bike from Lithuania that can store 2KWh of electricity generated by your own exercise.

As it seems to double as a balcony solar inverter if you add some PV pannels the price seems to be not so bad. A 2KWh LiPO4 battery, charge-controller and inverter alone will cost you at least half of the asking price.

Maybe making a bike for half the price that can just plug into an existing inverter / battery would be more versatile then.

That definitely changed things a bit there.
