i like the idea of a generator to charge the neo, but don't like the idea of using my pedal power directly. has anyone seen any regenerative generators that replace the brakes to simultaneously slow down the bike and provide a current for charging? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
