John,
The topic I was referring to was a human powered generator on a bike. A
list of eBike enthusiasts may have already discussed direct vs.
indirect. A list that focuses on dc generators/power generation could
more likely answer the efficiency question definitively. It was meant
as a helpful suggestion of where else to ask the question. They may
even be able to suggest a specific model of generator motor that works
well for pedal power. Like before, I hope that helps.

Oh yeah Seth, if it works, and I don't get divorced and I dont fall on
my head off the dirt bike, and my house doesn't burn down, I'll build
a MC version without human power, and if that works, I suspect I will
be very tempted to build a fast one with great big fat sticky tires
and take it to the track. maybe.

John,
First off, this topic is probably more appropriate for an electric
bicycle or dc generator list/forum.
