Mike Maye'd It: Bike Generator For My House- Part 2! The Power Of YOU!

What is UP Self Mayed Homestead Family!

Rolling blackouts are a real threat this winter, especially where we are in West Virginia. Follow along as I build a bike generator for my HOUSE!

Using an exercise bike that I picked up from "Free Bikes 4 Kidz - Morgantown" I'll have the perfect power plant for my "Self Mayed, Self-Powered" generator, that I'll use for emergency lighting, and powering up essentials in my house!

Part 1 was the project overview of the components needed for the build, along with the fabrication of the motor mount/battery tray assembly!

In Part 2, I wired it up, and installed the system under my basement stairs!

Stay tuned for Part 3, where I build the emergency lighting system for my house!

Be sure to "LIKE" and "SUBSCRIBE" for more build videos, and to see this project through to the end!

Take your POWER BACK!!!

HUGE SHOUT OUT TO Matt @LifeIsForEnjoying for his how-to! My family appreciates your passion! This Bike Generator is ALIVE!!!
