    Slightly different battery question (off topic)

    Also remember that the device that is plugged into the fan and wall is probably drawing in the order of 3 watts all the time! So how much are you really saving after subtracting that?

    Which make of electric bike do you own?

    As far as electric bikes available to the public, I have several Charger Bicycles made by Aerovironment, who I work for. I also have an EV Global that has a bad battery pack. But I ride the Charger everyday to work till now, as I built my own electric cycle. Brad
