I tried to do some maths once, seeing how much charge, i could get from 4-6 dynamo hubs (2 on bike, 2 or 4 on a trailer), and the same number of bottle dynamos on the wheels, and the feed the power into the same battery as a trailer mounted solar panel, and you may get enough to recharge a electric bicycle's batteries, on the move. Should be workable, if your only using the motors as a top-up to your own peddling.

Doesn't sound like it would do too much towards charging a power chair battery then but it would probably be a non-starter for me anyway - I never did get the hang of electrics and there are too many more important things that need my time and effort!!

Still, it's a nice dream...
