Hello, I have researched about the power generated by a bicycle and would like to know WHAT IS THE MINIMUN POWER REQUIRED of the shredder system? The power that is generated depends on the type of bicycle, an average rider can generate 1/10 hp at 12 mph or 1/4 at 18 mph. In a 10 speed bicycle 1/6 hp can be produces at speed of 10 mph «Pedal Power In Work, Leisure and Transprotation» Only with these data can the engine be replaced or is it necessary to calculate some other measure? This project is going to be implemented in a community which does not have the electricity resources, for that reason i need ideas to use this system with a bicycle Thanks a lot.
