Post by: Slammin Sammy on January 24, 2015, 04:51:15 PM

Seen this?

Intriguing - use as a secondary use charger for multiple devices?

I've enquires whether it's compatible with a Rohloff (specifically Nomad w/ rim brakes). Awaiting response.

Then you could plug in your electric guitar, and power yourself down the road.

Ingenious, Dave!  ;D
