A bike headlamp is is powered by a generator that rubs against the wheel. Is the bike harder to petal when the generator is lighting the lamp? Why?
I think it has something to do with conservation of energy. Help explain please.
I don’t think it makes a difference. the radius of the wheel has not been changed, the peddling is still the same based on road conditions and terrain. It’s is the preferred lighting method for cyclists/or pros/amateurs. They certainly don’t want anything to slow them down.
Open the link and maybe there is something I missed.
(The narrow flanges reduce air resistance and the hub has lower drag than the regular SON28.)
