An e-bike battery is a tiny load next to a heat pump or an oven, but in a household where it is the main transport it matters a lot. Rural families use e-bikes for the ride to the bus stop or the school down the road, and some commuters ride them to town instead of driving. When the power is out for days, the bike sits in the garage with a flat battery and someone has to find a lift.
Because e-bike chargers draw so little, they barely register against 15 kW continuous output. The battery and inverter run in UPS mode, so a charger plugged in overnight just keeps going when the grid fails, and the fuel cell keeps the battery topped up from stored hydrogen. There is no need to choose between charging the bikes and running the fridge or the heat pump.
How it works →
Lithium e-bike and scooter batteries deserve care whatever powers them. Charge them on a hard surface, away from exits, with the charger that came with the bike, and not unattended overnight in a bedroom. The system does not change those rules. Its own batteries are LiFePO4, a chemistry chosen for its stability, and the hydrogen store sits outside with leak sensors, automatic shutdown and venting, designed to AS/NZS 60079 and ISO 19880.
No. They are small loads next to the 15 kW continuous output the system is designed for, so several bikes can charge while the rest of the house runs normally during an outage.
No. Round-trip efficiency is 30% or less, so charge on the grid day to day. The system is there for the days the grid is down and the bike is your transport.
It provides steady power without dips, but battery safety rules stay the same: approved charger, hard surface, away from exits and not left unattended in a bedroom overnight. Follow the manufacturer's charging advice for your bike.
