    That’s interesting. I wonder what the battery voltage is? Since most ebikes are up in the 36-48V range and USB-C maxes out at 20V, they’d presumably need to do some step up transforming in there?

    That’s cool that the connector is bidirectional for charging portable electronics off your bike. I discovered my bike has a stealth USB-A output hidden behind a rubberized cover under the instrument panel. I didn’t even know it was there for like a year, but it’s awesome!

        Oh wow I hadn’t realized that!

        I checked on their web site. They say it can handle up to 140W for a 3-hour charge, which I assume means 28Vx5A. The minimum is 30W (20Vx1.5A).
