My first e bike used a bottle battery. I joked about painting the bottle as an Oxygen tank and running a hose to my nose. If anyone asked how I was going so fast, I would claim I turned up the oxygen.
. Now it is not a joke. After a bout with covid exasperating my copd, the oxygen has become necessary. I recently met someone riding a recumbent swb tryke who stopped to talk about adding electric motor to his bike. Several minutes into the conversation, I noticed a hose to his nose. The conversation was cut short because the battery for the oxygen concentrator was getting low.. How well do I know that low battery anxiety.
My pulmonologist just burst my plans. It is not that easy to get the portable concentrator on my health plan. Driving and pedaling using oxygen concentration as limiting factors a necessary part of my rehab program is strongly encouraged. She has heard of recumbent riders strapping O2 bottles on their bike and riding for several hours. Albeit not fast.
. What is your suggestion, experience? To me, I hope this becomes an important thread.
