Electric bicycle self-recharging system

A method of self-recharging an electric bicycle comprising the steps of:

• (A) providing an electric bicycle, a permanent magnet generator, and electric bicycle battery, a secondary battery, a power inverter, and a controller;
• (B) providing a plurality of modes of operation for the electric bicycle;
• (C) attaching the permanent magnet generator to a corresponding wheel of the electric bicycle, wherein the permanent magnet generator is rotatably connected to the corresponding wheel;
• (D) generating alternating current (AC) electricity by the permanent magnet generator based on the rotation of the corresponding wheel;
• (E) charging the secondary battery with the generated AC electricity, wherein the secondary battery is electrically connected to the permanent magnet generator and the power inverter;
• (F) converting AC electricity generated by the permanent magnet generator into DC (direct current) electricity by the power inverter;
• (G) prompting a user of the electric bicycle to select a corresponding mode of operation with the controller, wherein the corresponding mode of operation is from the plurality of modes of operation;
• (H) charging the electric bicycle battery with the DC electricity while the electric bicycle is in motion, if the user has selected a charging mode as the corresponding mode of operation;
• (I) deactivating the power inverter by the controller and charging the secondary battery with the generated AC electricity while the electric bicycle is in motion, if the user has selected a battery charging mode as the corresponding mode of operation;
• and
• (J) activating the power inverter by the controller to allow the electric bicycle battery to be charged while the electric bicycle is not in motion, if the user has selected a standalone mode, as the corresponding mode of operation.
