Abstract
A bicycle power supply module is for supplying power to electrical devices on a bicycle. The bicycle power supply module includes a bicycle hub dynamo mounted on a hub of the bicycle for generating an AC power, an AC to DC converting module coupled to the bicycle hub dynamo for converting the AC power generated by the bicycle hub dynamo into a DC power, an energy storage module for storing electrical energy, and a charger coupled to the AC to DC converting module and the energy storage module for receiving the DC power converted by the AC to DC converting module and for charging the energy storage module with the DC power.

A bicycle power supply module for supplying power to electrical devices on a bicycle, the bicycle power supply module comprising:
- a bicycle hub dynamo mounted on a hub of the bicycle for generating an alternating current (AC) power;
- an AC to DC converting module coupled to the bicycle hub dynamo for converting the AC power generated by the bicycle hub dynamo into a direct current (DC) power;
- an energy storage module for storing electrical energy;
- and
- a charger coupled to the AC to DC converting module and the energy storage module for receiving the DC power converted by the AC to DC converting module and for charging the energy storage module with the DC power.
A bicycle comprising:
- a frame;
- a wheel connected to the frame in a rotatable manner, the wheel comprising a hub;
- and
- a bicycle power supply module installed on the frame, the bicycle power supply module comprising:
- a bicycle hub dynamo mounted on the hub for generating an alternating current (AC) power as the wheel rotates;
- an AC to DC converting module coupled to the bicycle hub dynamo for converting the AC power generated by the bicycle hub dynamo into a direct current (DC) power;
- an energy storage module for storing electrical energy;
- and
- a charger coupled to the AC to DC converting module and the energy storage module for receiving the DC power converted by the AC to DC converting module and for charging the energy storage module with the DC power.
