During a conversation a friend and I made a joke that was along the lines of "at least you're not powering it using an orange or a potato" while discussing the power supply for his electric bike.
Now I'm wondering...would it actually be possible to power an electric bike using potato batteries? According to wikipedia it's possible to get about 1.3 volts from a potato, however I think the internal resistance would be too high in order to drive something like the bike. Unless you put a ton of them in parallel...
