Yeah, same, I like this idea.

If your actually mobile bike can also be used as a makeshift generator, to feed into a home backup battery?

Yeah maybe not huge levels of appeal there, but it is a neat utility feature.

Maybe I've played too many zombie survival games with base building... or, maybe I am aware of the shockingly shitty state of the US power grid.

Also:

If you have a bike, and battery/powerstation like that?

That leads to a potentially amazingly ironic situation where you effectively jump start a dead ICE car ultimately from a fucking bicycle, if you can hook your battery/transformer/power station thing to charge a portable car battery jump starter.
