The Penguin of Evil on Nostr: Connector standards are one bit but the bikes vary wildly because they use different ...
Connector standards are one bit but the bikes vary wildly because they use different battery arrays - 36v (42v charge) and 48v (50+v charge) both are common.
The connector side is easy - XLR would work, XT60 would work but you'd need to ensure that all the bikes could accept a wide input voltage range or you'd need lose a lot of efficiency. If you just shoved a MPPT input on the bikes with XT60 you'd be able to just plug it into the panels directly *and* plug your own panels in too
