This is why I only buy direct drive generators, if I need a little power then I use a pure sine inverter connected to a battery.

Now that I finally tried and succeeded in making it to the next town and charging station (65 miles away 6,000ft up one way and 4,000ft down the other way) I'm starting to lean away from the idea of lugging around a generator. The problem I had was in order to make it I had to at one point limit my speed to 40mph or less for that 65 miles uphill. I see where aeromods would really help. If I could get the Cd down to the same as the Aerocivic I do believe I could go the same distance but at 55 or even 60mph instead of 40mph.
