Announcement novelty, status available (Update 08.03.2021)
The UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE from VELOGICAL is the pioneering system component for comprehensive on-board power supply on bicycles. For bike packers, commuters, randonneurs, cycling marathons, Brevet/Audax, and transcontinental racers.
Discover the maximum of innovative on-board power supply for bicycles in miniaturised design. The advantages of a USB charger and generator-fed LED lighting technology are combined in one device and centrally controlled - versatile, powerful, simple.
This electronic component works particularly powerful in conjunction with the VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR or a classic hub dynamo (6V/3W).
The device combination enables a power supply with single-cell battery buffering.
- for USB devices
- for LED bicycle lighting (incl. daytime running light and parking light) at full brightness.
The electronics of the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE works unusually efficient not only at low speed, but is also particularly voltage resistant at very high speeds up to 100kph. All suitable consumers connected to it are electrically protected.
The VELOGICAL UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE always operates in the optimum range regardless of speed. To this end, it uses two technologies that are new to bicycle technology.
- Maximum Power Point Tracking/MPPT
- Active rectifier for minimum power loss in the low speed range
The power of the miniaturised VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR with 3 current-carrying cables outstrips conventional AC dynamos with 2 cables and excels in extremely smooth running.
USB devices (e.g. smartphones) can be charged or recharged in realistic time with the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE. For the first time, LED bicycle lights of the dynamo type (alternating current/AC) and of the e-bike type (direct current/DC) can be connected plug & play to the electronic module via the cable connections for the respective lamp type. Coupling between the used generator type and the connected consumers is automatic.
Operating this versatile device combination is very simple. Select connection, connect, and you`re done, while the technology operates in the background. The UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE is so compact that it might be mounted even in the head tube of the bicycle. A standard in the entire automotive industry since the 1970s, 3-phase current technology has now been introduced in the bicycle sector for the first time.
The VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR and the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE do not require a German K-number or StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulation) approval.

on trickle charge. When the charger is put into operation (rotor
rotation), it wakes up and signals 2 of 5 beeps, i. e., 1 tone per
20% charge volume. After 5 minutes, the charger switches off with 1
beep and with it the parking light of the e-bike lighting. With the
buffering battery empty and the light switched on, the light supply
from the generator shall have priority over the charger
operation.

Seizing
the Initiative - The Story of an
innovation
In the course of researching the product it became clear that the famous French constructeurs (such as Herse, Singer, Daudon) had already investigated rim dynamos in the early 1950s on their touring bikes, using various types of drive wheel. In 1980s, mountain bikers also investigated this system, because of the rough profile of off-road tyres and because heavy battery lights would not stay secure on the handlebars for long, especially over rough terrain. For battery lights, the mounting was the Achilles' heel.
Overall, these earlier experiments with rim dynamos did not perform as well as was desired, because the fundamental problem of frictional resistance at high riding speeds had not been solved. To resolve this problem (high speed drag), simply moving the contact point from the tyre to the rim is not sufficient. Only a complete revision of the side-runner principle can achieve this, as demonstrated by the product shown here.
