This is an industrial designed exercise bike from Lithuania that can store 2KWh of electricity generated by your own exercise.

A fun toy. But a normal exercise bike already converts the energy to heat. This heat then warms up the apartment.

Of course, with electricity, a heat pump for heating or cooling could be used, which is more efficient. But it's not like the energy remains unused with a normal exercise bike, as long as it is cold outdoors.
