      Sure it would add a bit but that’s not a large capacity for ebike propulsion. It’s under 100Whr. The small bike batteries start at 250Whr. Also it won’t be enough to keep the bike running while biking since the peak of the port is 140W and bikes draw about 250 to maintain 25kph.

        Yeah, a quite silly idea but not too far off (100Wh from powerbank vs around 340Wh of the bike - not negligible!) :)

      Well it wouldn’t charge at all i believe, the output of a power bank is usually 5v. Instead your bike will charge your powerbank instead, since it’s a bi-directional port.

        No, today most powerbanks with high wattage use EPR Power Delivery. The one I linked can charge up to 140W and should be able to charge the bike. Voltage is variable, in this case around 28V at 5A.
