I'm in the market for a bike and I've always been drawn to the TW. My question is, can the charging system support heated riding gear? If it can't, is there any way to improve it so that it will? It gets pretty cold in the winter in NE Ohio, and I want to ride/commute all year. During the summer months I won't need the headlight (or the heated gear) during the commute, but the rest of the year I'll have the headlight on in the morning for sure, possibly in the evening. Figure about a 30 min ride one way to work if that matters.



I don't really know how much draw comes from heated gear. Or how much the TW outputs.

After doing a bit of research it looks like heated riding gear is around 150 watts. I think that's more then the TW can handle. What about adding a rechargeable battery to a rack or something and charging it everyday when I got home?
