I personally, knowing a lot about electricty (through engineering studies) find this account to be extremely unlikely and suspect that there must be another explanation, futher tests need to be done to prove anything conclusivly. Either way, it surely isn't the bike manufacturer's fault.
I know the basics about electricity and magnetism also.
What makes this a funny story is trying to figure out what could be happening. Also nobody was trying to claim it was the fault of the manufacturer. I just thought it was a funny story that everyone would enjoy. I do believe this guy but just can't imagine what is causing the problem.
khoun, I also think it has to be induction but I am not sure why it would affect just him and not the other riders. What is so different about his bike. I will have to get out my college physics book and try and figure this out.
