Ludik Énergie is a commercial provider of pedal-powered event entertainment 1. Its technical rider for "Vélo Cinéma" pairs adult and child-sized generator bikes and a hand-crank generator with an inflatable screen and a sound system, and includes an energy meter ("compteur énergie") so the audience can watch its own contribution 1.
