A dynamic balance/electric power generating saddle system of a bicycle is provided. The system includes an outer tube member, a saddle unit, an elastic member and a power generating unit. The outer tube member is mounted to a seat tube of the bicycle, includes a first section at the top thereof and a second section communicating with the first section, wherein a limitation member having a through hole is disposed within the . The saddle unit includes a saddle and a seat post connected to the saddle. The seat post has a sliding section extending from the saddle and a threaded rod extending from the sliding section, and is adapted to be axially movably inserted in the outer tube member. The sliding section is slidably disposed in and unrotatable relative to the first section, and the threaded rod is disposed through the through hole of the limitation member. The elastic member is disposed between the sliding section and the limitation member. The power generating unit is mounted to the outer tube member and has
