It depends on how complicated you want to go. Cheap is just a capacitor to smooth out peaks and valleys. But without know more about the quality of the power coming from the generator it is going to be hard to assist. Electric motors are often poor generators as they are tuned for wrong. Adjusting the timing advance of the brushes can help. Then comes the issue of how much current is being produced vs you needs. Because it a few diodes and caps can double your voltage if you are willing to sacrifice the amperage. What PIC are you using that is happy with 1.5 V?
