Bike brings energy to your cell phone?

• April 19, 2024

Several studies have proven the benefits of riding a bicycle, such as caring for your cardiovascular health, burning calories, maintaining a better posture, reducing stress, and even helping to achieve a good mood, but, did you know that now it helps you carry the battery of your cell phone?

According to the company Kickstarter , a stationary bike can give you enough energy to charge your phone while you burn calories and improve your health.

In New York they have already implemented this technology for free, and some bicycles have been placed at strategic points in the city, but how do you get the energy?

The bicycle has an anatomical design, with a basket for the user to place their belongings, a cellular support with different inputs (USB, 8 or 30 pins) and a dynamo installed on the rim, which is the one that generates the energy to load cell phone.

The signature specifies that the time you pedal on the bike is the percentage of energy that you will provide to your cell phone, that is, if you occupy it for five minutes you will increase the load of your cell phone by 5%. The progress of the load is displayed in a display bar.

You can even download an application to your phone where you can check the instructions for use, locations, as well as the calories you have burned during use.

There are other companies that have taken advantage of the use of the bicycle as power generation, as is the case of Nokia, who has created a cell phone charger for this means of transport. And you, would you get in shape while charging your cell phone or do you prefer electrical power?
