As our mobile phones get smarter by the day, they also seem to get thirstier and thirstier for battery juice as the development progresses. We usually got music, videos, GPS and various social media apps running because having our faces glued to the screen seems to be the way of life these days. Hell, I’m usually draining my battery as I go for a jog by keeping precise track of my progress via Nike’s Running application along with some tunes for motivation. A while back, we talked about the popular WakaWaka Power which is great because it’s solar powered and provides lots of battery juice for your mobile devices. And today we’ll be talking about another charging system, the Bike Dynamo Charger, which happens to use human power to charge your mobile device. Bike pedaling to be exact.
With the Bike Dynamo Charger, you don’t have to worry about running out of battery power on your mobile device because this system uses a full USB charger which works off the motion of the back wheel. The charger attaches to the back wheel using a simple clamp, and the set includes a handlebar mount to hold your phone. The Bike Dynamo Charger weighs in at only a 180 grams, and outputs standard 5V USB power, and there is also a USB cable provided with a female end which means you’ll need to source your own USB cable to hook up your phone.
The Bike Dynamo Charger starts to function when you reach speeds of 7mph and peak performance when you’re cruising along at speed as high as 18mph. The charger is available in four different colors and will set you back $47.95. I wonder how much weight one would lose if they started using this device just so they could charge their phones? If you don’t ride bikes, then the solar powered chargers are for you.
