Now you can charge your phone just
while you on track with your bicycle. Yes just for you the bicycle lover, Nokia unveiled on Thursday a
bicycle-powered phone charger. The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit, which can be attached to any bicycle, powers up from the pedaling motion of the bike's rider..
A dynamo--the electricity generator--is powered by the front bicycle wheel as a rider pedals and transfers electricity to a charger attached to the handlebar, which a phone plugs into. You can used this charger to power any Nokia phone with a 2mm power jack, according to Nokia. The Nokia bicycle charger comes with a dynamo that attaches to a bike's fork and generates electricity as a rider pedals. According to Nokia, "To begin charging, a cyclist needs to travel around six kilometers per hour (
four miles per hour), and while charging times will vary depending on battery model, a 10-minute journey at 10 kilometers per hour (six miles per hour) produces around 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time. The faster you ride, the more battery life you generate".
The kit comes with
two small brackets, in addition to the charger and generator. One bracket attaches to the bicycle's handlebars to secure the charger and a cell phone holder. The other secures the small electric generator to the bike's fork.
Nokia is the world's largest maker of cell phones and very thinkfull towards green. Nokia said in a statement that its new product will provide "free and environmentally friendly electricity for mobile phones" and will likely be welcomed in areas of the world where bicycles are a transportation staple.
This kit priced you at about
$18, the charging kit is set to be available from Nokia online and Nokia phone retailers by end of this year.
