His name is eKinekt Bike Desk 3, It was introduced at CES this year and it comes to provide you with the function of using your laptop without connecting it anywhere. No matter if the light goes out, you will always have a battery for your devices.
How it works?
Its operation is very simple, thanks to the kinetic energy that we provide when pedaling, it will move an alternator that will convert it into electrical energy that will go directly to our laptop. But not only him, but we can recharge a mobile or even a coffee maker. Anything that can be connected with a USB or C port. Since it would bring 2 from the first and 1 from the second.
The invention is designed so that one can work on a stand-alone desk. Connect an LED lamp, charge our headphones, etc. Everything necessary to be able to carry out our work without the need for electricity. So if there is a power outage, we will be safe.
Now your turn. The speed at which you pedal will be the energy you produce. Acer tells us it’s rated for around 60 rpm, which would equate to generate 75 constant watts. A laptop as a general rule, unless you squeeze it, won’t exceed 50 watts, and a mobile for example around 5, so you can get an idea that if you pedal well you won’t even need do it all the time generate enough energy from a day’s work
Moreover, it is customizable., both in height, in inclination, in the saddle, in pedals, bringing the desk closer to our body, etc. So you can be very comfortable in it. It has two modes of use, both suitable for table use and if one just wants to exercise without further ado. The rest can be moved so much that it does not bother us and we can even pedal comfortably.
A point in favor apart from clean energy is exercise, because sometimes we don’t have time for physical activity. Well now you will have no more excuses, you will be able to ride a stationary bike for an hour without leaving your office. 2×1. What else do you want?
It has its own app that will tell you how much energy you have generated, exercise minutes, calories, distance and other data, as if it were a normal exercise bike of a gymnasium. Something that can motivate us to exercise, even if we don’t want to generate energy.
Its introductory price is 999$ and it should be available from next month (June 2023). That’s not a bad price considering the rise of exercise bikes since the pandemic. Also, if we can save some light, that’s not so bad. We can always punish the child and send him on a bike ride.
