The power you generate when pedaling a bike can be used in all sorts of ways, but Nokia is hoping to harness it for something very specific: charging your phone.
The company has introduced a charging kit that attaches to any bicycle and charges as you pedal. Once you reach walking speed — around six kilometers per hour — the juice kicks in. It features three components: a dynamo that attaches to your bike’s wheel to create the power, a charger to transfer it, and a rubberized phone holder that attaches to your handlebars.
Unfortunately, the charger isn’t yet available to cyclists in North America, as it’s only currently for sale in Asia, Europe, and Africa. So pretty much everywhere else.
