Nokia's Bicycle-Powered Phone Charger

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-poweredphone 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.

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".

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.
