Last week I looked at a neat genre of gadgets that enables you to emergency charge your smartphone by hand. Now you can recharge your smartphone using pedal-power!
This is a great gadget if you bike it to work. Towards the end of your day, your smartphone battery could be on its last legs, so a quick boost with one of these bad boys could mean you have the power you need for some after-work partying.
A dynamo charger is fairly easy to install with a few simple tools. Takes 10 minutes or so and you’re done. A cradle on the handlebars might not fit some sports bikes, so if in doubt, speak to your local bike store and check for compatibility. The cradle in itself is a handy addition as it will securely hold your phone in a visible place whilst you’re on the move. Add a Bluetooth earpiece and you have total connected mobility. I don’t advise watching videos on YouTube whilst you’re navigating the rush-hour traffic though!
Available on Amazon, Ebay and other outlets, these devices attach to your bike and offer a USB port to recharge your bike.

You could even recharge your new Applied MacBook
The new MacBooks can recharge from a battery pack, so you could even use this to recharge your laptop whilst on the move. Rig up a cable from the dynamo into your back-pack, and bingo. I do caution you to be careful of trailing wires: get these caught up in the spokes of your bike and you will be minus one expensive laptop, or even a bike!
