Your cell phone has a
dead battery, but you have to leave right now, so you don’t have time to wait
until it’s charged… Now, what can you do?
With the bike-powered
phone charger, the solution is nearby! Whenever you pedal your bike, you tend
to generate energy, which just goes waste. Nokia wants to recycle this energy
for charging your mobile phone. They have introduced a charging kit that
resembles a dynamo attached to the wheel of your bike for generating power as
you pedal. That ‘dynamo’ contains a charger, which transfers the energy to your
cell phone held by a rubber phone holder fixed to your handlebars. The charging
of your cell phone starts as you start biking with a walking speed of 6km/hour
and it charges like an ordinary Nokia charger when you reach a speed of 12
km/hour.
This method of charging
the dead battery of your cell phone is very efficient, reliable and last but
not least: eco-friendly!

I'm glad you agree with me that ‘The Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit’ would be an interesting device for the MTB community.
