‘re;energy’ by jin sik kim and bo sung seo from korea is one of the shortlisted entries from more than 4000 participants in the ‘iida awards 2010’ competition, organized by designboom in collaboration with incheon metropolitan city.
the bike collects usable energy generated by the pedaling in its front wheel to recharge electrical devices such as a laptop, mp3, cell phone and more.
designers’ own words: ‘nowadays, using a bicycle is in tune with finding recycled energy and preserving the environment. ‘re:energy’ is a type of generator from a bicycle. when it is being pedaled, the rotational energy gets collected in the front where where there is a socket to charge small electrical devices.’

more commentsI want to know the price for this product., please, thank you.
Though it does make sense to say that the battery is quite small and as a commuter who only owns a bike I agree with having the that wheel in the front is impractical, but that’s not the point of this design. Or at least I don’t think so, this is a great idea, ideas like this should constantly be put put there for the world to see, learn from, and develop so the we can slowly better the way we treats our environment.
