The PedalPowerr+ system can help recharge the arsenal of battery-powered accessories modern cyclists' rely on for communications, navigation and entertainment - on the fly. Devices like GPS units, mobile phones, digital cameras, MP3 players and mobile phones require 5V up to 600mA, DC input to recharge them. The power generated by an AC dynamo(uses either a bottle dynamo (pictured above) or a hub dynamo), and turns it into a safe DC source where the current is regulated and the voltage is consistent enough for electronic devices to be recharged..
"Today's riders have a far greater need for portable energy than pervious generations who simply used dynamos for lighting. In addtion to this tradtional use, riders need a source of energy to recharge GPS, mobile phones, MP3, iPod and iPhone to name but a few The PedalPower+ system does it all". said PedalPower+ managing director and the product¡¯s inventor, Nicholas Kidd.
