Last night on #BikeCheck's "Outfitting the Revolution" segment on http://crankmychain.tv we reviewed SpinPOWER from http://www.Bike2Power.com . We are giving it away this week to one lucky viewer who can tell us why they need it the most. So far Toddless from Rhode Island is the front runner.
The SpinPOWER uses a bottle type dynamo or generator that mounts on the front fork and rotates against the tire to power a USB charger for that is attached below the handle bar adjustable phone mount. The SpinPower works with a variety of different types of phones including Andriod and iPhones. It's perfect for the long distance road cyclist who does not have reliable access to AC power or anybody who wants to mount their smart phone to their bicycle handlebars and have it charge. It does not require much speed to start the charge. The DC generator does add some of resistance and weight of course. It can be turned off when not needed and/or removed fairly easily.
