Nokia bike charger

| |
The Nokia Bicycle Charger accessory is now
available in select markets. It can be bought from
Nokia's online shops and other select retailers;
the Nokia UK online shop is selling it for £25. The accessory uses pedal power to recharge the
battery in your phone. It works by attaching a
dynamo to the wheel that generates power as
you move. Those using the accessory will need
to maintain a speed of at least 4 mph and no
more than 31 mph to provide sufficient energy for effective charging.

Charging times will obviously vary, but Nokia say [PDF, data sheet] that a 10 minute journey will produce enough power for 28 minutes of
talk time or 37 hours of standby time. The
charger will match the efficiency of a standard
charger (AC-3) when the bike is travelling at 12
kph or more.
The kit consists of a Nokia Bicycle Charger
(DC-14), Nokia Phone Holder for Bicycle (CR-124)
and a Bottle Dynamo (also known as a side wall
dynamo). The Nokia Phone Holder for Bicycle
includes a bag that can be used to protect the
phone from dust and humidity. The holder and dynamo can be self-installed using a combination
of cable ties, nuts and bolts. The charger has a 2mm Nokia power jack (as
used in most Nokia devices), but you should be
able to use the Nokia Charger Adaptor (CA-146C) to convert this to microUSB for devices such as
the Nokia N900, N97 and N97 mini. The Nokia Bicycle Charger can be purchased through the Nokia UK online shop for £25 . It is also available in Nokia online stores for Italy , Spain, France, Germany and other countries. Alternatively, the accessory can be purchased
from Mobile Fun and other online retailers.
