No longer will business folk need to worry about their mobile phone losing charge – so long as they are also cyclists. For Nokia has just launched a phone charging kit that uses a dynamo powered by the bike’s wheels (some of you will remember the dynamo powered lights we all used to use!).

To recharge your phone you’ll need to maintain a speed of 4mph. Charging times will vary according to your speed but it’s claimed that a 10 minute journey at 6mph will produce enough power for 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time.

The phone charger is actually meant for countries where bikes are the most widespread form of transport but will work with any phone that uses a 2mm charger jack.

Nokia is not the first company to produce a dynamo phone charger. Pedal & Power, for example, already has one on the market.
