ACER announces eKinekt Bike Desk, a “pedal desk”
Anyone who works with a PC and even likes to stay in shape will enjoy meeting this new device from Acer. On the occasion of CES 2023 the company announced the eKinekt Bike Desk, a “pedal desk”, or rather, an exercise bike with an attached table where you can place your laptop, smartphone and other accessories that you can recharge directly with the energy produced by the your body.
Basically, the mechanism is very simple: the energy produced by your body while pedaling is converted into electricity by the Acer eKinekt Bike Desk to recharge and power your devices (as well as the machine itself). The idea is to serve all those who work in smart working, but also those who want to stay in shape and take advantage of saving a little on their electricity bill.
Acer presented the device at the annual event held in Las Vegas along with many other products, revealing that an hour of pedaling at 60 rpm can generate 75 watts of useful power to recharge laptops, smartphones and any other electronic device. To connect your devices to this desktop exercise bike, there are two USB Type-A ports and one USB-C port, complete with an LED charge indicator on the back that lights up as you pedal, signaling that kinetic energy is actually being converted. into useful energy.
On the design side, this Acer eKinekt Bike Desk instead of a classic bicycle seat comes with a more abundant seat with backrest included. At the front we have a front arm that supports the table, which is adjustable in height to suit anyone. There is also a small LCD screen, also powered by the pedal, which, in combination with the smartphone application, allows you to follow your progress and obtain some information in real time, namely duration, distance, speed and the (estimated) number of calories. burned and watts generated during cycling, among other things.
Therefore, a true jewel from Acer, for remote workers, for cyclists and for those who want to do some healthy movement, using their effort to generate energy to recharge their electronic devices.
