Healthy Electricity is a new take on the concept of exercise bike-generated electricity. Stationary bikes designed to generate power are nothing new, but they are often big and bulky and not designed to generate personal power. Healthy Electricity has a compact design and is meant to be used to power small appliances and to recharge gadgets.
Healthy Electricity's small and boxy shape makes it perfect for even the most cramped studio apartments. The handles and pedals seem to be TRON inspired with their bright blue-on-black color scheme. The bike contains an outlet to power devices directly along with a docking station for iDevices. Chances are that Healthy Electricity can't power an entire home, but it would be good for negating the energy used by cellphone and laptop chargers.
