The energy bike is a device that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. Each revolution of the pedals is a step towards producing clean energy. However, our latest model is more than just an eco-friendly gadget – it is a real attraction, which, when combined with a slow juicer, becomes a hit at every event.

While participants pedal, the energy bike powers the slow juicer, which processes fresh fruit and vegetables into delicious, healthy juices. It is not only a great way to show how renewable energy can be used in practice, but also great fun and an opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Watt – this is a unit of power, i.e. a physical quantity defining the work performed in a unit of time by a physical system.

Watt-hour – this is a unit of energy. It is equivalent to the energy consumed by a system with a power of 1 watt operating continuously for 1 hour.

To understand the capabilities of the EnergoRower set, you can use the following examples.

The difference between watts (unit of power) and watt-hours (unit of energy): if we pedal 1 watt of power, and we pedal for an hour, we will produce 1 watt-hour of energy. If we pedal 100 watts of power, after an hour we will produce 100 watt-hours, i.e.: 100 watts x 1 hour = 100 watt-hours.

An adult is able to generate from 40 to over 350 watts depending on strength and condition. The average user, pedaling a bike, depending on effort, is able to generate from 50 (for a longer period of time, e.g. about an hour) to 200 watts (for a dozen or so seconds). Let's assume that the user generates 100 watts while pedaling. In practice, this means that they would be able to power, while pedaling, e.g. a small TV set that draws 100 watts. The electrical device would only work while pedaling. When pedaling stops, the power supply is interrupted. The EnergoRower set also allows you to store power in the battery (power station). Then, by pedaling for two hours at 100 watts, we will generate and store 200 watt-hours of energy (100 watts x 2 hours = 200 watt-hours). This gives us the ability to power a 200-watt device for 1 hour – which would not be possible for an average person with direct power supply from the EnergoRower without the use of a battery.

The energy produced while riding the EnergoBike can be used in 3 ways:

• used continuously using a voltage conversion station to power electrical devices

The energy can be used continuously, without storing it in the battery - this gives the effect that when someone pedals on the EnergoBike, the connected device works, when someone stops pedaling - the device stops working. For this purpose, a device called the "Voltage conversion station" is used - it is a small box with the dimensions of an A4 sheet of paper and weighs about 3 kg. The station is equipped with 3 types of sockets: for powering devices on 230V AC alternating current (current like in a normal home socket), 12V DC direct current (like in a car cigarette lighter socket) and 5V DC direct current (USB socket). This solution can be used to power relatively small electrical devices: e.g. phone chargers, various types of lighting, a fan, a radio, an mp3 player, a set of speakers, a TV, a blender, a slow juicer - generally speaking, one EnergoRower can power any device with a power of up to approx. 150 watts. It is possible to combine the power generated by several EnergoRowers and directly power a device with a power of up to several thousand watts - a separate module called a power combiner is used for this purpose.

• collected in the power station and used after the workout is finished

The energy can be stored in a portable power station and only then used to power various devices. The effect is that the device connected to the power station works regardless of whether someone is pedaling the EnergoRower or not (of course, until the battery is discharged) - you can simultaneously charge the power station and power any device from it. The energy station is a battery equipped with a special charging system, a converter that converts the 12V DC battery voltage to 230 AC alternating current (such as in a home socket), a 12V DC car cigarette lighter socket, a USB socket and an aesthetic and durable housing. This solution has the advantage that energy can be stored in the energy station for a longer period of time without the need to use it up immediately and thus power devices with greater power. This solution is also very flexible - you can choose the parameters of individual components to suit your needs - a battery with a capacity from 20 Ah to 300 Ah or even more, converters with a power from 200 W to 2000 W and so, the possibility of connecting a larger number of EnergoBikes to one station, various types of housings - manual, on wheels, transparent, etc.

• transmitted continuously to the building's electrical installation using a network inverter

The energy can be transferred directly to the building's electrical installation and thus reduce power consumption. For this purpose, a device called a grid inverter is used - it is connected directly to a regular 230V AC socket in the wall and you can pump electricity from the EnergoBike directly into the building's network. The grid inverter is a very advanced device that synchronizes with the network voltage, has island and overcurrent protection. The advantage of this type of solution is its relatively low cost (about PLN 800 net for 1 inverter with a power of up to 300 watts), simplicity, low weight and elegance. Of course, you can connect a larger number of EnergoBikes in one location, e.g. a fitness club.

The trainer is a structure on which the rear wheel of the bicycle is placed - a type of frame. Thanks to the fact that the rear wheel is slightly above the ground, you can pedal without moving from your place. The trainer offered by us in the set is an Italian branded product with a solid construction, easy to assemble and foldable, so you can easily hide it, for example, under the bed. The offer includes various sizes of trainers adapted to work with bicycles with a wheel diameter of 20 inches (children aged 5 to 8), 24 inches (children aged 7 to 12), 26 inches (youth, shorter adults) or 28 inches.

This is a bike used for stationary training simulating cycling. Spinning bikes have a chain drive system, thanks to which they reflect the feeling of riding a traditional bike and a free flywheel, which will continue to spin when you suddenly stop pedaling, protecting you from injury. Each bike has a vertical and horizontal adjustment of the saddle position. The spinning bike is definitely recommended for people focused on intensive training. The EnergoRower used in the set allows you to produce more energy than traditional bikes on trainers.
