Dahon BioLogic FreeCharge – Bicycle-Powered Charging Gadget

Dahon has announced the BioLogic FreeCharge, which is a bicycle charging kit that connects to any dynamo hub on the market, allowing you to charge your iPod, iPhone, mobile phone, and other portable gadgets. The BioLogic FreeCharge uses the energy generated by the bike’s dynamo to charge an internal high-capacity battery. That in turn can be used to charge any USB-charged or powered gadgets.

Since the BioLogic FreeCharge has an internal battery, it avoids the variable voltage from the dynamo from damaging your gadgets. The charger will charge an iPhone in about 3 hours, so the charger is most suited if you do long commutes and long bike rides. It’s not going to be much use to you for the odd 30-minute ride. If you use your iPhone for GPS navigation, and onboard iPhone charger would be particularly useful to cyclists.

The BioLogic FreeCharge is now available for $53.99 with free shipping.
