Ron Scott:
What's the state of art in power generation for phones, GPS', tablets, etc.? On bikes driven big miles.

I'm feeln' like a dinosaur here...

nomad:
I still haven't even been able to figure out if there's a speedometer that is powered by the magnet on the wheel passing the sensor instead of requiring a battery.

geegee:
Tout Terrain makes a really cool USB power system:




It looks like they offer an extra power pack boost, so I imagine adding a solar charger to recharge those batteries is somehow possible

Joe B:
While not solar based, I have posted about the power solution I built and use previously. Searching the forum should yield mine and others discussions on this. Details on my system can be found here...

Selling something?  I assume you mean "pedal".   Anyway, generator hubs have been around for many decades and could be set up to power rechargers as well as their usual use for lights.
