iPod charger for your bicycle
« on: July 03, 2010, 05:34:40 pm »
I came across this article while looking for an easy way to charge my iPod/phone while on the road.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen a USB type charger like this available on the market.

Nokia also has their own bicycle charging system for their phones.

I like the Reecharge set up and Lithium Battery from Dahon's UK division Biologic. It works in conjunction with any front dyno hub. I also like Busch Mueller E-Werke

There are various solar chargers (just Google "solar iPod chargers") on the market -- seems like an ideal option. You can plug it in to charge while you are riding and then have it charged when you need it.

I realize this may be too late, but this is what I got for my iphone. It works well for me.

I use a New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 USB battery pack to recharge my smart phone, GPS, and mp3 player.  Works great, fits easily in my handlebar bag, fully recharges devices many times before needing a charge itself.  Allows me to go up to a week without grid power.  Tried solar but couldn't find anything that would work reliably with my phone, and didn't want to go the dyno route.
