In times of energy crisis, telecommuting, and urban sedentary lifestyle, the Polish designer behind Power proposes a comprehensive solution: a stationary bike with a 100W energy generator that allows you to exercise and charge up to four electronic devices.
More than just a fitness device, Power is a domestic resilience tool, designed for urban environments that demand efficiency, aesthetics, and autonomy.
Clean energy from home: pedaling towards self-sufficiency
The system converts physical effort into electricity to deal with power outages or emergencies.
Power operates under a simple principle: transforming mechanical energy into usable electricity. An average user can generate between 50 and 100 watts per hour, enough to power cell phones, LED flashlights, radios, or portable routers. The direct current generator is integrated into the flywheel, optimizing space and performance.
“It’s not just about charging cell phones, but about creating a complete experience of energy self-sufficiency and physical comfort,” explains the designer.
This is the stationary bike that generates energy
Key components and energy safety
The bike includes a USB converter, protection fuse, and charging station with four ports.
The system incorporates:
- Chain drive, robust and easy to maintain
- DC-DC converter to 5V, compatible with USB
- Protection fuse
- Charging station for power banks, which allows storing energy and using it later
This approach allows generating energy without consuming it instantly, a key difference from other similar models.
Ergonomic design and domestic aesthetics
The bike was designed considering various body percentiles, with adjustments for height, distance, and position.
The analog odometer reinforces the perception of progress. 3D prototypes and laser-cut parts were used to refine dimensions, and the materials —wood and metal— were chosen so that Power fits in the home as a functional piece of furniture, moving away from the industrial look of gym equipment.
Technology serving well-being and connectivity
The next step is to integrate Power as an active workstation for telecommuting or remote study.
The proposal evolves into a more connected environment, incorporating supports for laptops, tablets, and smartphones, allowing pedaling to be part of work or study, without sacrificing comfort or connectivity.
This trend responds to a growing need: moving the body while using the mind, breaking the cycle of digital sedentarism.
Low visual impact, high functional impact
Power is a useful, sustainable piece designed for daily life in urban homes.
Its discreet and adjustable design turns exercise into a personalized and aesthetic experience, ideal for small spaces where design matters as much as functionality. Power doesn’t hide: it is showcased as a symbol of autonomy, health, and sustainability.
