Description
Genercycle is a compact, pedal-powered exerciser equipped with an integrated regenerative battery system that is capable of capturing and storing kinetic energy for later use. This innovative device merges physical fitness with sustainable energy generation, aiming to promote health and environmental consciousness simultaneously. The project explores the intersection of exercise, energy production, and conservation—transforming personal fitness into a practical and rewarding source of renewable energy.

Innovation
Utilizing digital interfaces, Genercycle monitors both the total wattage generated by the user—or an auxiliary power source—and the overall power consumption of connected devices. Then, it estimates the time remaining of battery based on the energy input and output differential, adjusting the battery life percentage accordingly based on any changes. Additionally, Genercycle features an adjustable seat mechanism with integrated handles, which is also fully removable to support alternative seating preferences. This adaptable design accommodates a diverse range of users, enhancing both comfort and convenience.

Product Detail
Genercycle is primarily constructed from aluminum and durable plastics, with panels of glass used for the digital interfaces and leather for the seat cushion.

Specification
The main housing unit of the generator, excluding the leg supports and additional seating, measures approximately 13 inches in width, 33 inches in length, and 18 inches in height. It features a generally monochromatic-metallic color scheme.
