At the CES 2023 event, many different brands announced their breakthrough innovations. Samsung was also among them. At the event, they unveiled a slew of new items. Acer has now introduced the Acer eKinket Bike Desk, a unique and exciting product. Acer’s newly released product enables an active and sustainable lifestyle. The eKinekt BD 3 allows users to exercise while working by utilising kinetic energy generated by the rider’s pedalling to power the machine and charge electronics. Interesting, isn’t it?
The user can just sit at the bike desk and pedal their legs to charge their electronics. This will also allow the user to exercise while remaining focused on their work. This will very certainly ensure that the user is active. The eKinekt transforms kinetic energy into an electric charge when the user pedals. One hour of pedalling at 60 RPM on the bike desk can provide 75 watts of self-generated power. The usable energy is then used to charge laptops and other devices, allowing people to work while remaining active.
The eKinekt’s large desk surface provides adequate working space, and the adjustable table height and seat allow the user to sit in a comfortable position at all times. It also has a bag hook so users can quickly hang their items and a designated beverage holder so they can stay hydrated and minimise spilling while riding on their bike-like desk. The desk comes in two different models; working mode and sports mode.
The work surface slides closer to the chair in Working Mode, allowing riders to sit upright while typing and cycling. In Sports Mode, the desktop moves forward, allowing greater room to lean in, comparable to the position on a regular bike or trainer, for more leg space and pedalling force. The multi-function bike desk has two USB Type-A outlets and one USB Type-C port, enabling for simultaneous charging of several mobile devices. When pedalling, an LED charging indicator on the back of the bike illuminates, indicating that kinetic energy is being converted.
The brand has also introduced companion app compatibility, which provides real-time statistics to check riding length, distance, and speed, as well as the estimated number of calories burned and watts generated when pedalling. Riders can submit personal information such as height, weight, gender, and age on their app profiles to improve tracking accuracy.
Regarding the price, the device is priced at $999, EUR 999 and NTD 29,000. It will be available to purchase in North America and EMEA regions starting June 2023 and in Taiwan starting April 2023. So that was all about the newly introduced Acer eKinket bike desk. This is for sure a great innovation by the brand. Thanks a lot for reading till the end.
