Our pedal powered phone charging station is a great way to get people on board at events by providing a genuinely useful service and empowering people to generate their own energy. Many people can’t bear the thought of being disconnected from their friends and these days a flat battery on your phone is the worst thing that can happen. At a music festivals the need to hook up with friends is ever more pressing but a power source to charge the phone is the one thing most campers don’t have.
There’s a unique opportunity to positively engage people with what’s possible with pedal power. People enjoy the practicality but also get involved in the communal aspect of being part of a team of pedalers with a shared goal. Wherever possible we use the excess energy to power a small portable record player sound system to keep people entertained. There’s nothing better than listening to some classic vinyl while pedaling.
We’ve run this mobile charging station for a number of charities including Friends of the Earth and Mind at various festivals around the country. The bigger the festival, the more concerned people are to stay connected. It’s a great platform to engage people with your organisation and provide them with a lasting positive experience in exchange for a little bit of their time.
Please get in touch if you’re interested in having the people powered phone charging in your local community or at an event.
