Cycle2Charge V3
Meanwhile we are used to navigate with our smartphone or GPS system while cycling. Unfortunately the capacitiy of the accumulator is just too often the limiting factor to enjoy the electronic comfort throughout the journey.
Here Cycle2Charge comes into the game. The charger converts the energy of the hub dynamo and makes it easy accessible through a standard USB-port near the handle bar - a secure source of energy even in the middle of nowhere.
No matter if you want to charge your GPS system, mobile phone or MP3 player: Cycle2Charge offers a maximum of energy already at low speeds but also protects the connected devices at high speeds from overvoltages.
As the Cycle2Charge is integrated in the Ahead headset no valueable space of the handlebar gets lost. Cycle2Charge is small, good looking and a smart turning cap protects the electronic from water and dust when the energy not needed.
The assembly is a piece of cake. Cable, screw, tie-wraps and a detailed mounting instruction are part of the delivery contents.
Technical details
-
Converts the energy of your hub dynamo in 5V USB voltage.
Maximum charge current: 1000mA -

Power comparison
The Cycle2Charge V2 is the enhanced version of the known charger Cycle2Charge. The version V2 has an increased output power at same cycling speed.
The Cycle2Charge V3 includes the same efficient power generation but improves the compatibility to the different devices. This reduces for several devices the charging time significantly.
