The ATOM

Win-win situation

What if you could charge your phone while biking? You don’t need energy so your electricity bill will reduce. While biking you will workout your body so there is also muscle-gain. And it is also very durable. What else do you need? The Siva Cycle ATOM offers it all. What is it? This new bike, developed by Aaron Latzke and David Delcourt can offer you a nice, durable trip. Why is it cool? By biking while your smartphone is connected to the bike (via an USB), it’s battery gains energy. You don’t need your usual charger anymore, because cycling to charge your phone is way more fun, right?

It is also a great way to get offline for a while. Because during cycling it’s not safe to use your phone. In this way, you can enjoy the nature with your friends perhaps, while you’re outside. A great way to be offline, right? You can buy a whole bike which has it’s own ATOM confirmed to it, but you can also buy a singly ATOM to attach to your own bike. The ATOM itself costs around $120, and a whole bike varies from 400$ to $800. The ATOM or an ATOM-bike isn’t cheap, but it seems like it’s worth it! I think this invention is a great one for the future. Health is a big issue in the world. Too many people are overweight so need a little exercise. Also a lot of people are using smartphones all day, so I think these two can be combined. I think cycling while charging your phone so you can later connect with your friends again (or better, cycle with your friends so you don’t need your smartphone at all) is a great way to be durable and effective all at once.
