Tukas EV has announced a new model of its energy-generating exercise bike, the “HR Bank S750”, designed as a more accessible and affordable eco-friendly fitness trainer for those with lower energy needs
NASA has confirmed that 2023 it was the warmest year since modern records beganaround 1880. This alarming statistic highlights the urgency of adopting sustainable technological innovations that help us live more ecologically on a daily basis. Smart thermostats and smart plugs are some of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to incorporate green technology into your home.
However, other methods of pursuing energy independence can be cost-prohibitive, as solar panels and green hydrogen are beyond the financial means of many. Tukas EVa startup specializing in clean energy and mobility solutions, is making energy independence more accessible by introducing a new model of its cyclette “HR Bank”which generates energy and stores energy.
Affordable energy independence for the home | Exercise bike that generates and stores energy: the intuition of Tukas EV
The original “HR Bank M2000” model was designed with a 2000Wh battery, enough to power the lights in a house for a week, in case of emergency. 15 minutes of cycling are enough to charge a smartphone, while one hour can charge a laptop. Energy can also be stored in a high-capacity battery from the electricity grid, a car generator, solar panels or wind power.
The new “S750” model has a lower capacity battery, optimized for those who wish to use the “HR Bank” as an eco-friendly exercise bike and energy storage device, capable of charging a phone or computer using only human-generated energy . The new model also costs around €400 less, with prices starting from 2.557 €making it an accessible option to a wider audience.
Aurelijus Jaškulis, COO at Tukas EV he claims:
Even as more and more people try to live eco-consciously, not everyone has the same energy needs. We have found that the ability to charge a phone, computer or desk lamp is more than enough for many.” The new ‘HR Bank S750’ has been designed as a low-power energy storage device to help these people achieve a new level of energy independence.
The main differences between the “S750” and the “M2000” are the reduced weight (41 kg versus 46 kg) and the lower capacity battery (750Wh versus 2000Wh). While the battery of the original “M2000” model can charge a smartphone 100 to 135 times, the new “S750” model can charge the same phone 40 to 50 times.
A sustainable and customizable energy source
Both “HR Bank” models are built with the same ones sustainable materials, with the same eco-compatible production processes and with recycled materials. As a result, all bicycle parts can be recycled at the end of their life cycle. The bikes’ main body components are made from responsibly produced aluminium, while the side panels are made from FSC-certified birch plywood from sustainably managed forests. Almost all components are produced internally, using electricity from renewable sources.
The new model “S750” and the original model they can be customized to adapt to user preferences, with customizable colours, materials and finishes.
Always Jaskulis claims:
We take the user into account from start to finish. Thanks to the fully adjustable handles, seat and tilt angle, the easy-to-use ‘HR Bank’ can be used by both children and the elderly. Thanks to the trolley-type wheels, it is easily transportable and can also be fixed to a desk to be used as an ergonomic workstation. With this new low-power model, we help ensure that an ‘HR Bank’ can fit seamlessly into any home, regardless of its power needs.
