As users pedal their way through a much-needed workout, the kinetic energy generated by their exercise is harnessed to power up the devices lying on the table. Acer claims that one hour of cycling at 60 RPM will be enough to generate 75 watts, which is then supplied via two USB-A ports and a Type-C outlet on the desk to charge items like phones and laptops.
In addition to seat and table position adjustments, Acer’s athletic take on a workstation also has a mug holder on the desk area and a bag hook, as well. Users can create multiple profiles for other people sharing the machine, letting them add information like height and weight for a more accurate workout breakdown. Taking some inspiration from its own laptop line, Acer says the casing around the bike and the desk are made out of post-consumer recycled plastic material.
Acer says the eKinect BD 3 desk-bike hybrid will go on sale in the U.S. priced at $999. It will be up for grabs in June, and will also be making its way to markets in Europe and Asia, as well. Acer’s machine sounds like a bargain, considering more famous alternatives like those made by Peloton cost over $1,800, without factoring in the health service subscription.
