Bike Gadget of the Day: A Light That'll Live Forever
This new solar-powered device is infinitely re-chargable.
Bicycle technology today is a lot about the bells and whistles (sometimes literally). Take, for example, the device produced by Dutch company Rydon: a bike light that lasts forever, without you doing anything. No new batteries or bulbs, no complex charging.
Straight out of the box, the Rydon Pixio comes charged with about two years of light. An embedded high-efficiency solar panel continues to charge as you ride. A single hour of sun produces three hours of LED light, and the battery is fully recharged—and good for another 2 years—after 5 sunny days.
