The Pedal Power® is a tool that you can use in your classroom to teach about energy production, use, and conservation. Students can actually ride a stationary bike to power a generator, which in turn powers an incandescent light bulb, a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), a LED light bulb, a hair dryer, a radio, and a fan. A photovoltaic (PV) panel is available for use to power the equipment above as well.

- Bicycle Stand with Generator & Bike (minimum 24″ wheel)
