At Turin Airport you can recharge your smartphone by pedaling. The first four Pila Bike models were installed in the Boarding Area of Turin Airport, a project resulting from the synergy between Turin Airport, Pradella Sistemi and Turin City Lab.
At Turin Airport you can recharge your smartphone by pedaling. The first four Pila Bike models were installed in the Boarding Area of Turin Airport, a project resulting from the synergy between Turin Airport, Pradella Sistemi and Turin City Lab.
The idea stems from the need to satisfy a widespread need at the airport, namely the need to recharge your device, be it a smartphone or PC while traveling.
The heart of the project is Pila, a universal charger for USB devices appropriately connected to eco-bikes: by pedaling it is in fact possible to carry out a quick recharge and create an ecological generation of energy sharing. All conveniently in the Airport Boarding Area, waiting for your flight, with a pleasant view of the runway.
Pila Bike has 4 charging stations, anchored to the floor and activated by pedaling: the structure, which also offers a support surface and electrical sockets, is available to passengers who simply want to recharge their device or do a little of movement while waiting for the flight, accumulating the energy produced and sharing it with other passengers.
