The Acer eKinekt BD 3 exercise bike is a tech-focused piece of workout equipment for professionals to incorporate into their living space as a way to maintain productivity when getting some work done.
The stationary bike is compact and sturdy, and will transform the user's pedaling power into kinetic energy perfect for powering up your laptop or other mobile device. This power can be accessed via a USB-A and USB-C port on the desk, while the desktop section offers just the right amount of space for a laptop and a few other small essentials.
The Acer eKinekt BD 3 exercise bike will initially be launched for $999, and will first go on sale in Taiwan in April before arriving in the US and Europe in June.
