Pedaling for Ball Drops

Nye Ball Drop in NYC to Be Powered by Duracell Battery Bikes

Taking a cue from a certain Copenhagen Christmas tree we featured earlier this month, the ceremonial NYE ball drop which takes place in Times Square will be brought you by the good people who have decided to lend a few minutes to pedal for a cause.

Duracell has set up its Smart Power Lab in New York and you can stop by and pedal for a while. The energy will be generated, stored and the used when the clock strikes midnight. Check out more on the Duracell battery bikes by following the links below.
