# Regenerative Cycling Equipment The Conceptual 'Energy Keeper' by Sasha Torgova is Eco-Friendly By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-12-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-keeper References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2022/12/15/based-on-regenerative-braking-this-nifty-device-clips-to-your-bike-wheel-to-generate-electric-energy-deploy-it-to-the-grid/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=based-on-regenerative-braking-this-nifty-device-clips-to-your-bike-wheel-to-generate-electric-energy-deploy-it-to-the-grid)  The conceptual 'Energy Keeper' has been designed by Sasha Torgova as a solution for cyclists to help them capture [regenerative energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-drive) as they ride. The system works by being attached onto the bike where it captures the kinetic energy from the front wheel and stows the accumulated energy in a [removable power pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiler-compact). This pack is then attached onto a [nearby station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bike-docking-station) where it's uploaded to the grid to act as a sustainable electricity source that harnesses the power of commuters. The conceptual 'Energy Keeper' takes a bold step towards transforming the modern city infrastructure and also showcases a connected design. The accompanying smartphone app will relay pertinent information related to efficiency, the amount of electricity generated, individual trips and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Regenerative Cycling:** Opportunities for developing more efficient and effective regenerative cycling equipment and systems exist in the transportation industry. - **Sustainable Energy Sources:** Innovative products that capture and store kinetic energy from various sources, like bicycles, can disrupt the energy industry by providing a sustainable energy source. - **Connected Design:** The combination of physical products like the Energy Keeper with smartphone apps can disrupt both the design and tech industries by providing unique user experiences and more efficient product use. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** Opportunities exist in the transportation industry to develop and market regenerative cycling equipment that can be used for health and environmental benefits. - **Energy:** The development of innovative products like the Energy Keeper can disrupt the energy industry by providing an alternative, sustainable energy source that utilizes kinetic energy from various sources. - **Design:** The combination of connected, physical products like the Energy Keeper with smartphone apps can disrupt traditional design practices by providing unique user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Charging E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vello-bike-design.md) - [Sleek Electricity-Storing Velomobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricity-storing-velomobile.md) - [Solar-Powered eBike Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beambike.md) - [Cyberpunk Cityscape Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayra-bike.md) - [Sleekly Assistive Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-fixie.md) - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Angular Enclosed Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike.md) - [Regenerative Drive Mechanisms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-drive.md) - [Productivity-Supporting Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-ekinekt-bd-3.md)
