Gear: Go Kin Packs Kickstarter

Innovative Go Kin uses the motion of walking to charge electronics and batteries. This portable device can be used anywhere, anytime to generate power on the go. This creation of Bill Ostrom is currently seeking funding through crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. With the Go Kin a short five-minute walk will produce enough power for a 10-25 minute phone call. You can feel good about using the Go Kin knowing that it is environmentally friendly and a healthy choice. Unlike other devices which rely on sun or wind, the GO KIN can be used 24/7.  

How it works

The GO KIN is simple and easy to use. The device fits into our backpack or fanny pack and two cords extend from the bottom of the pack and attach to your ankles (either clipping onto the tabs on your running shoes, or using our ankle straps). To generate power, you simply need to go for a walk. Watch the video below to learn more.
