The challenge can be either a timed challenge, where the winner is the person who generates the most energy or the maximum power, or it can be a race to generate a certain amount of energy.

About Us

Bespoke Gear have been building interactive pedal-power systems for over 15 years. Doing events and selling equipment to a wide variety of customers in that time we have learnt what works. We design and build high-quality, robust pedal-powered equipment and bespoke, interesting and interactive displays. If you are trying to promote environmental awareness, energy efficiency, getting people fit or just want something thats a bit different for your event then we might have something for you.

Renewable Energy Innovation

Our sister business, Renewable Energy Innovation, works on innovative electrical systems for renewable energy projects. It was through working on renewable enegry projects that Bespoke Gear was started. We needed interesting and interactive displays to explain power and energy to a wide range of people. Hence our first pedal power system was born.
If you require consultancy, design and implementation services for your renewable energy project, then please visit their website.
