Make your pedal power system even more interactive and interesting with our range of displays.
These help visually explain concepts of power and energy which increases the educational impact of pedal power.
We can supply these to work with your pedal power system.
We worked with promotions company Creative Race to provide pedal powered activities for MugShots, one of the sponsors of the Tour De Yorkshire cycle race.
Here is our two-bike pedal power challenge. This comprises of two large LED bar graphs to show either power or energy.
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.
This can be linked in to energy efficiency advice and gives the users an interactive way of feeling how much energy different devices use.
Pip, Pip,
I had an energetic week racing around the country with Doctor Matt Little and his crazy pedal powered inventions. We traveled to five different offices with a pedal powered machine powering light bulbs and monitoring the amount of energy each person produced.
It was really great to see people getting on board with saving energy, increase their fitness level and battle to be the best.
It wasn’t all fun and games as our pedal power military characters had a serious message about turning off computer monitors when they are not being used, lights when there is no one in, walking, cycling or lift sharing the journey to work, every once in a while, instead of driving alone and only boiling the amount of water you needed in the kettle. All things we should already do but sometimes need that little extra reminder.
What better way to be reminded than a bit of healthy competition between offices? Office workers got to break up their day with a quick spurt of energy on one of Matt’s crazy inventions. They loosened their ties, rolled up their sleeves and peddled till sweat dripped off their brows. I was impressed with the amount of effort people put in and most of them pledged to think more about the amount of energy they are using and to endeavor to waste less. I’m not going to lie, I think the competitive element helped but we all know that it’s not about winning, it’s the taking part that counts…Ha! Who am I kidding, that’s what losers say!
Over and Out,
Captain Ria.
The output from all pedal generators is variable so the must be something to regulate the pedal generator.
The boring, but essential, piece of kit to do that is the control regulator. We provide robust and reliable control regulators built to a very high specification. Here are the various options available the we provide ‘off the shelf’ – please get in touch for bespoke systems

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.
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.
