Bicycle Handlebar Mounted Power Bank Portable Battery Charger Will Back Up any USB Devise

 

Joose Box portable battery charger comes with two straps for mounting on bicycle handle bar

Keep Your Back Up USB Battery Power Close at Hand - Joose Box


Back up power for your consumer electronics products that can be recharged by USB are available in all sizes and shapes. No one wants to be cut off from their iPhone or unable to GoPro that huge wave, and thus a huge industry has been born to provide a jolt of extra juice should you find yourself in a place with no outlets or not in possession of your charger cord and box.

For we cyclists, it is about way more than a smart phone. It might involve our lights or our on board computer, not to mention our GoPro. It would be so sad to finally find that perfect shot and not be able to record the moment. And riding the rest of the trail in total darkness may be edgy, but sketchy for sure. There is something quite unsettling about watching a smart phone die from lack of juice. Enter the Joose Box.

Back up is more important for a cyclist on a ride than for most other times in life. To be sure, we don't need one more thing in our seat bag or our pockets (assuming we even have pockets).  We certainly don't want to have to fish around in a back pack. And assuming we carry a power bank in one of those places, how do we use it to power handlebar mounted products? Does it just hang down by the strap?

The Joose Box is a perfect solution that sits in the perfect place. Strapped to the handlebar with silicon straps, the Joose Box is positioned right next to the devices that need a boost. Designed to look like an enthusiast's item, the Joose Box is easy to mount and remove, gives hours of back up power, and is competitive with similar products on the market.

When Exactly Does a Bicycle Safety Light Become a Bicycle Headlight? - See at Interbike 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The completely new-for-Interbike 2014 Pluton USB Headlight blurs the lines


But there is nothing blurry about the output of this tiny new headlight.  Just in time for the bicycle headlight season, Clean Motion is adding to its stellar list of great lighting options. The Pluton will fill the gap between the super successful Beam Bugs silicon LED safety lights, the hot selling Brutus headlight, and the top of the line Atomic Hot Dog.

The Pluton looks like a safety light in size and shape, but is brighter than the Brutus, and other similarly priced headlights. The Pluton doesn't pack the lumens of the Atomic Hot Dog, but it delivers serious illumination at a great price.

To add to the list of great features on the Pluton, you never have to worry about buying a battery. This little giant comes with a USB rechargeable battery and cord, and will give you X hours of performance on the full brightness setting when fully charged.

To reduce battery use and to increase the safety component of the Pluton, set the light to blink or chase modes.

Clean Motion also offers a companion Pluton tail light. Like all Clean Motion tail lights, the Pluton tail light is engineered to give maximum brightness as a safety product. The silicone strap mounting system makes both headlight and tail light easy to mount or remove.
