SkyParks Business Centre is giving people the chance to charge their phones while cycling.

A two-bike station has been installed to serve the dual purpose of promoting a more active lifestyle and the generation of cleaner energy.

Developed by local NGO, MOVE, the two bikes that allow users to charge electrical devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, through the conversion of pedal power into electricity. 

The first two cyclists to inaugurate the bike station were Malta International Airport CEO, Alan Borg and Foundation of Medical Services CEO, Carmen Ciantar. Shortly after, Vodafone Malta CEO Amanda Nelson tried out the station and pedalled the way to a fully charged mobile phone.

Mr Borg said, “We’re excited to be launching this initiative, especially considering that it is one of the first of its kind in Malta. Using human power to generate energy is an innovative concept which is revered globally, with this form of power being hailed as the way forward in the field of alternate energy generation.”

Coinciding with the European Week of Sport, the inauguration of this station was extended to a whole programme of events planned around  fitness and wellbeing and energy saving. Over 1,000 employees working within SkyParks Business Centre were encouraged to break up their working day by taking part in outdoor games and other wellbeing initiatives.
