Hate scrabbling for bike light batteries? Sick of losing charge on your Garmin during an epic backpacking adventure? Aussie brand Knog has created a power bank that can solve both these problems, and even pump out tunes wirelessly at the end of a hard day’s riding. Meet the Knog PWR range.

Now it’s only just launched on Kickstarter today, so you can’t actually buy these devices yet, but they do look good. Knog has considerable form when it comes to designing well-thought-out, innovative cycling accessories — its new Oi bike bell for example, which attracted over five times its original Kickstarter goal of AU$20,000.
“It’s such an obvious idea really — you don’t use all these products at the same time, so why not save on batteries,” says Knog’s CEO, Hugo Davidson. “If you do use these all at the same time, then you can have as many batteries as you like, giving you longer run-time. It’s win-win”.

The Knog PWR range
OK let’s look at each of these devices in turn, starting with the battery pack that powers them all, called the PWR Bank.
Like all products in the range it’s made from machined aluminium and simply slots into whichever ‘host device’ you want to use it with. The PWR Bank has a 3,200Ah capacity that’s capable of charging an iPhone 6 once and still have enough juice left for around six hours of music playback on the PWR Speaker. It weighs 95g and measures 30x92mm.
