Pedal power your next big event with the Utility Box, combining the energy of up to 10 bike generators into a single, robust output. Find out how it can elevate your experience.

Pedal Power Your Next Event

The Utility Box combines the energy of up to 10 bike generators into one powerful output, simplifying power management for large-scale pedal-powered events.

Plug in 1-10 generators, connect your devices, and start pedaling to create an engaging, collective experience that brings audiences together.

Our experience with pedal-powered concerts has shown how engaged audiences become when their entertainment depends on the steady power they produce.

The Utility Box dynamically shows pedalers the level of effort required. The devices you select will stay on as long as pedalers stay in the green. The digital wattage display makes it educational and fun. Pedalers love to rally spontaneously to push the wattage over 500 or 1000W, depending on the age range and group size.

The enclosed inverter, rated at 1500W, turns pedal power into usable electricity for everyday devices. It’s important to note that pedalers probably won’t sustain 1500W output unless they’re very strong and motivated. A realistic estimate is 40W usable continuous electricity per person for an average adult, and 20W per child. To know your approximate power budget, multiply these per-person estimates by the number of bikes. Pedalers can temporarily sustain higher output levels to achieve specific goals, and the excitement of these shared team objectives brings out their best effort. Good music, dancing, and coaching will rally pedalers to give more and have more fun than they expected!

Unleash Powerful Team Dynamics

The Rock the Bike Utility Box puts control and excitement at your fingertips. All important aspects are on one cleanly designed surface: inputs, outputs, and live data.

The two “On/Off” switches allow you to add more resistance to the bikes and turn on ‘rewards’ like light displays, bubbles, fog, cooling fans, or your own creative ideas.

The live data screen includes output wattage. During live and DJ music events, it’s important to note that increasing the volume, playing bass-heavy music, and plugging in more instruments will increase the load on the system. The live data screen shows this in real time. If your system is often in the red, check the live data screen—you may see output power higher than expected. Make adjustments, such as lowering listening levels, and your pedalers will thank you!

Built-in Pedalometer shows groups how hard to pedal.

Both the internal and external pedalometers are synced, using the same color-coding to communicate the status of the Utility Box to riders, performers, and audience alike. Everyone is aligned and motivated when the pedalometer is well-placed at events, and when MCs and performers remind and thank pedalers for keeping it in the green. When the pedalometer dips into the red, coaches may need to hold “PEDAL” signs, invite new pedalers to join, and rally all participants to bring it back to green. A blinking red means an outage is imminent.

If an outage does occur, pedalers often feel excited as they realize the experience truly is pedal powered! They’ll quickly bring the pedalometer back into the green so the party can continue.

The pedalometer is everyone’s shared metric for the pedal power system. With an engaged, caring group and attention on the pedalometer, you can achieve an event without outages. The group’s hearts, minds, and muscles work in tandem—a beautiful, optimistic experience for all that’s hard to pull off without a well-designed tool like this.

The box-lid pedalometer is effective for small events (up to 3-4 pedalers) as long as they can see it. For larger events and groups where people are farther from the Utility Box, you’ll need the freestanding external pedalometer for effectively communicating power levels.
