PedalCell Cadence X

  Omafiets Stock Update August 2023. We have made the tough decision to stop selling PedalCell. We sold approximately 30 units over a 18 month period and while many customers had a good experience the failure rate was approximately 1/4 which is way way too high for a product customers are using for touring and remote riding. Our observed failure rate from selling SON/SP Dynamo hubs would be less than 1% by comparison.

As a shop that has been massive advocates of Dynamo hub systems for many years we were enthusiastic about making charging options that were more cost effective for customers and opened up new options but we can no longer sell this product in good conscience.   See our instock options for SON/ SP Dynamo and charging options from K-Lite, Sinewave and others for products that we think are a significantly better option in the long run. 

PedalCell is a new way of charging electronic devices on long bike rides. At the shop we have been doing hub dynamo work for close to ten years and lots of solutions for charging over that time. However the real limit is that hub output is capped at 3W and it involves not just buying a hub but rebuilding the wheel around it. 

PedalCell requires no wheel rebuild, bolts on in minutes and puts out up to 15-20W to meaningfully charge modern power hungry devices like phones, GPS units and Lights. 

It can easily be moved between bikes and when disengaged creates Zero drag.
