The Solar Powered Goal Zero Mini Generator Can Keep All of Your Bike Devices Charged

If you happen to be of the adventure cycling persuasion, and have the need to keep all of your bike related devices charged while at times far removed from civilization, the solar-powered Goal Zero Yeti 150 may very well be the perfect companion.

The Yeti 150 is a silent, fume-free, plug-in play mini generator that’s capable of charging one’s smartphone, GoPro camera and perhaps even the battery for your electronic groupset, numerous times over – using the sun as its source of energy. And, at 6in x 3.8in x 3.7in in size and weighing 12 lbs, it’s both small and light enough to tackle the rigors of outward bound cycling.  

While the Yeti 150 is not cheap at $229.99, it does provide a viable option for cyclists who need to stayed connected during long adventures.
