With the surge of cellphone use in China and the colossal amount of bicycles that is being used by the Chinese population still, Motorola is set to make a killing! when they launch their new bicycle charger. Provided they can fend off the Chinese copy cats.

Ed Zander said :

"For people living in emerging markets, energy is a scarcity," Motorola chief executive Ed Zander said Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show. "In Southeast Asia, rural China and Latin America, we can actually put this in, hook it up and charge this device while we are riding a bike."

I can still remember the "7-up Sports" with the lamp charger that lights up very bright when you go down a hill and wavers or blinks when you go uphill.
