The LifeSpan
Ampera is a desk-integrated cycling system designed to introduce light movement
into daily work routines—without interrupting focus or changing the workspace
layout. Capable of generating up to 65 watts of electricity at 60 RPM, the
Ampera allows users to power devices like laptops and phones while pedaling. It
connects to the LifeSpan Health app to adjust resistance levels, and its
lightweight design makes it easy to move between desks or rooms. The frame is
made from recyclable high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), selected for its
durability and lower environmental impact. An adjustable seat accommodates
various desk heights, including standing desks, making it suitable for both
home and shared office environments.
This system
responds to the growing need to counter physical stillness during extended
periods of desk work. By adding motion to previously inactive hours, it
supports focus, energy levels, and long-term health—without requiring extra
space or new equipment. The Ampera operates quietly, without screens or fans,
allowing it to integrate into the workspace without disruption. It reflects a
shift toward tools that combine functionality and movement, offering an
alternative to conventional seating where wellness and productivity are treated
separately.
