Route choices, food re-stocks, camping spots: there’s enough to consider on a bike tour without hunting down plug sockets to scrounge some charge for your various devices.
The Plug III is a neat little gadget which enables you to charge devices direct from your dynamo hub. 6V AC power from your dynamo hub is converted into the 5V DC power necessary for charging via USB and fed into the handy USB type-C port on the top cap.
All the electronics are housed within the top cap itself; internal componentry is encased in polymer and an aluminium housing to protect them from impacts and moisture.
The Plug III also uses PAT II technology, a power amplifier which helps to produce a constant 5V output from speeds as low as 7mph/12km/h. The PAT II cable hides tidily within your bike’s head tube so that there is no external cabling.
**Not compatible with Camino or Colibri forks
