Hundreds of bikers in Kaohsiung generate power for charity
2025-03-21
An event was held in Kaohsiung recently, where participants exercised to generate power for charity. Hundreds gathered outside the National Stadium on stationary bikes hooked up to batteries for donation to those in need. Some schools even brought entire classes to get a little exercise while also doing a public good. The organizer estimated that more than 300 people took part, generating more than 10,000 watts of energy.
Here on the sidewalk outside of the Kaohsiung National Stadium, hundreds of people are pedaling hard on stationary bikes.
But this isn’t an exercise challenge. It’s an event to generate power for charity. Pedaling on the bikes generates power, which can be donated to those in need. Some schools brought entire classes to participate.
The students are pedaling until they’re out of breath, giving their all for the less fortunate. Some even pushed a little too hard, and had to be rushed to the medical station to rest. This special event allows participants to challenge themselves for a good cause. School instructors even came to show them how it’s done.

While exercising, with the power-generating bike, we can store some energy and donate it to charity organizations in need.

It gives them a chance to get out of the classroom and get outside while doing a good deed together.

We estimate there’s about 300 people here. If 300 students pedal for one hour, we could generate more than 10,000 watts. That’s enough to power two households for an entire day.
Every pedal is an expression of care for the less fortunate. By combining sports with renewable energy, they’ve created a new model for philanthropy.

“讓他們從課堂的教室，把他們帶到戶外來，一起做公益學習”
[[活動主辦綠能公司業者 陳泰良]]
“這次預估三百個人，三百個學生如果踩一小時，發電量應該可以一萬多瓦，應該可以夠兩個家庭整天的使用”
每踩一下飛輪，都是對弱勢群體的關愛，也形成一種運動結合綠能，相當特殊的公益活動新模式。
