A new generation of more sustainable and eco-friendly workstations is emerging. This trend is illustrated perfectly by a new bike desk presented at the CES 2023 consumer tech show in Las Vegas, allowing you to exercise and recharge your computer, all while working.

It is Taiwanese manufacturer Acer that is presenting this hybrid workstation of a whole new kind. Called the eKinekt BD 3, it has been designed to keep people active even while working at a computer. Two pedalling modes are available. The "working" mode proposes an upright sitting position with the desktop close, while in "sports" mode, the desktop is positioned a little more forwards, leaving more free space to lean into a racing position and pedal harder. An accompanying mobile application helps users track the progress of their performance over time, with information on exercise time and calories burned.
