As the world catches a huge wave of technology expansion, Powerlet gives us solutions that allow our two-wheeled machines to keep up. With our ever-growing menagerie of devices, why not harness the bike’s own generator/battery power to keep them charged while on the road?

Now with Powerlet’s rugged Electrix product line, riders can run heated gear while charging phones, cameras, and iPads, all tucked away out of sight in tank bags or luggage. No more unplugging equipment to take it with you, while you duck into the gas station or store. Talk about freedom.

On long adventure rides, I have been plugging my phone, camera, or net- book into an SAE adapter off the battery for several years. But more recently, I upgraded my DRZ stator RaceTechElectric.com to run heated gear off a separate coax cable, and then my other electronic devices simultaneously through Powerlet’s waterproof luggage Electrix pass-through port mounted in the side of my Wolfman Rainier tank bag.

With the SAE to “cigarette lighter” socket cable, I attach my 150w Enercell power inverter that has a three outlet option (a 110–120v outlet, USB port, and additional cigarette socket).Powerlet ensures that these products are designed and manufactured to meet the rugged requirements needed by riders in the elements.

When we push ourselves and our bikes to the limit we want our gear to be up to the task. That’s why quality products that withstand water, vibration, UV rays, and oil/gas make it to the final cut on our beloved machines. Luggage Electrix cable pass-through port MSRP: $16.95; SAE to cigarette lighter socket cable MSRP: $16.95; Powerlet to dual USB adapter MSRP: $49.95; Cigarette lighter insert to Powerlet socket metal adapter MSRP: $19.95.
