Two smart electrical sockets operated by 7″ display provide up to 250W of energy for charging electric bicycles, laptops and other electronic devices. Monna City is a perfect cycling point for urban locations, such as city squares, marinas or parks.

Its basic functions are 100% solar powered, and do not require any additional power supply, or infrastructural adjustments. More advanced functions – electric bicycle charging sockets, outdoor digital display, CCTV system etc. – require AC grid power.

“While designing our electrical sockets, we had safety of Monna users in mind, adding two layers of user protection. Sockets automatically shut down when it rains or when exceeding energy consumption limit. Monna Country is our most powerful cycling point model, designed for countryside locations, such as countryside cycling routes, hills, etc.Its basic functions are 100% solar powered, and do not require any additional power supply, or infrastructural adjustments.”
