The Activearo wind up radio is a pocket-size emergency radio with a torch that keeps working when the power and the mobile network go down. Wind the handle, set it in the sun or plug it in, and you have AM and FM radio, a torch and an emergency phone top-up without batteries or a socket.

It receives AM and FM through a telescoping aerial, plus the US NOAA weather band, which is not broadcast in the UK. A fold-out wind-up generator, a solar panel on top and a micro-USB input all charge the built-in rechargeable battery, which runs the radio, a 3-LED torch with its own button and a USB port for topping up a phone.

Worried your phone will be your only source of news in a storm? Mobile signal and broadband can drop out along with the power. AM and FM radio come in over the air, so you can keep up with local news and weather updates with no signal bars at all.

Keep it in the kitchen drawer, the car, the grab bag or the tackle box, so you are never left in the dark during a power cut.

Key Features:

  • Receives AM and FM, so you can hear local news and weather updates without mobile signal or Wi-Fi.
  • Fold-out wind-up handle recharges the built-in battery when there is no socket and no sun.
  • Solar panel on top tops up the battery in daylight while the radio sits on a windowsill or a dashboard.
  • Micro-USB input charges the radio from a plug adapter, a power bank or a car USB port before winter.
  • USB output gives your phone an emergency top-up for a call or a text during a power cut.
  • Built-in 3-LED torch with its own push button gives you light the moment the power cuts out.
  • Pocket size at 12.8 cm long with a wrist strap, easy to keep in a glovebox, tackle box, rucksack or emergency kit.
  • Comes in red, easy to spot in a dark drawer or bag, or in black.
