On Saturday 30th March 2019, PeachyKeen joined millions of people around the globe for Earth Hour. The international event which is organised by conservation charity WWF, urges individuals, communities and businesses to come together and take action to save the planet.
PeachyKeen united with the world to switch off their businesses lighting from 8:30-9:30pm and took the novel approach of utilising Human Powered Energy for the full hour. At their premises on Kirk Wynd in Kirkcaldy the team powered a fantastic laser show! They also projected images of animals at risk of extinction and showed videos distributed from the WWF to raise awareness of why we need to act on climate change. The electricity used to power these activates were generated through PeachyKeen pedal pods. Human Energy is a renewable energy source similar to solar or wind power but utilises human beings to generate the electricity.
It is believed that 90% of people who participate in Earth Hour say it inspires them to do more to protect the planet! Recent environmental figures have also revealed that we could have more plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2050. Furthermore one in six species are at risk of extinction because of climate change.
As part of the Earth Hour campaign in 2019, the WWF asked people to make a pledge to “Connect2Earth.” Some of the fantastic pledges made at PeachyKeen during Earth Hour included “planning a stay-cation closer to home this year,” “saving up for an electric van” and “making a conscious effort to avoid single use plastics.” Though the evening had a serious message, the PeachyKeen event proved to be good fun for everyone who got involved.

PeachyKeen’s Area51 workshop was the runway for an evening visit from 1192sqn Kirkcaldy Royal Air Force Air Cadets.
To help educate and inspire the Future Flyers, we setup a number of aviation and Festive related activities.
Gabby’s Spitfire proved to be a big hit as it whizzed around Area51’s Stable room powered by an electricity generating Hand Crank.
It was also a great opportunity for PeachyKeen to test our Water Wall festooned with Christmas lighting – a larger version of which is destined for the UK’s first Human Energy Play Park next door to Area51.
The occasion was concluded with a dazzling Human Powered Laser Show in our Demonstration Room.

The summer has been filled with a series of fun filled events with a purpose on behalf of Sustrans (SUStainable TRANSport).
Beginning with the Scottish Educational Awards, middling with the South City Way Festival in Glasgow and finishing a glorious summer with Social in the Gardens (Princess Street, Edinburgh).
Mick the Dug was busy getting selfies with the Educational Awards children while they powered the Sustrans branded Micro Scalextric Velodrome.
Active travel was celebrated at the South City Way Street Fest with the Water Lot of Energy Challenge, attracting local residents of all ages.
Promoting the use of Cargo Bikes in Edinburgh with our Balloon Challenge against the back drop of Edinburgh Castle was FANTASTIC.

PeachyKeen was privileged to be one of the activities at Go Live On The Green as part of Glasgow 2018 – European Championships – FANTASTIC…!!!
Averaging 10590 visitors each day for eleven days the PeachyKeen stand was buzzing with participants for its Water Lot of Energy Challenge.
Ranging in age from 3 to 91, including 13 of Police Scotland’s finest – the competitive spirit was evident in all those pedaling like fury…!!!

PeachyKeen has demonstrated the power of its Water Lot of Energy Challenge for the Templehall Fun Day in Kirkcaldy.
The activity encourages children and adults of all ages to generate energy on our PeachyKeen pods and go head to head to pump tanks from our storage tank to the water bottles at the top of the frame using our PeachyKeen Power Stations.
This is another one of our PeachyKeen activities which is perfect for family based event as it inspires a competitive element that provides a means by which children can compete against their parents – and have an opportunity of winning.

PeachyKeen designed and develop a new train based experience which was launched at Dundee Science Centre during their Science Week.
The activity used the PeachyKeen Pods to use human energy to power the model train set based on the immortal Flying Scotsman Steam Engine.
In the context of Science Week it proved successful in getting children and their parents to participate in a fun activity that explained the principal of energy generation.
It also inspired parents, particularly dads, to explain to their children the workings of model trains.
For many of the children that took part this was the first time they had “played” an activity that they had to power themselves – and was seen as a great success by parents who enjoyed seeing their kids not playing on their computer.

PeachyKeen’s has helped West Lothian Council to celebrate the opening of the new Almondvale Park in Livingston with a life-size Penguin and “green” dog festooned with LED lighting.
The opening event featured a number of stands and attractions, however we proved to be one of the most popular – but then you do not normally expect to see a Penguin in the middle of a park in Scotland.
We connected our PeachyKeen pod to the interactive Penguin and Dog and let the general public generate the power to make them light up.
The experience was designed to illustrate the amount of electricity that is being created while someone is exercising.

As a proud sponsor of the Meedies Bike Club, we were delighted to bring our unique interactive experience to their SXC Mountain Bike Event in Fife.
PeachyKeen designed a unique experience where our PeachyKeen Pods were connected to a power washer to wash mountain bikes after their event.
This has proved a brilliant addition to cycling events as one person can cycle to create the power while another washes down their bike.
However, it has been known for children to suddenly think they can soak their mum or dad who is peddling to provide the power, the former not realising that if they stop peddling the water stops skooshing!

PeachyKeen was delighted to help Active Fife’s Wee Bike Fest which is designed to promote health & well being in the area.
Our remit was to provide activities over a series of evening events that highlighted Active Fife’s goal to promote cycling, health and well-being. This enabled the staff of Fife Council to encourage the local community to utilise its sports facilities and provide healthy living information.
And with it being Christmas, we decided to bring in a bit of festive cheer by using our PeachyKeen Pods to power a large illuminated Santa Claus and a Frosty the snowman model.
The event proved to be great fun for both children and their parents.

PeachyKeen has brought its unique approach to Illuminations and Multimedia to add a new dimension to the Old Kirk Ghost Walk in Kirkcaldy by projecting ghostly images and ghoulish sounds within the graveyard.
The Old Kirk Ghost Walk was designed to provide a fun and interactive activity for both young and old on a cold and clear November evening with period dressed actors located amongst the gravestones.
The PeachyKeen team worked closely with the committee of the Old Kirk to create a spooky experience that delighted the crowds.

Thank you again from the Muller Dairy and Blowmoulding sites. “
"My company booked the PeachyKeen smoothie bikes for a Wellbeing event we were hosting in May. From start to finish, Joa was extremely friendly and helpful, responding quickly to any queries I had as well as providing helpful information about the bikes which we used to promote on our internal channels. The event itself was a great success – my colleagues absolutely loved the bikes, and the smoothies were delicious (we had lots of people going back for seconds, and thirds!). We also had some special requests on the day, and PeachyKeen were extremely accommodating and nothing was a hassle for them. Overall, a really great experience and would 100% recommend if you are looking for a fun (and healthy!) activity for any event you’re hosting." Eve Robertson, Modulr Finance
Just wanted to thank you and your Team for your efforts on behalf of CIRCLE for the Scottish Recovery Consortium Recovery Walk Scotland - Paisley 2022. The smoothie bike activity was so welcomed by those on attendance and there were so many smiles on people's faces it brought further joy and happiness to such a fantastic event. I will strongly be recommending PeachyKeen to our Service Partners. Not only the activity, but your staff team were so welcoming and really got involved in supporting the day and engaging with everyone who took part in the activity: amazing!!! Thank you so much from CIRCLE. Iain Risk, Circle
We booked Joa for our Bike Fun Day event and loved how colourful the Peachykeen stand was which helped attract people to have a go at the smoothie bike. The smoothies are actually delicious, and Joa provided all of the ingredients so that we did not have to source those. It's a great fun activity for all ages, and the team were so busy all day we completely used up all of the smoothie supplies! We will definitely book you again.
