Juicinator - The Juice Maker

One of the newest Eco activities available at KISC is the Juicinator! But what is the Juicinator?!

The Juicinator is an old bike that has been given new life, by our hardworking Pinkie crew, as a man powered juice-maker. In less than 5 minutes you can blend your own custom juice or smoothie, using just the strength of your own two legs.

But how does it work? The back wheel of the Juicinator is pressed against a much smaller wheel that turns the blades of a blender. So as people pedal the bike the blender whizzes to life. All parts used to convert the original bike are pre-loved… that’s right the entire bike is recycled to make this activity that much kinder to the environment.

The Juicinator ran for the first time this week, a very exciting moment, and the verdict so far has been glowing. Guests have loved the bike as well as the delicious smoothies that have resulted. We now have two recipe suggestions for people to try:
