HELSINKI — Want to talk more? Keep pedaling, says Nokia.

The world’s largest mobile phone maker on Thursday launched four low-priced handsets and a recharger that can be connected to a bicycle’s dynamo which charges when the wheels turn.

The bicycle charger kit and handsets — some with a standby battery time of up to six weeks, FM radio and flashlights — are aimed at users with limited access to electricity.

The new devices will be available during the second half of the year, priced at between euro30 and euro45 ($36-$55).
