An apparatus includes a rim, a tire, and an energy harvesting component. The rim is configured to rotate and move. The tire is coupled to the rim. The tire when inflated is configured to transfer force to the rim resulting from compressive force acting on a portion of the tire making contact with a road. The energy harvesting component is positioned on the rim and configured to capture a kinetic energy in response to the compressive force acting on the portion of the tire making contact with the road as the rim rotates.
