Although this Hello Kitty looks like it wants to walk like an Egyptian, it's designed to be an MPG -- that's short for "Man-Powered Generator." To be honest with you, I don't know any men who would be caught dead cranking on a Hello Kitty ride.
It's hard to envision the dimensions of the unit by this picture, but it seems to be designed for a small child, perhaps 60 or 70 pounds at most, to ride and turn the handlebars round and round to generate power.
According to the literature provided by the manufacturer, Porng Da Electronic Co., Ltd, of Guangdong Province in China, it would take 30 minutes of cranking on Hello Kitty to provide 25 minutes of power for a notebook computer. Just leave it to the Chinese to make child labor seem fun.
