I ride an electric bicycle that uses a 48V battery for it's energy source and there have been times when it would have been convenient to have a USB charging port (for charging my phone or any other other device that can recharge from a USB port).  So I built this USB charging port (basically a DC-to-DC converter capable of handling up to 60V input voltage).  I used the OSH Park circuit board prototyping service which worked perfectly.  I wrote an instructable about the build here:
