Feature of electric bike for off-road

The bike is not afraid of off-road. He was not afraid of thick grass, sand, snow, mud and so on. The design ensures high throughput.

Not a good idea – to ride a bicycle near a busy road. Especially in the evening or at night. The presence of classical signal lights can not be saved by inattentive drivers.

Another thing – the new “paint” from Volvo. The company has created a unique spray LifePaint, reducing the likelihood of tragic collisions in the dark.
A real gift for fans of two-wheeled transport.

The technology works as follows. On the “bike” and clothing applied “intelligent” structure. By day he is invisible, does not leave any traces of use.

But it is worth dusk, LifePaint glows in the glow of headlights. The closer the machine, the brighter the cyclist “shines”. Do not notice it is simply impossible.

These properties are “invention” Volvo retains within 10 days. Or before the first heavy rain. Then the processing procedure must be repeated.

Unfortunately, spray sold exclusively in the United Kingdom.

Smart-gadgets more and more, and now to smart devices and adds another smart vehicles. For example, a bicycle JIVR Bike, equipped with an electric motor can “communicate” with a number of different devices, including smartphones, trackers, smart watches and some other devices. This was made possible thanks to the module iBeacon.

In addition to a kind of sociability, Bike even folding: if necessary JIVR Bike can be folded and carried in the hands of a compact system.

The cost of the vehicle is from 1036 to 2593 dollars depending on the model. Now JIVR Bike still not sold on the market it will come in September this year.

Project developers Helix modesty is different. You’re folding bike they call the most compact of all existing in the market.

It is likely that this is true. The self-titled vehicle weighs only 9.5 kg. And folded has a very small size: 584 by 635 by 229 mm.

This “bike” is easy to store and transport – places it is almost none. You can literally “one left” to convey to the right place.

What else Helix able to interest prospective owners?

The presence of 9-speed gearbox, disc brakes and robust frame made of titanium.

As for the wheels, their size is 24 inches.

Sounds interesting. It is difficult to understand how such a concept people need, but the authors of the project are willing to risk. In the near future, action starts on the site Kickstarter (to raise funds for the mass production of the prototype).

As retailers, Helix goes for the price in 1499 dollars. Would I like to save money? Then it is necessary to make a reservation for 1199 USD.

We have seen different versions of vibration prompts users of mobile devices to help them reach the intended target in any new city. And why go far: Who of you know by heart your own city? Here came a time when such technology will be installed on bikes. Place to implement them the most successful – the handlebar. Now the company Boréal, producing bicycles, decided to distinguish themselves from competitors and make their products more innovative. But we should not assume that smrtGRiPS velolyubitelyu can get only with the new model. Not at all. It can be added to an existing bike and after the installation of special grips on the steering wheel. And every bike thereby becomes a little smarter and start prompting his master, where to go, when and where to roll.

From a technical point of view themselves nozzles – just an ordinary rubber handle. Each of these, however, is divided into two parts with a waterproof cylindrical “core” in the middle, which makes steering and navigation means present. Among other things, the components developers include on-board electronic components, such as a 3.7-volt battery with 700 mA / h, Bluetooth module and a vibrating motor.

Connect wirelessly to the application on iOS device or smartphone based on Android user and allow to receive such valuable guidance for further investigation. One battery (executed via USB) should be enough to use for about three months.

If the bike is stolen by a sudden, the network device with the app can be used to look for it. Once the bike was gone, its signal will be detected by any user application that passes within 100 meters (330 feet) from the loss. Alarm notification will show the location of the owner, telling him the approximate location where you want to see.

Once it gets to the point of sending a signal, he may proceed to a more precise search using distance indicator in the annex. In addition, it will be possible to send a signal to the bike, causing the handle on the steering wheel produce an audible “siren”. Owners can also use this function if they simply forget exactly where they parked their horse-katun.
