You can
actually turn you bike into a smart bike with the smarthalo. You lock it onto
your handlebar and it will give you the fastest and safest route to your
destination. and that's definitely not all!
It will
automatically track time, distance, speed, burned calories, elevation and route
and upload it to the app on your phone. You can also set goals and it will show
live progress on your handlebar.
The
smarthalo will remember where you parked it, so you can check your phone, if
you forgot.
It will
also be your light at night. As soon as the sun sets it will automatically go
on. And if you stop cycling it will automatically turn off.
Besides
all this, it makes sure your bike will not get stolen. The motion sensor inside
the smarthalo will trigger an alarm when your bike is moved unauthorized. And
scare of the thief. The smarthalo will recognize your phone and unlock when you
come close. If you lost, forgot your phone or run out of batteries you can deactivate
your alarm by tapping a so called tapcode on the smarthalo.
It will
also let you know if you are being called or when it’s going to rain. With notifications
on the smarthalo.
I think
a smartbike is such a cool thing to have. It has GPS, it records what you’re
doing, it’s a light, an alarm and gives you notifications about calls and the
weather. I actually expect that we will all have such a system in the future.
It makes cycling easier, safer and more fun.
Easier,
because it thinks for you. It will find the fastest and safest way to your
destination and will give you instructions on the way. Safer, because you don’t
have to look at your phone for the route or notifications. Besides that it will
protect your bike against thieves. And more fun because of the tracking. You
can see everything about you ride, set goals beforehand and compare with
friends. I also think it can encourage a lot of people to go cycling which
makes it a very healthy product.
This so
called smarthalo has a lot to do with the trend Togetherness & Inline. You
have the opportunity to keep track of yourself and your activities. The
smarthalo will even upload all your information to your smartphone, for easy access.
Besides that it will make sure you won’t
miss a call or notification when you’re cycling through the city. So you can
stay in touch with your loved ones, or your boss…
