Don't underestimate smart bikes, it will be like smart watch, bracelet

Bicycles, the traditional and sophisticated means of transport will soon be under the tide of intelligence to usher in the "second spring."

This week, a foreign hardware project called Urb-e made me crazy, a smart bike designed for the last few miles. Like the GI Bike, Denny, which was reported before 36 Krypton, they all touched my nerves from the first look and design.

In the process of chatting with Urb-e's founder Grant Delgatty, I was more convinced of the potential for an explosion in the seemingly familiar but unfamiliar field of smart bicycles.

Why do we need a smart bike?

To be honest, smart bikes are always a "Ishing" feeling of helplessness in the Chere of smart cars. We should talk about the meaning of smart bikes without denying the former's imagination to change the world.

There's no denying that the penetration of cars is far less "magical" than you might think, compared to bikes and electric cars. In other words, it is the key to the problem of how to upgrade my riding equipment for those who are running on the bike lane. In fact, you'll find that this is almost like a few years ago when people moved from a feature machine to a smartphone, and they all needed a clear reason.

Efficiency, system and design, which is probably why I think people think they want to swap out a smart bike.

For example, URB-E's product is designed to allow users to have a mobile tool to go where they want even in the most congested environments. This seemingly vague definition is in fact a description of the basic necessity of efficiency for people's daily lives. Quite simply, most people who buy electric cars are "fast".

The system may be relatively empty, and you can understand how smart bikes are able to gather these dispersed users in the context of a mature bicycle industry chain. At present, whether from URB-E, Gi bike or even Toyota Winglet, Honda Uni-cub did not see the molding system.

Design？ Doubt。 This may be the most difficult problem for product designers in the 21st century, but it is also the most able to make the consumer group produce "intracranial climax" embodiment. And let us gratified that the current foreign intelligent bicycle projects are people feel the design-oriented product driving force.

design, design, or design

URB-E founder Grant Delgatty is a designer, he believes that the iconic design can impress the user, and strong brand awareness, integrated application technology as a whole, the formation of product barriers.

I have to say, the first batch of people who buy the iphone is nothing but two kinds of people, geek and pursuing a different person. Yes, the second spring of smart bikes is still the same.

Geek aside, their sensitivity to new things is much more than you and I expected. For those who seek to be different, cool, stylish, fresh is always synonymous with them. In my opinion, the three bikes mentioned at the beginning of this article should be satisfied.

But the question is, what kind of design will make the "handful" pay?

Appearance。 Well, that's the nature of the purchase. Remember, this piece of design is a style.

function。 Yes, this is the premise of the purchase. Yes, this piece of design beats cool.

Significance。 Well, that's the effect of buying. Yes, this piece of design catches fresh.

The smart-bike killer company is here.

Baidu is developing unmanned bicycles, which has long been no secret. But for the truly huge smart-bike market, killer companies have arrived.

It is rumored that millet and music as the research and development of the smart bicycle products, you may ask, they do smart bicycles, and just those companies of the products have any difference?

According to the judgment, these two company's products all chose the OEM the form to cooperate with the traditional bicycle manufacturer, the millet, the music regards provides each family's system and the experience, but the hardware is all outsourced. Functionally, their products may have similar monitoring mechanisms to the bracelet, such as recording your day's ride distance, calculating the calories consumed, and combining the smart bike with the phone or other smart hardware to summarize the data and provide a reasonable set of health recommendations.

Although the above two companies have not officially released smart bike products, but can be expected to be smart bicycles, it will be smart watch, hand ring, like the intelligent "second spring."

Seriously, if you can ride the URB-E to work, think still very windy.
