Ali we need the haptic system to be updated so it can work! Please help!
Jeffrey Ward Jeff do you own a bike as well???
I notice there are a variety of anti-theft devices that use bluetooth and other riders to find stolen bikes. However, given that these will be rare, at least at first, the chance of someone riding one happening to ride by your stolen one seems slim. Wonder if there is any prospect of merging all these lost bike networks together?
999 dollar? fucking hell..
I guess they target specific people, with specific budgets.
In fact is cheap, carbon bikes from company like cube, trek, giant sale for around 2.5k minimum without any electric on it but fox fork, abs brakr and stuff but is not expensiv for game changer
sky is the limit :P
It is so cheap for carbon bike.
The frame is full carbon fiber. This bike is a steal if the quality is what it is claimed to be. At a shop, a full carbon fiber bike starts at around $1500, MIN.
Not to mention the awesome electronics on it, which I can't really vouch for though.
I thought this was electric...fuck. Now I have to go back to finding out how to buy a FUCKING smart bike! Can't find it online anywhere!
Is it ANT+ compatible
you only have a break for the front wheel, so at a high speed or a downhill ride it´s very dangerous. it might catapult you over the bike if you have to slowdown quikly. Not the right way to make a light-weight bike...better get rid of the electronics
>not learning how to shift weight
toppest kek
If you can't learn how not to vault over the handlebars when braking with the front brake you need help. The front brake is the most effective because it stops you faster. I'm assuming the bike is also a fixie so you can brake by backpedaling.
Awesome!
Why no proper break?
Brake, learn how to spell.
There is a brake, it’s just not shown on this prototype.
I ordered the more expensive brake option.
so the anti theft thing is reliant on there being hundreds of their bikes being there to detect it - FAIL
The company went bust in 2016.
if your not paying attention to your blindspot your not responsible en"ough to ride without"daddy" . carbon fiber is very overrated and not very comfortable.your stolen bicycle is probably being riden by someone you would not want to confront.
