While there are now plenty of bike lights, helmet lights and turn indicators to choose from, they're usually all independently operated. The Aura system is different, in that it wirelessly coordinates multiple lights for better nighttime visibility.
-
For many bicycle commuters, painful shin scrapes caused by pedal strikes are just an unavoidable part of cycling. They might not have to be, however, if the designers of the rubber-bodied Bumper Pedals have anything to say about it.
-
Given the fact that many ebikes can travel at speeds of up to 28 mph (45 km/h) with little rider effort, should those riders be wearing special helmets? The folks at French startup The Beam seem to think so, which is why they created the Virgo.
-
Although carrying a little dog in your bicycle's front basket may look kinda cute, it's definitely not the safest of setups – for the pooch or for you. That's where the Kvisp comes in, as it's a bike-mounted carrier designed specifically for dogs.
-
While there's no substitute for a big, burly, ultra-secure bike lock in high-theft-risk scenarios, sometimes a lighter, more compact lock is a bit more practical. That's where the Abus CombiFlex TravelGuard is designed to come in.
-
If you're going out on a bike ride directly from your home, your keys are just one more thing you have to bring along and stuff in a pocket. The Doormate offers an alternative (for cyclists with garages), as it's a bike-mounted garage door remote.
-
While there are now a huge number of bike headlights on the market, most of them take the form of a box that sits on the handlebars. The Center Light is different, in that it has a more classic low-profile look while still packing high-tech features.
-
Bike helmets with built-in LED turn indicators may be kinda cool, but most of them are activated via a handlebar-mounted remote control. The Gamel helmet is different, in that its indicators are triggered by the tilting of your head.
-
There are now a number of ebikes equipped with radar systems which warn riders of vehicles approaching from behind. If your bike isn't among those, you can now change that by slapping on Garmin's Varia eRTL615 radar/tail light module.
-
Although ebikes are generally thought of as a green form of transportation, most are made of materials with a fairly large carbon footprint. The Multipath is a bit different, in that its frame is made of recycled plastic and alloy.
-
While there are bicycle helmets with built-in radio communication systems, they do end up replacing what are otherwise perfectly good helmets. The Punks system is an alternative, as it adds wireless comms to bike helmets of pretty much any kind.
-
While some companies make ebikes which come off as being like regular bikes, others revel in the whole "this is the bike that Tron might ride" thing. Taiwanese company OKGO has really gone in for the latter, with its carbon-framed Smart E-Bike.
