We’ve all ridden a bike before but never in the way iCradle, Inc. has envisioned. iCradle has announced the launch of a new product that can be installed on any bicycle to transform it into a smart bike that offers the user a fully integrated experience.
Meet the COBI. An all-in-one smart biking system designed to make the biking experience even more enjoyable. COBI gives a bicycle a single piece of hardware that allows for fully functional headlights and brake lights. It also offers a fully integrated weather system or a GPS navigational system that be installed on any old bike. By using a smartphone, users will have the ability to check their speed, distance, and cadence, all thanks to the many apps available on the COBI.
The smart system is also boasting exclusive features such as a security system that can only be unlocked through the use of the owner’s smartphone as well as a battery pack for charging one’s phone. Not only that, the COBI aims to be future-proof with a design to evolve with hardware and software updates, so there is no worry about being left behind by the latest new gadget.
As of now, a Kickstater campaign is up until January 1, 2015 in hopes of raising $100,00 from backers, who will be able to get a COBI system at $159 if they back the campaign. With a price point of $159, COBI can be a great technological addition to any bicycle.
