The world's first ever bicycle that notifies its owner when it is stolen
and also records on a daily basis the speed, route, incline and calories burnt
of every single bike trip has arrived.
French start-up Connected Cycle is
all set to unveil to the world the first connected pedal that prevents bike
theft.
Founded in 2013 in Paris,
Connected Cycle is a French start-up creating innovating products for enhancing
bike experience. The high-tech equipment instantly notifies the bike owner if
the bike is moved and allows it to be located any time. The technology also
shows where the bike last parked. These statistics are sent to the cloud and
made available to users through the Connected Cycle application available on
smartphones.
The pedal is totally
self-governing, able to generate its own energy and using its own Internet
connection. There is no need to charge a battery or carry your smartphone
during trips. Installation takes less than two minutes and doesn't require any
mechanical skills. However the pedal can only be removed using a special coded
key that only the bike owner possesses.
The pedals have in-built sensors
that spot when a bicycle has been nabbed and can report where it has been
taken.
Now this is some really cool technology. Really cool.
