This Device Will Turn Your Bike into a Smart Bike
SmartHalo is a smart biking device designed for urban cyclists. The device attaches to the handlebars of any bicycle and, once paired with your smartphone, acts as a visual navigation guide, complete with turn-by-turn signaling.
It has a simple green lighting prompt, connected via Bluetooth to the app on your smartphone, allowing you to keep the handset in your pocket as you follow the color-coded navigation guides on the device.
In addition to serving as a visual guide, the device also connects with the smartphone app to provide biking statistics, including distance traveled, average speed and calories burned.
The device also automatically detects nightfall, at which point it turns on a front-mounted headlamp.
SmartHalo, which will retail for $149, is available for $99 for early adopters via a Kickstarter campaign.
