Chinese company LeEco wants to take on the cyclists’ troubles with its Super Bike. This bike comes with a GPS system, media center, fingerprint scanner, smart locks and intercom system. Like a car, it also has turn signals, head and tail lights, and a horn. And get this: It packs side lasers to mark a personal bike lane for riders.
The Super Bike won’t solve all of your problems. Road hazards will always be out there, and bad guys too. The bicycle’s rear wheel can lock itself, but thieves can still outsmart the device the old-fashioned way, by simply carrying it off. With a device attached as powerful and valuable as the phone in your pocket, the smart bicycle could even become a bigger target.
Luckily, if it is stolen, LeEco’s bicycle comes with a location tracker to find where it went off to.
