Smart Cites, Smart Bikes

A lead Chinese information technology company just announced that their first smart bike will be on the market next month and the retail price will be RMB943, around AUD 200.

The bike will be called “Rockfeller No.1”. It looks exact the same as a normal bike, however it is smarter. It has statics numbering, routes sharing, GPS, incoming call remind, Bluetooth and social activities. The bike’s sensor is as simple as fitbit pedometer, but it can sync to your smart phone and then it becomes a fully functional smart bike.  The most exciting part is that you don’t need to recharge the battery and it will be recharged automatically by pedalling.

As well known, many smart bikes are on the market now.
