The GiBike is Equipped with Smartphone Integration
Jamie Danielle Munro — March 21, 2014 — Tech
The GiBike is a fully connected mode of transportation, with the ability to track one's GPD as well as staying in the know by hooking up to sites like Facebook and Twitter. To add to these already awesome features, the designs also allows the bike to fold up too, in case users need to store it in tight spaces.
Considering most people turn to their smartphones hundreds of times per day, inventing a bike that makes this process so accessible is a smart move. That way users will never be out of the know, and have the ability to constantly share their experiences on the bike with family and friends (also a useful form of marketing for the GiBike company).
