Ridekick trailer makes any bike electric
you hook it up to your back wheel and it trails you on your bike, so that part is right, but you don't pull it. Instead, it pushes you. Inside the Ridekick is a 500 watt motor (just under one horsepower) along with a twelve amp-hour rechargeable battery plus spare room for groceries and whatnot. A handlebar-mounted control cable lets you adjust the throttle as you see fit, and with a top speed of about 20 mph and a range of up to 12 miles

[alert for the squeamish - look away]

At least the zipper is on the back. Still bearing (mental) scars from childhood romper suit pyjama zipper malfunction involving a certain part of the male anatomy. Plenty of blood and tears, but I narrowly avoided home-circumcision...:eek:

Helios%20handlebars.jpg

Welcome to the age of the smartbike
The Helios handlebars, now on Kickstarter, are capable of making any bike smart. Armed with a super-bright headlamp, color-changing blinkers and a GPS tracker, these handlebars will make your bike safer — no matter where it is. And those features are just the tip of the pedal-powered iceberg.
Helios handlebars can connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone, allowing you to customize your biking experience. From your phone you can coordinate the colors of your blinkers, have your bike's lights pop on when you approach, and even set a color-changing visual speedometer. When the speedometer is turned on, the twin, rear-facing blinker bulbs shine red when traveling slowly, yellow then green when accelerating, and blue when you hit the neighborhood of 35 MPH.

The same lights, when acting as turn signals, are push-button activated — blinking for five seconds when tapped. And the most basic of features, the headlamp, is a CREE LED bulb which can output 500 lumens, five times the brightness of the average bike light. Helios is still in the works, but you can reserve an advance set of handlebars (in either drop or bullhorn style) over on the project's Kickstarter page for a cool 200 bucks, plus shipping.
