the companion app for the smartphone tracks extensive metrics and sets goals. the data is visualized using effective info-graphs, and a color coded layout makes operating the app simple and easy. the most fitting feature of the ‘smarthalo’ is the unlocking system that doesn’t require a smartphone at all. the touch sensitive display enables finger tapping, where riders can create custom tap codes, similar to morse code, making it virtually uncrackable. the cyclelabs ‘smarthalo’ is looking for funding with a kickstarter campaign and plan to ship to customers in may, 2016.
