COBI bicycle system
The COBI bicycle system enhances the rider's experience through a range of digital capabilities.
The smart connected ‘COBI‘ bicycle system enhances rider’s experience by making every journey more rewarding and fun. The device starts with an interchangeable 200g mount case colored in black or silver, that holds the user’s smartphone on the handlebars. The attached mobile contains the ‘COBI’ software to add over 100 advanced technology features, that joins the cyclist to the world by enabling them to call friends, listen to music and check weather forecasts. Other combined apps allow them to track fitness data such as heart-rate, cadence and calories, and observe real-time information like speed, time, distance and climb rate. Another helpful addition is the modern navigation system that signals turn-by-turn directions, voice-overs, 2D & 3D views, bike lanes, popular routes and a buddy radar, which all aid the rider to travel easily between their destinations.
