Helios Bars
Helios Bars are smart bicycle handlebars which integrate GPS tracking, Bluetooth connectivity, and rear LEDs that function like turn signals on a car.〔(Our Favorite Startups From China-Based Hardware Accelerator Haxlr8r’s Second Demo Day )〕 The device is made by Helios Biking, a hardware start-up based in San Francisco, California.〔(Helios Bars: The Arrival of the Smart Bike )〕
The handlebars can be remotely controlled via a smartphone app when connected to a Bluetooth Low Energy (4.0) enabled smartphone. This allows them to be switched between a visual speedometer mode where the rear LEDs change color based on your speed,〔(With Horns and Lasers, Fighting to Be Noticed )〕 and a turn-by-turn navigation mode where the rear LEDs guide you to a destination by blinking left or right when a turn is approaching.〔(Helios handlebars add LED blinkers, GPS and more to any bike (hands-on) )〕 Additionally, turn signals, or "blinkers," can be activated by pressing a tactile button on either side of the stem.〔
==Development==
The design for Helios Bars started with a concept by Kenneth Gibbs illustrating a set of handlebars that contained integrated lighting.〔(Smart Handlebars Give Any Bicycle A Bluetooth Brain Transplant )〕 Gibbs pitched the idea to his college roommates, Antonio Belmontes and Seena Zandipour, who helped him refine the concept and start prototyping. Together they founded Helios Biking and successfully took their idea through the HAXLR8R hardware start-up incubator based out of Shenzhen, China.〔(New GPS-Powered Handlebars Send Texts to Your Bike )〕 Being in Shenzhen allowed them to rapidly iterate between prototypes & complete their R&D in just under 4 months. According to Helios co-founder Seena Zandipour, "We underestimated ourselves. Within the first week, we had the prototype completed."〔
