  • features i miss in bikes ?

    i'm a die hard fan of james bond movies so this paved way for raising these kind of questions here and i have always day dream of ultra facilities be provided on bikes.
    my dream would one day come true . but for now some reasonable expectations are given below
    1. mobile charging provision
    2. hybrid motors usage
    3. usage of solar energy
    4. cooler facility under the front or rear seats to store cool drink or a water bottle
    5.automatic brake force distribution and automatic brake sensors to stop vehicle when it nears another vehicle
    6. traction control while riding in rainy conditions
    7.engine temperature, outside temperature,drag velocity,sprint timer, fuel efficiency and next fuel stop.... list goes on
    8.suspension setting located near central console , at least 4 different suspension settings
    9.fuel usage settings in engine control unit, at least 3 different fuel usage settings. a) effeciency setting b) sports setting c) hybrid setting

    the above list out is just a few drops in the ocean of demands. everyone pour in your ideas and contibute more.
    kindly put up at least 5 of ur ideas which can be used in forth coming bikes
    "dont put up a idea which is not feasible for at least 10 years from now"


    i have also flagged a pole above this thread on, which bike manufacturer gives u the maximum equipment or goodies loaded with ur bike

    your friendly biker,

                    I don't want much from a bike...

                    A music system and a GPS will do for me...

                          Well sure.

                          Mobile charging socket is as simple as buying the "cigarette lighter charger" used in cars, and install it on the bike.

                          For the cooler here's the story -

                          For our 45 day long trip, I was interested in somehow getting cool water while on the move. If you would know, the cars have cool storage and coolers. These works on thermoelectric cooling.

                          The Heatsink Guide - Peltier cooler information

                          I had bought a Peltier cooler for 1200 bucks. Sandwiched between two heatsinks, with a exhaust fan on the heating side, installed at the base of Plastic Bottle. Covered it with a layer of thermocol, with a wire net covering the bottle, transferring the cold from the heat sinks to the whole bottle.

                          Although it worked, but was not cooling the bottle enough, Lack of time made me leave the project!

                            You have done some pretty interesting projects! If you have done any other projects, please tell us about them too...
                            Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

                              ha ha.. Well electronics is my hobby, just that! tried doing many innovative projects, for bikes, some them included -

                              (1) Automatic Cigarette Lighter - Something I just thought off. I don't smoke, but my friend does. I used get quiet irritated with his frequent fag breaks. So thought, what If the guy and inhale the fags via pipe, light them with a switch and can enjoy on the move without letting the hands off!

                              (2) Cooler on the move - Cooling/Heating water on bike! As explained.
                              (3) Mobile Charger/USB Charger/Inverter on Bike
                              (4) 9 years back, Automatic illuminated storage space of My Kinetic NOVA- that was way before scoots incorporated lights in under seat storage!
                              (5) Half Duplex Motorcycle Intercom
                              (6) Low battery indicator - way back in 1999!
                              (7) Heated Riding Gloves/Jacket
                              (8) Cooled Helmet

                              And the most outrageous
                              (9) Night Vision Riding Heads Up Display- Seriously!
