In a series of American things I’m too European to understand, we have the rearview radar for bicycles.
Think Mad Max, but he’s on a bicycle and everyone else has cars: That’s right, it’s so hostile we need radar for incoming threats.
Neat, but I think I’ll just stick with my blinky light. lol
Blinky lights and mirrors have been my go to, but these radars do seem pretty cool.
Rearview radar? That is some fun fanciness! If it’s very reliable I could see myself getting hooked on that feature.
Is there a way to make this thing work with a dynamo hub? Like a shared battery for onboard electronics that the dynamo charges? Or to connect it to an e-bike battery?
With a soldering iron, probably yes. In the meantime - you can always grab a Mirrycle!
Hah, I have that exact mirror on my recumbent trike. Good stuff!
I’d also recommend Cateye mirrors if you wanted something smaller, I have their bar end mirrors on my folder and they’re fantastic for their size!
As far as I know, it runs off it’s own battery, but you could probably connect the charger to a USB port if your bike has one. Not sure if it runs connected or not though.
