Want... Letv.com, a leading video website in China, has teamed up with Tianjin-based bicycle maker Flying Pigeon to produce a "Super Bicycle" to be released in July, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Commercial Times.
After releasing its super car, super smartphone and super television, the website's sports department announced its collaboration with Flying Pigeon on Thursday.
Sources related to the website say the bicycle's appearance was inspired by images of birds flying at full speed. Its system includes functions such as a music player, emergency call capability, timer and navigation system. The two companies have added several extra functions such as social networking, rider data, smart control and smart anti-theft lock.
The bicycle is said to be able to provide the rider with real-time data such as heart rate, blood pressure and pulse as well as speed and distance via built-in tools. It can also suggest the best route via its display as well as via rider's connected smartphone.
The bike has standard bike features such as a headlight and tail light, as well as turn indicators. Its smart lock will produce a loud noise and pass the bicycle's current location information to its owner if a person tries to ride it without passing its ID verification system.
