Even though we don't write often, we are constantly working on BikeOn and are on track to start sales of the first small batch early 2020. So, here are some updates about current stage of development and our achievements.

First of all, we have launched a new website! Be sure to check it out: www.bikeon.com - we have great pictures that show BikeOn in all its beauty :)
  
If you are waiting for demo rides, we are on track to have them in SF Bay Area early next year. So if you are not in our mailing list yet, be sure to subscribe at our website :)

We have a lot of updates to share with you:

⚡️ We've set up the supply chain and are finishing evaluating samples from them, so we are almost ready to start the first batch production.

⚡️ Our battery manufacturing partner has delivered the first two samples of a battery pack (see the pictures and let us know what you think). We are really pleased with their work and level of cooperation. Currently we are testing the batteries to make sure they are fully operational and reliable.

⚡️ We updated firmware to include Bluetooth phone connection, added firmware update option through the phone, and added a few more safety features. Several firmware functions are under test and may require further update and work.

⚡️ We have started working on a mobile software (an app that would allow to set the level of assistance and receive information about your ride).

⚡️ On a mechanical side, we have improved the design which you might have seen previously, to the level of production. Don't worry, no major visual changes. BikeOn will look the same way as on the pictures from the website, and the same as you might have seen it on Maker Faire.

We would really love getting any feedback from you. So, please, if you have any questions, concerns, or any thoughts, let us know :)

We also post updates on our YouTube channel, so be sure to check it and subscribe :)
