Overview
Back in 2013, our first crowdfunding campaign raised over £100 000 to launch BIKEHUD The Worlds first augmented vision product developed specifically for motorbikes. BIKEHUD works! With its rearview camera and built-in GPS, BIKEHUD eliminates those distracting glances in the mirror or having to look down to check speed. It means you always keep your focus where it should be - the road ahead. And it does all of this without you having to replace your existing helmet!

  

 

 

 

As a concept BIKEHUD was formed in 2010. As a ‘mature’ rider I was aware of the time taken to focus/refocus between the road ahead and the instrumentation. Half the time my mirrors showed only my shoulders or vibrated so much they were unusable.  Each time I checked, I was riding blind. There had to be a better way!

Following a successful crowdfunding campaign raising over £100 000, our original BIKEHUD was launched at the UK’s Bike Show 'Motorcycle Live' in November 2013 and started shipping early January 2014.

BIKEHUD has sold worldwide, ridden many thousands of miles by riders of all experiences on bikes of all styles. We've received volumes of feedback as to how to improve the original BIKEHUD.

Five years on we introduce the all-new BIKEHUD. It's smaller. It has a SERIOUS battery life. and if you know what a screwdriver looks like you can fit it in minutes. The new BIKEHUD delivers so much more while giving the rider choices of using as much or as little as he needs. Above all BIKEHUD riders focus on their ride, not on the tech.

  

 

Testing of our 3rd and final iteration electronics is underway. Final designs of the plastics are still being thrashed out and the commencement of manufacture of the core product is on-schedule; with the first 100 units shipping in early December 2019. Shipping for the balance of products sold through our Perks Program will commence in February 2020. 

Our phone App is at the design stage with a Beta release expected November 2019. The final release is scheduled for March 2020. Initial functionality will include:-

  • GPS Navigator provides simple concise turn by turn information.
  • Who is calling alert - If an incoming caller is in your phone directory BIKEHUD will let you know who is calling you otherwise the number is displayed.
  • Configuration of BIKEHUD - e.g. speed units, which side of the road is ridden etc

Electronics for our OBDII Device that clips into the CanBus diagnostic socket on your bike is currently undergoing testing.  Each motorcycle model needs to be mapped to ensure BIKEHUD understands what each signal is.  Creation of a library of motorcycles throughout the world will commence once testing is complete. Release of the OBD device is scheduled for June 2020 once the library contains the most popular motorcycle models. 

Initially, the OPDII device will relay 4 items of data to BIKEHUD:-

  • Indicator warning
  • Gear position
  • Engine Revs
  • Fuel warning

PLEASE NOTE:- While all motorcycles manufactured after 2002 will have a diagnostic socket, not all will have the OBDII format. Display functionality is very much dependent on the make, model and year of your motorcycle. 

BIKEHUD is flexible so are a number of ways in which you can get your hands on BIKEHUD to match your pocket, needs and riding style. The guide below will explain the contents of each Perk and what the functionality will include

    The original BIKEHUD idea and the continuation of the dream are driven by the desire of a few individuals to make a difference. The interface between rider, machine and her/ his surroundings hasn’t changed since the first motorcycle rolled out of the shed where it was built.  In 2019 there is a better way. Back in 2010, we believed so much in motorcycle HUD technology that we put everything we had into making the dream a reality. In 2019 we are putting everything we have left into making the reality mainstream.

    The new BIKEHUD is no longer the dream of a few. It is the culmination of all the ideas of a community of like-minded individuals with a common love of motorbikes.

    If you are as passionate about motorbikes as we are then please check-out our Perks. We have some incredible opportunities that mean you’ll be able you get your hands on a BIKEHUD sooner than anyone else at a considerable discount from the rrp.

    You may not ride yourself but have a loved one that you are struggling what to get them this Christmas or you are looking to keep them safe in the new riding season. A BIKEHUD Perk is a fantastic opportunity to achieve both.

    Maybe you neither ride nor have someone close who rides. You can help too. You can help too. We would ask you to spread the word. We are in this for the long-haul and any help you can provide in spreading the word, sat on a train, talking to your mates in the pub, filling up at a gas station or via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram would be an incredible help.

    However, you can help no matter how small is helping to turn a 10-year dream into a reality

    Risks & Challenges

    Having raised funding via crowd-funding before to design and manufacture the first BIKEHUD clearly we have the experience to do it all again. That said we are not resting on our laurels. We've identified and mitigated a number of risks that may have caused delays. We list these as follows:-

    Risk

    Resolution

    General, natural slides between the end of the campaign and shipping.

    We will be shipping the first batches of BIKEHUD just 10 weeks or so from the close of the campaign. This is significantly shorter than many campaigns that often take years to complete. We’ve already done most of the work BEFORE our campaign launch. While it would be foolish to say we’ve resolved every risk, by working through many of the research & design processes before-hand we have substantially reduced the likelihood of delays simply by reducing the potential problems yet to be discovered.

    Delays as a result of Product electronics.

    There is simply no substitute for putting the time in to test test and test. The reason why we can say that the electronics do what we say they do is quite simply because we have already manufactured and tested them. The electronics are finished and now need to be manufactured in volume

    Delays as a result of electronic component shortages

    For any manufacturer of consumer electronics availability of key components can change almost daily. Where it has been practical we have secured batches of key components for the initial manufacture which means delays as a result of component shortage is highly unlikely

    Delays as a result of industrial design (casing/ plastic manufacture)

    Traditionally products like BIKEHUD are manufactured using injection moulding. This process has many months lead-in to incorporate the design & manufacture of the tooling and the follow-on manufacture slots. BIKEHUD is utilising the very latest manufacturing techniques.

    We are using a combination of the latest sla 3D printing technology and carbon-fibre infused resin casting. The processes are the same as those used in Formula 1 car production or modern aircraft manufacture. Utilising these technologies means we can substantially shorten lead-in times from months to days.

    App Development

    While the development of the App has yet to start we have a high degree of confidence that we will meet our development targets as what we are doing is simple in software terms. The emphasis is to create a package that is simple to develop, easy to use and VERY reliable.
