Wink Bar is a connected handlebar designed for every urban cyclist. Suitable for every model, it turns your bike into a smart bike. Benefit from the intuitive navigation system, which will suggest the most convenient route to easily reach your destination.Geolocate your bike in real time thanks to its incredible tracking technology. You can now park your bike safe in the knowledge that even in case of theft, you can retrieve it anywhere in the world.Ride safely during the day and night, thanks to its smart lighting system. Consult your statistics, add new routes and benefit from the awesome services of the Wink mobile app.

 

Enter your destination on your smartphone, tuck it away and follow the lights. The indicators will flash to tell you when to turn so you can enjoy your ride in safety. They’ll even notify you if you have an incoming call or text message, rather than you needing to check your phone while cycling.


 


 

Bike theft is a major problem, but with Wink Bar, you can park securely in the knowledge that should it get lost or stolen, you can follow and find your bike anywhere in the world, thanks to its integrated GPS system. The Wink Bar is also equipped with an alarm to discourage theft, and should it be stolen, the tracking system automatically turns on so you get live notifications of its location. You can unlock your Wink Bar using your smartphone or individual VelcoTag, a secure system that means only you can use your bike without permission.


 

With Wink Bar’s smart lighting system, you can cycle from day to night safely and with ease. Benefit from its super bright flashlights, which switch on and off automatically depending on the amount of daylight.

Our goal is to offer a solution for cyclists all around the world to make their cycling experience safer and more pleasant. 

We believe that biking is the future of urban transportation and that is why we have created the Wink Bar, integrating the best technology on the market.

 

 

 

 

Velco is more than a team of 8 people. We’re lucky enough to work with over 30 partners who are specialists in a range of fields, including technical, commercial, legal, financial and in business development.

Below are some of the partners that we’ve had the pleasure of working with. We would like to thank them for their ongoing support:

 



Velco started 2 ½ years ago, and since the idea for the Wink Bar was born, we’ve tackled a range of challenges, from technological to mechanical and design. Thanks to some early funding, we’ve already done all the research and development needed to get us to our current stage: an industrial prototype and a fully functional mobile app.

We already have a great team in place who have worked night and day to be able to bring you the best cycling solution. We’re also already in contract with international distributors and leading bike manufacturers, and our suppliers are some of the biggest players in the automotive and aeronautic fields. By working with a great network of trusted partners that truly believe in our innovation and see the value in working with us, we’ve reduced the risk of there being manufacturing delays.


This campaign is the final step to put Wink Bar on the market and make it a reality for cyclists everywhere.

 



We need your support to start shipping our product and make Wink Bar a reality for cyclists all around the world.

We want to join forces with the community of bike lovers and would love to get your advice and feedback.

Thanks to your support we will be able to continue work with the leading distributors and raise awareness of the Wink Bar, making our dream a reality.

L’aventure Velco a commencée il y a 2 ans et demi. Depuis l’idée du guidon connecté, nous avons surmonté de nombreux challenges, allant du design, à l’éléctronique ou encore à la mécanique. Grâce à une première levée de fonds, nous avons déjà réalisé la R&D nécessaire pour pouvoir vous proposer cette solution primée à de multiples reprises par les organismes les plus prestigieux en France et à l’International.

Aujourd’hui nous avons un prototype industriel fonctionnel et une application mobile entièrement développée. Il ne nous reste plus qu’à lancer la production !

Nous avons déjà une super équipe qui a travaillé nuit et jour pour vous proposer la meilleure solution sur le marché. Nous sommes déjà en relation commerciale avec les plus grands fabricants de vélos à l'international, ce qui nous permet de réduire les risques pour notre lancement commercial.

Cette campagne est la dernière étape pour mettre Wink Bar sur le marché et en faire une réalité pour les cyclistes du monde entier.

 


Nous suscitons votre aide afin de lancer la production et la livraison de notre solution.

Nous souhaitons unir nos forces avec la communauté des amoureux du vélo et serions ravis d’avoir vos avis et recommandations.
