A Distress Signal for Your Bike
Not your average taillight.
It’s natural to feel a little separation anxiety after stashing your bike outside. But with the FAST taillight, you can stop worrying. The Bluetooth-powered smart device sends you mobile alerts if anyone tries to tamper with your ride.
Designed by a group of engineers (and cycling enthusiasts) in Shenzhen, China, FAST detects sudden movements or shocks to the bike, which could indicate a crash or theft. Once the bike is locked and an alarm set using the FAST app, any unauthorized movement will trigger a sound/LED alarm and generate a notification on your smartphone. In the event of a crash, the app notifies your emergency contact automatically, even if you’re not physically able to.
