Top 3 Future Bike Technologies We’d Like To See

Graphene Bike

Regular carbon is old hat these days. Sure, it’s brilliant for making those laterally stiff, vertically compliant bikes we all froth over, but the basic concept of laying up carbon with epoxy hasn’t changed all that much in recent years.The one-carbon-atom-thick wonder material graphene appeared on the scene a few years ago promising to revolutionise everything, but we’re still waiting for it to take over in bikes.
UK brand Dassi has already made a graphene road bike called the Interceptor. This incorporates the material in the resin that binds the carbon together, producing a stronger frame for a given weight.
The process is much the same as for standard carbon bikes and its designers reckon a 500g aero frame is achievable.
Graphene also has conductive properties that could be exploited in the creation of frames with some sort of built-in intelligence. The possibilities are intriguing….

 Self-cleaning bikes

Imagine if you never had to clean your bike, ever again. How amazing would that be? Various non-stick and water-repellent coatings have been around for years, so why couldn’t we have them on our bikes?  Back in 2014 Nissan treated a car with something called Ultra Ever Dry, and it seemed like mud just wouldn’t stick to it. The problem with such coatings is that they need regular application to work, so they’re not really a labour saving.
A permanent non-stick finish for bikes would be a godsend for winter riding, and what a difference it would make in cyclocross
Washing bikes in winter is an unpleasant task, and one that can actually damage your pride and joy if you do it wrong and blast water into your bearings.
The bike of the future might just need a quick shake for a


Magnetorheological suspension

Modern mountain bike suspension is pretty incredible, combining light weight with truly impressive performance. At the moment, on-the-fly adjustments tend to be limited to climbing lock-outs and the like, but what if you could precisely adjust damping as you ride?
Fox’s never-quite-available Live Valve promises to offer something along these lines, but what we’d really like to see is a true magnetorheological damping setup as found on certain supercars such as the Audi R8. 
Magnetorheological systems use a damping fluid containing tiny magnetic particles, whose behaviour can be controlled by electromagnets.
By precise adustment of a magnetic field, the viscosity of the fluid can be altered.
In practice, that means you could radically adjust the feel of your suspension with the flick of a switch, or a computer could manage its behaviour for optimum performance.
Like electronic gears, such a system would need to be powered, and that brings us to our final piece of tech…

Super China Technology in 2020 Fintech In China, economic generation is booming. Global funding in fintech ventures more than doubled in 2018, to $fifty five.Three billion, with China accounting for around forty six% of that determine, in keeping with Accenture.

Alipay and Tencent-owned WeChat Pay may be used all over the country from huge department shops to street stalls.   Smartphones Chinese firms at the moment are some of the biggest within the international. Three out of the pinnacle five phone companies are Chinese with Huawei sitting at wide variety two. Chinese telephone-makers have for years been accused of copying the likes of Apple with regards to cellphone designs. But in the pa...

The 3 Technologies That Will Change Marketing Forever  Big Data There is an extraordinary growth of records underway. In fact, 90 percent of all of the facts within the world became generated in the past few years. Big facts may be invaluable for commercial enterprise. We presently have about 30 zettabytes of data within the world (we create extra statistics in a minute from TVs, watches, and other linked devices than was comprised of the beginning of time till the year 2000). This wide variety is expected to grow to 175 zettabytes with the aid of 2025. While there is lots of hype about huge records, there is no doubt it is justified. Not best can we extract important meaning from the statistics that is created each moment, but we additionally now have gadget studying that could boost up the analysis and insights from the facts to make it actionable.   Smart Devices Another huge trend at the moment is the range of clever, linked gadgets that we name the Internet of Things (IoT...
