Congratulations you invented a rearviewmirror. When car brands make bikes they almost always end up producing bike shaped objects whose main purpose is advertising a car. Just look at the Ford Bronco electric bike for another example.

Ford finally made a reliable way to get home.

VW has done this before with the Trek Golf/Jetta.

They sell bikes from other makers at a premium and some sell, but mostly they are hoarded by VW collectors who want every accessory for whichever model they own. That said, N+ seems to only make e-bikes for other non-bike brands to market or greenwash with.

Seems to currently only sell F1 Mercedes branded bikes.

Tech bros reinvent the mirror

Or just turning your head

finally, we've invented a mirror that requires electricity to function

I like both.

Yup, it's not like a bike has a blind spot.

camera between the handlebars

The camera right in front of your crotch?

And looking backward, like a decent rear view camera should?

Surprise, surprise, no, just a wrong news headline.

What use is putting the camera between the handlebars? Did they put a screen under the seat like some kid's "license plate," too?

[-] markz@suppo.fi 1 points 15 hours ago

Who doesn't want a view of their crotch while riding?

It’s opposite of that; camera is on the mud guard, display is between the handle bars.

n+ describes Smart View as the first fully integrated digital rear-view camera on an eBike. A camera and radar unit built into the rear mudguard watch approaching vehicles; when traffic enters range, the system can activate the rear image on the 3.5-inch display and issue a blind-spot warning.

So you can watch the brodozer about to run you down?

Yes, I figured that was the case. I'm poking fun at the poor writing. But thank you for covering that just in case I truly was lost.

Anyone who’s tried to use a handlebar mirror knows they shake so much you have to grab them to see anything. This seems like an elegant solution, I hope they didn’t patent it. A motion stabilized rear rack camera with a display on the bars is perfect. I love my digital rear view mirror in the car.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

My handlebar mirrors all stay nice and fixed. Try Mirrcycle.

[-] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Huh? Never had this problem in the city at least. And you could try one of this bar end mirrors, they are great.

[-] antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago

Maybe you’ve got better roads than I do?

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
