More and more bicycle producers are bringing e-bike versions out and making their products compatible with the Internet of Things.

Matrix Display and VanMoof App.

🇩🇪 Deutsch?

VanMoof is one of the frontiers, starting with the smart bikes, now and then they are implementing newer features in their lineup of bicycles, like their recently refreshed S3 and X3 models, with Apple Find My integration .

Integrating the latest technologies points the focus on the user interfaces the bicycles are offering to the users. Most people still prefer, jump and ride rather than dealing with complications.

Simplest example; buttons.

The bell button should ring the bell. One button, one feature, nothing more, nothing less. On the other hand, tech-oriented riders may wish to have additional intuitive approaches, like the long press, double press.

How about the feedback you receive? Do you wish to receive sound, voice, haptic or visual feedback? When we increase the features, we increase the complexity, therefore the complexity in usability.
