Hammerhead is an interactive direction indicator.



Bicycle navigators invented and created a mass of various types and various functionalities. It would seem that here you can still invent? It turns out that there is still room for innovative projects in this area - just look at the process not in the general perspective of the complication of devices, but in the exact opposite.

Hammerhead is already available for pre-order for $ 85.

Siva Cycle - Bicycle recharge for your gadgets

The idea to turn the energy of rotation of the wheel into electricity for at least 150 years. And on an industrial scale, it is successfully implemented a long time ago.
