    I can’t get much beyond seeing it as a Raleigh Vektar but with my phone included.

    “I’m a passionate biker, tired of the clutter on my handlebars”

    Oh, the irony!

    Are their times when a handle bar mounted phones make sense? Yes

    A mount with a battery boost? yes I get that

    One that leaves your phone elements? Really

    One that has a built in light, no thanks

    I didn’t realise Germany had it’s own version of Hoxton.

    Does seem a bit like an exercise in **** marketing for an app with an light attached.

    Intergrated? But the expensive looking bell thing isn’t.
    I’m sure it would be great on a muddy ride in the pissing rain.

    Besides the necessary items such as Brakes,Gear shifter and grips the only other thing cluttering my bars is a Knog Blinder which must take up all of 2cm.

    Its no hardship really to turn my rear light on before I get on the bike,all the rest is superfluous one of the reasons I cycle is for escapism quite often I leave my phone at home otherwise it goes in the Camelbak.

    Not for me thanks plus the front light and controller looks like its escaped from Tron.

    I just tried google translate. Apparently the German for “Fixie ****” is “Fixie ****” – though oddly it auto-detected the language as being Indonesian. Anyway “Fixie ****” magically translates to “Fixie ****” in every language, with the exception of China where you would say “?fixie??”
    It’s clearly one of those meta words like beer, that is just universally understood.

    Remember how shimano did brake and shifter in one and no one liked them ? That’s because loading lots of things into one package is a bad idea. I’m out

    Imagine the terror of taking your hand off the bar 😯

    And such effective indicators, being at least 1 1/2″ off the center-line.

    I haven’t quite figured out what it does. But hey one of the guys did some work for Audi so that’s all good.
