Completely Reinventing the Cycling Computer
Boca Raton, FL (June 23, 2010) – Velocomp LLP, makers of the iBike® line of power meters, today announced the iBike DashTM. The iBike Dash revolutionizes the possibilities of a bike computer, expands the potential of a power meter, and re-imagines the capabilities of the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The completely wireless iBike Dash unites the iPhone (3G/3GS/4) or iPod Touch with the iBike Phone BoothTM and the iBike® app, creating a truly transformational device.
How it Works
The “smart” Phone Booth case houses patented electronics that interact with the iPhone or iPod Touch to send cycling signals to the iBike app; through the iBike app that information is translated into an astounding display that completely reinvents the cycling experience.
All of the elements working together transform a cyclist’s iPhone or iPod Touch into the iBike Dash — the ultimate cycling computer, or the iBike Dash+Power – the most amazing power meter you’ve ever experienced
“The revolutionary iBike Dash makes use of the full computer functionality of the iPhone or iPod Touch to deliver a truly amazing cycling dashboard at a cyclist’s fingertips – a virtual co-pilot, navigator, and black box all in one,” remarks John Hamann, CEO, Velocomp
