That\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While wearing the glasses, you can activate and deactivate the heads-up display by simply moving your eyes to look to the top right of the glasses.

The bike utilizes a loud (85dB) alarm that is activated by an integrated motion sensor. And on top of that, it uses Apple Find My to help keep track of your bike\u2019s whereabouts, or to locate a bike that may\u2019ve been taken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it looks like a pretty cool bike. And at \u20ac3,999 ($4,547), it\u2019s not horribly expensive. It will be available in a step-through frame as well, you know, when it\u2019s actually available.
