Ridevision Motorcycle Alert System

We caught a demonstration of this brilliant new electronic safety system for streetbikes at the recent AIME expo. Designer and CEO Uri Lavi says the Ridevision system utilizes two camera sensors mounted at each end of your bike that measure potential hazards like cars following too closely behind, a bike’s distance to vehicles in front and dangerous overtakes of your bike from all angles. The compact kit fits any motorcycle and offers 360 degree surround sensors to alert riders when cars may be entering your lane space by activating bright red lights in a set of connected rear-view mirrors. Brilliant, safe and affordable for just $700 from www.ride.vision.
