Bicycle Lock

INSPIRATION:
There are various types of traditional bicycle locks. Users often put the lock in different places, such as head tube, top tube and under the saddle, unsightly and inconvenient to store. The lock breaks the form limitation of traditional bicycle by the way of creatively combining the lock and the seat post. This product combines the lock with a bicycle part and it can not only ensure the safety of the bicycle, but also make the body cleaner.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The factors that determine whether a bike lock is good or bad are ease of use and versatility, in addition to security. To ensure the security of the lock, we use a very mature fingerprint recognition technology. While ensuring security, it improves the user's operating experience. In consideration of the product's implementability, we retain the shape characteristics and material of the original bike seat tube, install the chain inside the car do tube, and place a magnet inside the lock body so that it can be easily sucked on the back of the bike do tube. All these designs ensure the manufacturability of the product.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Since the product is universal, there is no difference with the traditional seat tube size, the physical size is 28mmx74mmx352mm, it can be adapted to any bike.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
To better understand the needs of lock users, we conducted research in shopping malls that sell bicycles, talking to dealers and exploring developments and changes in bicycles, such as how to alert small cars to attention and how to prevent theft. We also talked to cyclists on the road to analyze the needs of users. In the course of our research, we learned about the needs of users and the opinions of manufacturers and dealers associated with bicycles. With this insight, we began to refocus the project on the main issue: more efficient and natural unlocking and unlocking.

CHALLENGE:
We wanted to create the perfect solution to design a convergent product for cyclists, rather than going the extra mile to buy a lock. This design breaks through the limitations of traditional bicycle lock, it combines the lock with a bicycle part. The product not only brings convenience to users, but also reduces the waste of social resources, while also accelerating the progress of integrated innovation.
