Lock-Embedded Bikes

BluLocks Bicycles Allow Your to Ditch Your Old Lock at Home

— October 22, 2015 — Art & Design
Finding that you've left your lock at home or forgotten it at the office can quickly render you panicked when it's time to lock your ride up at your location, but BluLocks Bicycles look to eliminate this headache of a problem by embedding the lock into the construction of the bike itself. Working by having the lock come out of the frame and wrap easily around the front tire and the structure you're locking your ride to, BluLocks Bicycles are designed for performance and aren't just about the embedded lock feature (although this clearly one of the most awesome features).

Currently funding on Indiegogo, BluLocks Bicycles are estimated to be available for purchase in February of next year.
Trend Themes
1. Embedded-lock Technology - The trend of embedding locks directly into products, like bikes, presents disruptive innovation opportunities for other industries such as luggage, safes, and smart home security.
2. Convenience-enhancing Products - The trend of creating products that eliminate common inconveniences, like forgetting your lock, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for industries such as travel accessories, office supplies, and personal electronics.
3. Integrated Design Solutions - The trend of integrating multiple functions into a single product, like BluLocks Bicycles integrating the lock into the bike frame, provides disruptive innovation opportunities for industries such as furniture, automotive, and sports equipment.
Industry Implications
1. Travel Accessories - The travel accessories industry can benefit from incorporating embedded-lock technology into suitcases and bags, providing convenience and added security.
2. Office Supplies - Embedding locks into office supplies like briefcases and file cabinets can enhance security and streamline workflow for business professionals.
3. Personal Electronics - Integrating locks into personal electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, can protect sensitive data and offer peace of mind for users.
