BikeBeatz knows that just because you are on two wheels doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to bump your tunes. The portable speaker is designed to be mounted above the rear wheel of a bicycle tire and lets out some serious sound. BikeBeatz contains two 6" x 9" speakers and a 240-watt amplifier. MP3 players can be hard-wired into the speaker or connected using an additional Bluetooth receiver. According to the company behind the speaker, a single charge is good for between six and 12 hours of use.
BikeBeatz is water-resistant and comes with its own mounting. The only drawback is its weight; the speaker weighs in at an extra 11 pounds. Still, if you aren't heading up hills or riding in a competition, 11 pounds isn't much. BikeBeatz is available now for $299.
