# Wireless Cyclist Speakers Bikebeatz is Designed for Audiophiles Who Travel on Two Wheels By Michael Hines | Published 2013-11-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bikebeatz References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/bikebeatz-bicycle-rack-stereo/29884/) & [bikebeatz](http://bikebeatz.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosound-a1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bromley-750) and a 240-watt amplifier. MP3 players can be hard-wired into the speaker or connected using an additional [Bluetooth receiver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-bluetooth-speaker1). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wireless Bicycle Speakers:** The trend of incorporating wireless technology into speakers made specifically for bicycles presents the opportunity for major disruption in the sports and entertainment industries. - **Portable Audio Accessories for Outdoor Enthusiasts:** As audio technology becomes more portable and adaptable for outdoor use, there is an opportunity for innovation in industries related to camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. - **Smart Mountable Audio Devices:** Wireless speaker technology on travel-related vehicles such as bikes or motorcycles continue to innovate and the industry has an opportunity to capitalize on this trend. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports Equipment:** The sports equipment industry can innovate by creating wireless speaker technology as a standard accessory for bicycles and other outdoor sports. - **Audio Equipment:** Smart audio devices can be developed and marketed as devices that are mountable on a variety of outdoor vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. - **Travel and Tourism:** There is an opportunity in the travel industry to develop more effective and innovative audio technology for use while traveling to destinations on bicycles or motorcycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Cyclist Bell Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-bellbeats.md) - [Engine Simulating Scooter Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-engine-wireless-speaker.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md) - [Beach-Ready Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-speaker-1.md) - [Wearable High-Quality Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-x-teufel.md) - [Futuristic Mechanical Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-shell.md) - [Pickleball-Friendly Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaqua-barnacle-pro-20.md) - [Affordable Adventure Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tribit-maxsound-plus.md) - [Phone Charger-Infused Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-chargerinfused-speaker.md)
