From hardware startup Tagit Labs, the BikeTag is a smart safety device that uses proximity detection and advanced motion tracking to keep riders from getting knocked off their bikes or badly hurt. Its crash-detecting and auto-tracking technology sits under the seat of your bicycle. The smart cycling sensor doesn't need to be turned on or off -- once you get moving, it will automatically start working and feed data to your smartphone. If you do get into an accident, it will notify your family and friends. The premium version of the system also has a ride alerts feature that notifies your loved ones when you get home safely, should you undertake a late night ride. BikeTag also has live tracking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Cycling Sensors:** Smart safety devices that use proximity detection and advanced motion tracking to enhance bike rider safety. - **Crash-detecting Technology:** Technology that can detect when a bike rider gets into an accident and automatically notify family and friends. - **Live Tracking:** Real-time tracking features for bike riders to provide enhanced safety and peace of mind. ### Who This Affects Most - **Personal Safety Devices:** Smart safety devices for bike riders that are focused on preventing accidents and providing real-time alerts and tracking. - **Cycling Accessories:** The cycling industry could add smart safety devices to their product offerings to enhance rider safety and appeal to safety-conscious cyclists. - **Motion Tracking Technology:** The technology industry can continue to innovate and improve upon motion tracking technology to create more advanced and effective safety devices for cyclists and other sports enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cyclist Safety-Focused Smart Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-safety1.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Safety Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rear-bike-light.md) - [Vehicle-Tracking Cyclist Radar Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-varia-rearvue-820.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md) - [Radar-Equipped Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannondale-synapse.md) - [AI-Powered Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livall-ai-visual-smart-helmet.md) - [Tracker-Friendly Bicycle Bells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbell.md) - [Airbag Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerobag-system.md) - [Light-Equipped Cyclist Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-dash-cam.md)
