As electric bicycles become increasingly common on our streets, ensuring rider safety is more important than ever. In an innovative leap, third-party tech creators are stepping up to enhance the security of these eco-friendly commuters. Among the latest advancements is the Ride Safety System RS 1000, a product from Alps Alpine, designed to offer riders a guardian angel over their shoulders.

This nifty device acts as an early warning system, alerting e-bikers to vehicles and potential hazards approaching from behind. Using AI to monitor the road, the RS 1000 serves up instant alerts, and pairs with smartphones to project real-time traffic updates right onto the handlebars. Essentially, it’s like having a rearview mirror with you, but smarter and digital.

Alps Alpine has focused on an intelligent design for the RS 1000. It not only detects danger but also shines as a multifunctional rear light, which includes a brake light feature for better visibility to other road users. The system is lightweight and unobtrusive, designed to be easily mounted without being hidden by bags or gear.

What’s truly impressive is its integration capabilities. The RS 1000 can draw power directly from the e-bike, reducing the hassle of separate charging, and it’s got a USB interface for versatility across different bikes. Plus, with at least two hours of internal battery life, it’s ready for most commutes or leisure rides.
