Feedback:
Very nice product!
I think it looks good to me
I would love to buy this! It looks very nice and I like the customization
It really depends on the pricing for me. I think that if it is more expensive and gets stolen it wouldn’t be worth it
Condense the PV and light into one device
Takeaways:
For the next step, I will condense the PV and light into one device. I’m keeping the customization aspect of the product because that is a good, fun selling point.
I will be dropping the adhesive strip and adding a magnetic lock that can be unlocked with a fob that will be installed on the handlebars.
I’m adding an air tag feature so that the bike or light can be traceable and deter criminal activity.
I’m considering adding a buddy app that tracks the bike and also warns you if the bike is being tampered with.
