Hey Slowtwitchers,
Ever get out for a ride and your shifting failed because of a dead battery?
Worse yet, ever drive to the start of your ride and realize you left your battery at home on the charger?
Ever have to put in your Strava title that your GPS died?
I've done them all.
Early adopters will say that it's easy enough to carry a spare battery or to switch batteries between components to regain function.
But that's not good enough for me.
So, I'm in the process of launching a product (http://www.AGNCYInnovation.com) to solve this problem. We're exploring a few technologies and ways to solve this problem - nothing is commercially ready yet.
Our goal is keep your batteries constantly ready for action with essentially no input from you. No plugging in chargers, no swapping or taking batteries off your bike. Just get on and go (like the good old days of mechanical shifting!).
At times this has been a difficult process - two steps forward and three steps back.
When the going has been tough, I've been motivated by the enthusiasm that my friends share because it solves one of their problems.
I'd love to hear your stories for my inspiration and motivation, your feature requests, and even why you think it's a silly idea (so that I can solve for that too).
I'd also love if you could visit my very basic website at http://www.AGNCYInnovation.com to sign up for our mailing list. I won't sell or spam, but it gives me insight into how many are interested in this product and a leg-up if and when we make it to kickstarter.
Also, if you want to be involved in the project, we're always looking for cofounders, investors, and smart-people who can make things happen! Send me a message through the contact form and I'll reach out.
I talk a lot - Give it a listen: http://www.fasttalklabs.com/category/fast-talk
I also give Training Advice via http://www.ForeverEndurance.com
The above poster has eschewed traditional employment and is currently undertaking the ill-conceived task of launching his own hardgoods company. Statements are not made on behalf of nor reflective of anything in any manner... unless they're good, then they count.
