The automotive industry is witnessing tremendous technological advancements in manufacturing, design, and technology processes around the globe. The connected motorcycle is today's latest innovation integrated into existing motorcycles to provide intelligent and sophisticated two-wheeler mobility to their users. The world of connected vehicles includes smart and connected technology infrastructure, interconnectivity, and connectivity, wireless technologies are expanding fast in all the major economies, and especially in the developed nations, such as the UK, US, and China.
Current vehicle infrastructures in the U.S. connect motorcycles to their bases, but the future connected mobility vehicle will connect motorcycles to individual clients and to the Internet, to perform functions such as GPS navigation and remote start. It integrates the internal combustion engine and the electrical system of the motorcycle to create a power source independent from the vehicle. This eliminates the need for conventional batteries that are prone to power outages or over-charging. The smart and compact size of these motorcycles allows for maximum storage, flexibility, and easy access.
One of the main reasons why a connected motorcycle will succeed is due to its unprecedented combination of safety features and advanced technology. It provides safety features that have been generally absent in the past such as keyless ignition, ABS brakes, variable valve timing, and variable speed (which includes throttle). The future looks bright because most of the manufacturers are already planning to incorporate these technologies into upcoming models. Other safety features that have been included in the motorcycles in the past but not in the forthcoming models are Locking Throttle, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Assistive Control, Advanced Compatibility Engineering, Vehicle Stability Support, Blind Spot Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, hill-start Assist, and throttle response time indication. With all these new technologies that are being incorporated into the future models of these motorcycles it is expected that the future of commuting on two wheels will be safe, secure, reliable, comfortable, and most importantly environmentally friendly.
With so many exciting technologies and future applications in the future, it is easy to see how the connected motorcycle market is going to grow and expand in the future. In the coming years, there will be a significant amount of interest in this new type of motorcycle which was not even on the radar screen of the market makers just ten short years ago. If you can think about how fast the world grows, and how quickly cities are expanding, you can understand why an automobile that is capable of running both indoors and outdoors, can provide an alternative mode of transportation to millions of people who are either living in cities or commuting to work in them every day. One of the biggest challenges that manufacturers will face in the future will be how to create motorcycles that can be used for both recreational and business purposes. With new technologies and future applications, the connected motorcycle market will continue to expand and prosper for years to come.
