    In a series of American things I’m too European to understand, we have the rearview radar for bicycles.

      Think Mad Max, but he’s on a bicycle and everyone else has cars: That’s right, it’s so hostile we need radar for incoming threats.

    Rearview radar? That is some fun fanciness! If it’s very reliable I could see myself getting hooked on that feature.

    Is there a way to make this thing work with a dynamo hub? Like a shared battery for onboard electronics that the dynamo charges? Or to connect it to an e-bike battery?

      With a soldering iron, probably yes. In the meantime - you can always grab a Mirrycle!

        Hah, I have that exact mirror on my recumbent trike. Good stuff!

        I’d also recommend Cateye mirrors if you wanted something smaller, I have their bar end mirrors on my folder and they’re fantastic for their size!

      As far as I know, it runs off it’s own battery, but you could probably connect the charger to a USB port if your bike has one. Not sure if it runs connected or not though.
