Trek’s electronic bike bell lets you customize how urgent it sounds
A friendlier way to say “get out of my way!”
Trek’s new BellBeats is a compact Bluetooth speaker that can be mounted to a bike’s handlebars giving cyclists a selection of eight quick-access alert tones that are either friendly or urgent. The speaker also includes perpetually looping ambient tones for trail riders wanting to make hikers or wildlife aware of their presence at all times. With six hours of battery life and audio “optimized by Harman,” the BellBeats doubles as a portable Bluetooth speaker allowing cyclists to listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts, or even turn-by-turn GPS directions without the need for headphones that can diminish their ability to hear what’s going on around them.
