Hi Hunters, If you're not the daily gym-type (or even if you are!) it can be really hard to muster up the motivation to get out there and kick ass. So we designed a simpler, more interactive, more convenient way to get healthy that we hope you'll find super fun. Velo is an all-in-one fitness experience accessible from the comfort of your own home. 1. A streamlined, durable stationary bike that fits into any room and any schedule. Ergonomically designed and specially engineered to make you feel like you're racing on a real bike, on a real road. 2. Integrated with software that allows you to find your real life friends and get them to race you - just enter their email address. Or, browse the VELO leaderboard to find your next challenge - and maybe a new workout buddy! 3. Or.. if your jam is more internal motivation - you can race against your past selves. 4. Audio coach and sideline support - for that little extra boost. 5. An essential stats monitor (heart rate, calorie burn, speed, progress, etc.), so you'll always be able to stay on track with your fitness goals. We're so excited to give you a sneak peek of VELO - do let us know what you think! We're taking preorders now for an extremely competitive (haha) early bird rate of $499 for the whole experience (bike + software + 17 inch tablet) - just enter your email address on our website to get involved. https://www.autonomous.ai/velo-s... We've been building productivity and health products for the workplace for a while now - so we decided to start thinking bigger than the cubicle. All questions, comments, motivation, criticism welcome - we'd love to hear it all! - Chi

@chitran241 are you taking pre-orders now? I signed up last week, but did not get a notification. The website also looks like it is only allowing you to sign up for notifications, not to purchase yet.

The bike looks nice. Love simple design. Btw, I never good at racing outdoor, but indoor is a good idea. Avoid traffic, weather, smog is more encouraging.

My concern about smart devices or devices that interact with apps is the lifespan of the app vs the product. Is their any guarantee for for how long the app would be supported or services behind the app will remain active? Some other stationary bikes have different pedals such as clip on, will there be any variations to peddles available? Will you be able to control the settings, tension from the app and will the app be aware of tension settings for when you race? For those of us less social will you be able to race yourself? Will there be multi user settings for people with more than one person using the bike? Not sure if it's been asked but will the social and smart features require a subscription?

This must be one of the best looking stationary bikes I've seen!

Very fascinating! I think it's also a good equipment for company. Think about your colleagues racing against each other, that's fun and definitely less stress at work.
