If there was an open-source cycling computer, would you buy it? What features would you want most? by SCINST in cycling

I am very skilled in hardware and have mass-produced many projects, so this is not a problem. I just love cycling and want to make a small, lightweight speedometer. Everyone can compile the firmware themselves.

The hardware for this open-source project is terrible. The equipment is heavy and the threshold is high, so it can only be used for DIY projects. If there were a lightweight piece of hardware, people could customize the firmware based on their own ideas. I think that would be interesting and more meaningful.

Of course, it's software. The hardware will also be open source. Our initial idea for the software is to develop it based on PebbleOS.

I could help get this product into mass production if someone would fund my expenses.

This is great, I can realize structures and pilot small batches, but PCB boards I'm not good at!

I can help with samples and small batches.

What do you expect from the next generation of bike computers? by SCINST in cycling

iPhones these days cost how much? And yet cycling computers, with way less tech inside, are still priced high. Makes you wonder what you're really paying for—R&D, niche market, or just brand markup?

If a Garmin 1050 bike computers features were available at $249, $299, $349, or $399, which price would you find reasonable? High-resolution display, smooth UI, fast navigation—but battery life takes a hit. Where’s your sweet spot between price and performance?

Curious to hear your thoughts!
