A minimal round display for your handlebar that shows the real streets ahead on two-wheeler routes. Your phone does the navigating from your pocket; Trippy shows you where to go.
Join the early riders
Real roads and side streets around you, not a single arrow or a straight line.
A 1.75" round AMOLED (700 nits) in a small body about 5.5 cm across. Easy to glance at, neat on the bar.
The edge glows on the side of the next turn, and the map zooms in as a turn comes up.
Connects over Bluetooth. No Android Auto, CarPlay or wires. Runs on its own battery.
The prototype on a bike's mirror arm, on a night ride through Bangalore. The phone stays locked in a pocket the whole way.
This is the first prototype: thick bezel, and a red safety string while we test the mount. The version we're building is smaller, brighter and sealed.
Built in public, one update at a time, on r/BangaloreBikes. Read the whole story so far, from the first drawing to the new case.
Held in hand on a midnight ride, phone in the pocket.

Trippy already works as a prototype. The version you'll get, with a brighter AMOLED screen in a smaller sealed body, is being built now. Early riders get:

The list lives in a short Google Form: name, city, bike, and what you'd want on the screen. About a minute.

Yes. Your phone plans the route and tracks your position; Trippy shows it. The phone can stay in your pocket or tank bag, connected over Bluetooth.
No. Start the ride, lock the phone and keep it in your pocket or bag. Trippy keeps showing the way.
Bluetooth stays on the whole ride. The phone loads the map ahead of you (20 km by default, or the whole route if you choose), so a stretch with no signal is fine while you stay on the route. Finding a new route needs internet.
Search finds places much like Google Maps does, including pasted Google Maps links. The map and two-wheeler routes come from OpenStreetMap.
Yes. You pair once with a code. After that, Trippy connects whenever you open the app with Bluetooth on.
Spoken turn-by-turn comes from the phone, so it plays in your helmet speakers. Trippy can also show incoming calls and the song playing, with simple controls; what's possible differs between Android and iPhone, and you can turn it all off.
On a Garmin-style quarter-turn mount, with adapters for common bike mounts. The prototype in the video sits on a mirror-arm adapter.
Our target for the new version is 6 hours at full brightness, and it charges from your bike's USB on longer rides. We'll publish real measured numbers before anyone pays.
That's what it's built for: a sealed body meant for heavy monsoon rain and the Indian summer. No Trippy is sold until it passes our own tests, including 2 hours of heavy rain, the noon sun and 500 km of bad roads.
Both. Trippy works with the Trippy app on Android and on iPhone.
We're setting the price now, and your answers in the form help decide it. Early riders get the best price, and we'll confirm it before anyone pays. Joining the list is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
First units go to a small group of testers from this list, then pre-orders open. Early riders hear first once we have a date.
