Trippy in a paragraph

Trippy is a small round display for a motorcycle or scooter handlebar that shows the whole street map on two-wheeler routes, not just an arrow. The phone does the navigating from the rider's pocket and sends the map to Trippy over Bluetooth, so the phone stays locked and safe while the rider glances at the road ahead. Trippy started in September 2026 as a weekend build in Bangalore, shared one update at a time on Reddit's r/BangaloreBikes, and is made by Flying Cactus Labs, named after the Reddit username it all began with.
