News for April 2010:

Due to the many queries in the last weeks, we‘d like to inform our customers, prospective customers and website visitors, that we had to end the cooperation with the Baehr Technology GmbH & Co. KG due to their insolvency announcement. Therefore the BlueBike devices are distributed again by the Votronic CES Technology GmbH in St.Ingbert.

Well timed to this years season, we finished our new BlueBike and we‘re glad to offer you once again a technical highlight.

First field reactions were very promising, if not to say euphorically good.

We're glad to serve our existing customers, if they are in need of assistance, and to new customers out of our development and production headquarters in St.Ingbert.

BlueBike® – worldwide unique and unrivalled

BlueBike®, Bluetainment for bikers is a communication system based on the Bluetooth® technology, which can be adapted to each individual demand. Whatever - sports or touring driver, BlueBike® works without disturbing cables and so the biker’s great liberty is safer and more comfortable and people do not have to surrender to the communication and to the entertainment.

To begin with the Bluetooth Headset BlueBike you are able to talk handsfree via a Bluetooth
® mobile as well as to listen to the voice controlled navigation announcements (X3). The headset is suitable for nearly all established helmets. The handling of the BlueBike is relatively simple and is carried out with four push buttons on the flexible outer protection cover. The design of the protection cover has been developed in a way, that any ambient noise, caused by the air stream will not occur and rainwater can drain off easily.

Would you like to intercom with your pillion rider you need only a second BlueBike for her/him and so wireless intercommunication is possible and neither driver nor pillion rider have to surrender to the other conveniences of the BlueBike. Handsfree talking and voice controlled navigation announcements remain unaffected for everyone. The technology integrated inside the BlueBike allows an optimal communication with the pillion rider as well as communication via mobile phone – even at an accelerated tempo (depending from the available helmet and the bike). In consideration of the ambient noise at the helmet the volume automatically is controlled to lower or higher loudness (e.g. higher or lower speed). Furthermore the BlueBike is supporting the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). This technology allows to transmit music wireless into the helmet in HiFi stereo quality (200 – 20.000 Hz instead of the Bluetooth ordinary 500 – 4.000 Hz) – by the help of the BlueCenter or other suitable Bluetooth devices or adapters, which are A2DP capable.

The BlueCenter additionally allows to connect a walkie-talkie and a radio or a MP3-Player or a non-Bluetooth
® navigation system. The connection of these external devices are realized by phone-jack systems. Within the scope of delivery you find a wired ‚Push-to-Talk‘-button, which allows to communicate via walkie-talkie from bike to bike - even over greater distances. As the BlueCenter also is powered by a rechargeable battery and has been designed extremely tight, it is possible to put it into the jacket pocket or into the tank bag. When you combine the BlueBike and the BlueCenter you bring the wireless liberty via Bluetooth to perfection.

The operation time of the rechargeable Li-Ion battery (included in the scope of delivery) supplies an operation time of minimum 15 hours for the
BlueBike and 20 hours for the BlueCenter (subject to appropriate use). With the help of the charger (included in the scope of delivery) you have the ability to charge the battery either directly at the bike or at the 110/230V net. After a charging time of 3 hours the battery is charged 100%.

The installation into the helmets will be carried out directly by Votronic CES Technology GmbH or from an authorized partner.
We grant a three year manufacturer's warranty on our own system components as well as a three year free software update.
