One of the main criticisms of Apple's new MacBook is that it only has one USB port, which can be quite inconvenient. But with the brilliant product of the Chinese designer Goglu Jing InfiniteUSB ("infinite USB"), which is good for us on Kickstarter, more than one thread will not be needed to be able to connect several devices to the laptop at the same time. Say goodbye to cumbersome USB hubs.
JIVR Bike is an urban electric bicycle that is chainless, foldable and enables the so-called iBeacon technology based on Bluetooth. JIVR Bike thus provides all the advantages of cycling without having to make compromises with lifestyle. JIVR Bike is currently raising funds on Kickstarter.
Motorized skateboards are not new, and most of them are recognizable from afar, as they have a battery or a motor on the back. Monolith is the first skateboard with motors right in the wheels, which means that it will be hard to tell it apart from the usual ones. The only thing that will betray you is the fact that you are not driving, but you are still happily moving. She has already raised enough start-up funds on Kickstarter.
Dog fashion is nothing new, but until now wearable technology has more or less been reserved for humans. Thanks to the smart LED dog vest Disco Dog from Kickstarter, man's best friend can now also enjoy "clothing electronics". But it is the smartphone that operates with the luminous vest, which has several very useful functions and not only turns the dog into a Christmas tree or disco ball but also protects him.
You've probably heard of Qwerty keyboards before, but even if you haven't, chances are you type on them regularly. But you probably haven't heard of the emoji keyboard, which uses emoji symbols instead of letters and came up with the idea of the technology company Disk Cactus, which is offering it on Kickstarter. It is a silicone keyboard, which is actually not a keyboard in the strict sense of the word, but a "cover" for an already existing one.
Forget the telescopic selfie stick, here is the Podo, a camera that attaches to any hard surface (wood, concrete, glass,...) with the help of a magnet or a suction cup, a spark (read the link) between it and and turn on Bluetooth with your smartphone. You can capture images, videos and time-lapse videos with it, and you can even back it on Kickstarter.
After debuting at CES the year before last year, the Instrument 1 is now moving into homes after meeting its Kickstarter goal in less than six hours. The basic, plastic version of the instrument will thus be available for around 310 euros, while the wooden version will be significantly more expensive - 810 euros. Which is still cheap when you think about how much a guitar, piano, violin and bass combined would hit our wallets. But the Instrument 1 can sound quite different, as it can be connected to the iPhone family and a PC.
The smart lock may not be a completely new coinage, namely fingerprint (biometric technology) and contactless card locks could already be called smart locks, but the only real ones are those like Sesame from Kickstarter, which work in connection with a smartphone. But the big advantage of the Sesame lock compared to the others is that the use, and above all the installation, is a task for a child.
Takeaway coffee is also becoming more and more popular in our country, which means that more and more paper pots end up in the trash cans. Even if you separate, paper fibers cannot be recycled forever, and sooner or later they will not return from the waste. That's why they're with Reduce. Reuse. Grow. looked for a solution and found it in fibers from recycling plants, which are too coarse for new processing, mixed seeds with them and made pots that you can plant after use. Just drop a few euros into their "pot" on Kicstarter.
The Pebble Time smartwatch promises an incredible 7 days of battery life, beating competitors like the Apple Watch, LG Watch Urbane,... by days! Unlike most smart watches, it does not use a touch screen, but e-paper, i.e. a screen with the contrast of paper, which consumes very little energy. Although it has barely started its Kickstarter campaign, it already exceeded the goal of 500 thousand dollars in 20 minutes, and after an hour the number jumped to two million.
The Snolo Scion is a sled for adults. Leave the snowboards and classic sleds to the kids. It is quite enough for them to go down the hill. Snolo Scion turns sledding into a wild ride, where adrenaline spurts to all ends, just like snow under a sled. How could you not, when they were inspired by motorcycles and Formula 1. They are currently on Kicstarter, so if they are successful, you will be able to try them next winter.
