ESP32 Project Turns Motorcycles into Bluetooth Smart Bikes

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

An open-source project called Eccles Smart Bike uses an ESP32 and Android app to add Bluetooth controls to motorcycles without replacing original electronics. The system manages indicators, horn, headlight, and starter via a Java Android app and C++ firmware. It integrates with OEM wiring and uses FreeRTOS for thread-safe operation.

Meridian48 take
A clever hobbyist project, but unlikely to see wide adoption without commercial backing or integration with major bike manufacturers.
