slightly bigger or smaller wheels

3rd proprietary chain standard

0.2 degree slacker seat tube

26" will make a comeback under a new name.

They'll call them 22" and market their weight savings.

2x but without a front derailleur

wireless brakes

Mass manufactured high quality $400 Chinese internal gear hubs obliterating dogshit derallieurs and leading us to the promised land of zero maintenance except an oil change here and there.

Touchscreen operated smart bikes with gear subscriptions.

I would fucking love integrated screens in my handlebars for all my data.
There was this one company that showed them around on a few ocassions but i dont know if its real.
Imagine a fully integrated Ultegra Di2 with a digital widescreen cockpit in your aerobars. God i think it is only a matter of time but i want it now.

Electric actuated brakes would be cool too. Imagine only some kind of pressure sensor in your hoods that coresponds with your electric ABS brakes.
We could finally get rid of those stupid break levers.

CVTs on wheel hub motors
belt drive coming back
9999999 lumen lights aimed directly into pedestrians' eyes
car-like brake-actuated rear lights
integrated locks controlled by an app

>>2057761
it already has, idk why but every chinky ebike kit uses 26" wheels and every new production one uses even smaller

>>2057814
a few companies tried to make some but it turned out people just want to mount their phone directly because niggers steal the handlebar mounted computers and it's more sensible to just mount your phone, use a dogshit app, and take the phone with you when you lock up the bike. ebikes tend to come with chinky monochrome displays that show battery health and ride/motor metrics.

Track bikes with brakes

>>2057857
So you want a beach cruiser

No wheels. Single point electric field suspending you off the ground. You pedal to make the static electricity.

>>2057728
app-controled everything
pedals will be locked if not connected to your phone
no brakes whithout signal
live camera stream to 200+ advertisement partners required to turn handlebars
app will only be supported for two years
new version won't support your bike, please upgrade
new phones won't support old app

>>2057728
Nothing, they'll just make them even more expensive

>>2057761
Standard wheel size is over rated anyway for city bikes. Smaller wheels are more fun and you accelerate quicker from red lights. Unless youre on a race/road bike doing long distances outside cities, the benefits are negligible. 90s 650c MTB's were peak comfy, why is no one making those bikes anymore?

>>2057955
*With cheaper materials

Extra buttons on hoods for lights and things
Like an open standard that allows accessory manufacturers to design compatible products

>>2057881
couldn't you have just drilled the crown and installed a caliper normally? why go through a middle man?

>>2058310
>an open standard
haha, this is about what will happen, not actually good answers that definitely won't happen

subscription models where you pay per wheel rotation

>>2058356
There isn’t enough material there to safely drill and mount a brake as it’s a Keirin bike

We might see a turn of repel against the ultra Fred, and start seeing bikes with aero shells again

this is so incredibly dangerous and just plain stupid that i can see some companies actually try it

mate 99% of bike accessories are either 5 or 12v as it is and picrel exist. i'd get it if you meant cyclinc computers or motor controllers or something (which themselves come out of the same two chink factories so are a defacto standard) but even i'm ordering some shit off digikey and my local hardware store to rig up some switches to my handlebars to control lights

Ok /n/ how would design this to fail safe and not get get sued?
I would make the brake apply very slowly and progressively in the event of a loss of connection

It's locked by default and held open by electromagnets powered by $60 proprietary batteries that'll bulge out in two years and light your carbon frame and hence your apartment on fire after three.

>>2060520
i kinda like it. very cyberpunk "designed and built by lowest bidder from highest technology" feel. if it were marketed as just an ultralight motorcycle it would be ok.

>>2060523
if i could find a local hobby shop for stuff like metal tubing unironically i would be building my own bike shit. 3d printers are free, every library has one

>>2060490
same way truck and train brakes do it. they're always on without user input. your controls in the cockpit open the brakes so it can move. so if you have a connection loss you do a frontflip

>>2060529
this but it's hydraulic and requires proprietary high pressure cartridges that can't be shipped through normal means and sometimes randomly explode anyway

Sorry the terms of service of the subscription make it very clear that they are not liable for anything ever, and now you are getting counter-sued for libel
