Technology: “Overboost”
“When we started developing the remote, we realized that alloy and carbon block radio frequencies that are used by garage door remotes. That was a problem for us since we wanted the remote to be installed in the bicycle handlebars, mostly made of alloy or carbon. The early prototypes only had an operational range of less than 1.5m/5ft. After months of engineering, prototyping, and testing, we finally achieved a range of more than 15m/50ft.”
IP65 Water & Dust Resistant
We built the 12speed Doormate to work even in rain. The 12speed Doormate is protected against water from all angles.
