In prototype phase
Intellectual Property Rights:
Patent
Differentiation in the market:
Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Bikes.
Advantages:
Nowadays there is no pedalling system that facilitates a proper ergonomic position and that does not require any kind of foot anchoring (either clips, straps or step-in automatic pedals). Due to these innovative features, it establishes a new category overlooked by today's industry. Exhibiting distintive characteristics and working, it can generate a differentiated demand over its competitors.
