Astrobike : UNY Students' electric bicycle based on android
Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) students have succeeded in introducing electric bicycles as a product in the technopreneur field. This android-based electric bicycle made by Dangin et al., which is labeled Astrobike, has two types, women's bikes, and men's bicycles. With its superiority and eye-catching design, Astrobike has managed to attract attention at several technology exhibitions.
We do not need to pedal this electric-powered bicycle. We can control the engine system with an android cellphone. UNY Rector Prof. Dr. Rochmat Wahab, M.Pd., MA. tried Astro Bike when visiting the exhibition stand and went around the UNY GOR.
The UNY Rector's idea gave a spark of enthusiasm to Dangin et al. as a form of support for young technopreneurs who were starting their careers. Moreover, the UNY Rector was not the only one who paid attention to Astrobike. The rectors of other universities were also interested when this bicycle was exhibited in the technology exhibition of the Indonesian Chancellor's Forum (FRI) at the UNY Auditorium 2 months ago.
The advantages of Astrobike itself are in the double charging system, lock system, and monitoring system based on Android, astrobike application, and several other features offered. The innovation of the young generation affects the progress of the country. Technology after technology began to become the focus of Indonesia as the demands of the times. Hopefully, all parties can together build the nation. (Dangin/FT, ts-Shafia, Alina)
