Smarthalo Technologies, Inc. designs and develops smart anti­theft locking technologies and device for bikes and sells through online store. Its biking device with a minimalist, circular interface connects with a smartphone so that cyclists are less distracted by notifications on their phones - maps, SMS messages and other alerts. The Bluetooth-enabled smart bike device displays the safest and quickest routes to the desired destination with turn-by-turn navigation, lights the way at night with an automatic flashlight, and triggers a loud alarm to ward off thieves. The company was founded by Xavier Peich, Gabriel Alberola, and Olivier Bourbonnais and is headquartered in Montreal, QC.
