Smart mobility on two wheels: motorcycle connectivity enabled by Continental can run without a smartphone

More infotainment apps, more enjoyment: The Connected Infotainment Box can trigger a service boom for motorcycles.

Direct connection of the vehicle with the internet is standard in new luxury and midrange passenger cars. This allows drivers to use the vehicle manufacturer's connectivity services without having to use their cell phones, so they can go online faster and save a lot of the smartphone's data volume and battery life. For motorcyclists, direct connections between the bike and the online world - and the resulting possibilities are not yet available. However, thanks to Continental's initiative, the topic of online connection on two wheels is now on the move. The technology company has designed a complex combination of different hardware components. This design ensures the connection to a cloud backend so that a motorcycle can also accommodate the telematics module. Adapting this innovation for individual bike classes will require much less effort, thanks to Continental's typical platform approach.
