Make riding easier Try out Cookie Smart Bike
2016-12-24 16:27

As a digital enthusiast and cyclist, the author was dazzled by various smart bicycles released by major manufacturers this year. The colorful appearance of various products, the powerful functions of various products, as well as various rumors and gossip, all made the author's heart to change. However, after studying for a long time, I found that many smart bicycles do not meet my aesthetic standards. LeEco's bicycle has too many functions and too high price. The function of that display screen is really limited, which increases unnecessary costs and worries about its life. As for light passenger cars and Yunma, although they all look good, they are still electric vehicles in the final analysis, which are not good for riding. However, the 700 bikes, which are stir fried vigorously, have a retro appearance that does not quite meet the author's aesthetic standards.

Cookie Smart Bike stands out among them and becomes the only product that satisfies the author. Simple intelligent functions can help you ride better without increasing the burden. Beautiful appearance, black and orange color matching is quite beautiful. The shape of road vehicles, coupled with low prices, is also a highlight attracting the author. Unfortunately, when crowdfunding this product, the author has not yet achieved the goal of cycling, and cannot change bikes. By the time the author reached his goal, crowdfunding was over, and because of the problem of production capacity, the official was not open to purchase. They kept asking the official when they could go public in batches, but they never got an answer. Participated in the auction on a small website, but when the final auction price reached about 2400, something happened temporarily, which missed another good opportunity. I didn't expect to get a cookie smart bike in 2015, but I finally got a chance to try it in Meitoyang. Thank you for your trust.

Because the author has always liked this car, it is difficult to be completely neutral in this article, so it cannot be considered as evaluation, but as experience. Due to its length, this experience will be divided into Collection process, appearance accessories, night riding experience and mobile phone control Several parts.

1、 Pick up process

After getting the chance to try, I began to look forward to the delivery every day. Finally, one evening, I received a call from the manufacturer. Because the author happened to be in Xiamen, the manufacturer asked the author if he could pick up the car at home, so as not to have to install and debug the express delivery by himself. I couldn't wait to pick up the car at home. After work, I directly took a taxi to the manufacturer's office address. As soon as I entered the company's gate, I was blinded by various vehicles in the company's lobby. I am really a bicycle enthusiast.

By the time I arrived, it was about 6:30 p.m., and there were still many people in the company who were busy. Everyone knew the hardships of start-up companies. The disorderly placement of several large boxes also proves that the manufacturer has been working hard to deliver goods.

I found the relevant staff and finally saw my car. It is the color matching of black and orange that I like, but it is a single speed version, a little pity. First, a simple photo.

After a simple communication with the staff, the author didn't bother others much, so he picked up the car and went home. After going out, I took a group photo at the entrance of the Cookie Company. Unfortunately, the light conditions are too poor.

On the way back from picking up the car, the author came back by riding a new car. The whole journey was less than 20 kilometers, which was regarded as a preliminary experience of riding. However, because the seat is not adjusted properly, and the mobile phone has no power, I lost my way without the navigation system. It took me more than an hour to get home.

2、 Appearance details

I have been busy for several days since I came back, and I haven't had time to take a good picture of cookies. Finally, I took some time to take some pictures of Cookie. First, a full body photo. The color matching of black and orange is very dynamic, and the shape of the road car is also very beautiful. This shape has always been an important factor attracting the author.

Take a look in another direction. The front part of the car is also very dynamic. What I like most is the front design of this car. The flat handle with a slight radian has strong impact. The design of the headlights is also very classic.

As a bicycle enthusiast, I still pay close attention to various parts of the vehicle. So here are some details. The single speed version uses TEKTRO Yanhao's V brake, and the measured effect is good. The tires are genuine Traveller 32-622, standard road slick tires. Relatively speaking, the grip is not bad, but when riding on a smooth surface, it is easy to slip when braking too fast. The foot pedal adopts Taiwan Wellgo products, which are good brands and durable. The Chetouwan set uses the products of Shenzhen Jingye GINEYEA, which is a relatively small contact. I don't know about it, but it is good to see the online introduction. The central axle should be Cookee's own brand, and I haven't seen the logo of other manufacturers. In terms of overall configuration, it should be considered to be more sincere. The introduction of the intelligent part did not shrink the configuration.

Let's look at other details. The front 5 LEDs provide the front lighting function of the vehicle. The connection line of the car body adopts a waterproof interface to avoid failure due to water ingress. There is a charging interface at the bottom of the handlebar and a rubber cover for waterproofing. However, the rubber cover is too soft, which is difficult to cover, and may cause water ingress. Next to the charging interface is the position of the horn.

Turn signals are designed at both ends of the left and right handlebars, which makes night riding safer. The handlebars will vibrate when the lights flash, reminding riders to pay attention. The five way key is the smart center of the car, which integrates light switch, left and right turn lights, horn and user-defined B key. The touch of the keys is not bad, and the feedback is relatively clear, but there is no obvious gap between the keys, so it is easy to mistouch. It is also difficult to distinguish the position of keys during blind operation.

The body wire shall be routed internally as far as possible to improve the beauty of the body. The rear wheel brake line and the code meter line are led out at the bottom of the frame and then go through the open line. This design actually improves the safety of the vehicle during driving.

The quick release design of the front wheel also makes the vehicle storage easier. It is convenient to put it in the car occasionally.

Summary:

The overall appearance of the car is too much for me to praise. After all, everyone has his own love. What I like is not necessarily what others like. From the perspective of details and accessories, this car is also a sincere product. The design of various details is very exquisite, such as the internal wiring, such as the non convex weld, which makes people feel its uniqueness at the first sight. When several friends of the author saw this car, they could feel the difference of these details at first. And various accessories are also full of materials. Although not a very tall configuration, for a road vehicle less than 2000 yuan, its configuration is very sincere. Unfortunately, its single speed configuration and frame are relatively simple. The space for later modification is much smaller. The only modification direction is dead flying. The frame of the variable speed version is different. For cyclists, it is basically changed as they want.

3、 Night riding experience

Because of my work, I usually belong to the night riding clan. What night riders like most is various lights. The light configuration of Cookie Smart Bike is rich enough to meet the needs of night riders at one time.

The headlight can automatically adjust the brightness according to the change of light. It will automatically turn on during driving and turn off after stopping for a period of time. This function is basically the same as the automatic headlights on the car, which can be regarded as a tall configuration. However, the brightness of the LED in front is slightly lower, and there is no condensing measure, which makes its lighting range slightly smaller. According to the author's actual measurement, the lighting range of the Cookie Smart Bike is only about 3 meters. For cyclists, the lighting range needs to be more than 5 meters to be safe. I hope the manufacturer can improve this problem in subsequent models.

The handlebar part is equipped with seven LED breathing light code meters, one of which is 5km/h, which is easier to read than the traditional code meters, and is safer during riding. When it is set to multicolor display, the speed below 20km/h is green, 20-30km/h is blue, and above 30km/h is red, which can be seen at a glance.

The LED tail lights at the tail also provide more security for night riding. Six LED lights flicker constantly to remind passing vehicles of the existence of bicycles.

The tail light also has the function of laser light, radiating multiple laser light lines to both sides, which also improves the safety of night riding.

Finally, let's take a live photo of the author to compare the size of the frame. There are three specifications of the Cookie Smart Bike. The author's car is S, which is theoretically suitable for users whose height is 160-169. The author is 175 in height, so by contrast, the vehicle does seem slightly smaller. However, when the author adjusted the seat to an appropriate height, it was still comfortable to ride, and the front handle did not feel very low, which was barely appropriate.

Summary:

Cookie smart bike has done a lot of work for night riding, and the design of various lights ensures the safety of night riding party. However, the lighting distance of the headlights is too short, which is a serious problem. I hope that it can be properly solved in the future.

4、 Mobile phone control

The Cookie Smart Bike is not controlled by APP, but by WeChat. This design is actually a good choice for too many APP users.

Scan the QR code on the manual, automatically prompt to follow the public account of the cookie bike, and automatically bind the cookie smart bike after following. This design is very convenient. At this time, you can enter my vehicle to view the vehicle status. Double click locking, battery power, cycling distance, software flow and other information are very comprehensive.

Enter the setting item, you can customize more vehicle information. It includes the color of heartbeat light, ring tone and B key ring tone, system upgrade, WIFI settings, etc. Various customized functions enable the vehicle to have more play methods, and the system upgrade also enables it to be constantly improved. There are not many specific setting items, which is actually one of the reasons that the author likes. Bicycles do not need too many intelligent functions, and simple and practical are the best.

The main page can quickly set navigation and anti-theft, which should be the most frequently used items during cycling. The navigation function is completed by using the built-in map of WeChat, which is convenient and fast, but it is a pity that the path cannot be set, and it also needs to consume traffic. There is no offline map to download. In the process of navigation, the vehicle will prompt the direction of the rider through voice reminding and handlebar vibration, which is a unique design. When passing through dangerous areas such as intersections, there are also safety reminders, which are very considerate. The design of anti-theft function is different for single speed version and variable speed version. The single speed version does not have a hardware lock. The software only opens the anti-theft alarm function. After opening, if the vehicle moves, you will receive a WeChat notification. At this time, click to view the vehicle position. For variable speed version vehicles, there is a disc brake lock on the hardware, which must be locked manually. After locking, the software automatically opens the anti-theft alarm, and unlocking can be achieved through software. This setting is also to avoid the danger of cyclists caused by accidental locking of the software. The Cookie Smart Bike also insured the vehicle for loss of vehicle insurance, which is similar to the Xiaoniu electric car, and is more reassuring for users.

Summary:

In fact, there is not much content in the mobile phone control part, but there are plenty of operations and customizable content that can be achieved. This is very similar to my ideal smart bicycle. It does not need complex functions, simple and convenient. It provides the most basic intelligent functions and anti-theft. These functions are enough for cycling enthusiasts to use.

Summary:

In my original plan, I was going to ride Xiamen Island Ring Road and take a picture of the beautiful scenery of Xiamen Island Ring Road. It's a pity that there are too many things in this period, and the weather is not good enough, so we have to give up the continuous rainy days. For this product, the author has always liked it very much, so the experience part may have a little more praise words. Who makes the author a brain wreck. However, the author still thinks that the intelligent bicycle does not need too many functions. As long as it can ensure the safety of riding and the safety of vehicles, it is enough to call it an intelligent bicycle. Cookie not only does this, but also makes riding easier. The purchased vehicles do not need more modifications, nor do they need to purchase other equipment such as headlights and taillights. Chains do not need to be purchased, so they can start riding directly, which is the most convenient for consumers.

Cycling has risen rapidly in recent years, but the author actually started cycling this year. In the past, the amount of exercise was less. With the soaring weight, it was found that the cholesterol was on the high side during the physical examination, so we began to exercise. In fact, cycling is a relatively golden sport. Proper exercise can completely reduce fat, so it is natural to choose this sport. In November, the author just persisted for half a year, twice a week, about 18km each time, lost 8kg of weight, and all body indicators returned to normal. These data make the author more fond of cycling. Maybe someone will say, I also want to ride a bike, but I can't afford to buy a bike? In fact, I used to ride a Citroen that my friends eliminated, which is a kind of car that can't be sold for 200 yuan. The author has always disliked being an equipment party. As long as you have the opportunity and time, you will start doing it. Then you will naturally find what you like and what you want. Just like the name Cookie, I think it's more like "go riding". As long as you like it, don't think about anything. Go riding!

Finally, the author also gives some suggestions to the manufacturer, hoping to see a more perfect cookie smart bike, and also hoping that I will not miss the opportunity to buy again.

1) Increase the range of headlight irradiation, at least 5 meters more, so that we can have a good judgment on the obstacles on the road. Riding Wuyuanwan Wetland Park at night, it is difficult to achieve a good lighting by relying on headlights. Another problem is that when the headlights are on for a long time, they often turn off briefly, and then turn on again a few seconds later. The cause of this problem is unknown, but it should be solved by upgrading the system.

2) The front handlebar vibrates slightly less. The vibration of the handlebar of the road vehicle itself is relatively large when riding on the asphalt road, and the vibration of the handlebar is easy to be automatically ignored. It would be better if the vibration intensity could be increased.

3) Can Bluetooth function be adapted to headphones? The addition of Bluetooth headset adaptation can make the voice reminder of the navigation clearer, and it does not need to be advertised like a loudspeaker.

4) There is no space between the five way keys, which is not convenient for judgment during blind operation and easy to misoperate. If the interval between keys can be increased, it should be more suitable for blind operation. The force of keys can also be increased appropriately to avoid misoperation. Sometimes when moving the vehicle, you will encounter the B key, and the voice of "Come on, come on, come on!" sounds in the office. It's embarrassing

5) The control adopts the dual control mode of WeChat and APP to meet the needs of different users. The disadvantage of WeChat is that the navigation map cannot be offline, and it cannot automatically turn on Bluetooth. Occasionally, you may forget to turn on Bluetooth. Cookie itself has an APP with cycling records. It should not be complicated to add a module to control the vehicle, so that the map can be offline, save traffic, and automatically turn on Bluetooth, or remind the user to turn on Bluetooth.
