According to Amazon, Cybic is the first company to offer an Alexa-enabled bike. The complete range, which includes a hybrid and non-electric Legend, will be sold in the UK through Halfrods . A Cybic spokesperson hinted that the bicycles will come to other markets later.
           The Cybic E-Legend has a small color-display computer, nestled in the middle of the handlebars, that houses a small speaker and far-field microphone array. The latter was surprisingly sensitive -- on the show floor, packed with loud attendees, it picked up my "Alexa" requests just fine. Of course, a convention booth is quite different to real-life riding conditions. I'll be interested to see how the microphones hold up while I'm riding at high speed, with plenty of wind and noisy cars around me.
