Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Wednesday, he is interested in a refreshing vest to keep himself cool on a motorcycle.

The innovation of the day should interest two-wheeler drivers (especially with the return of good weather).

You have found air conditioning designed especially for bikers.

We are talking about real air conditioning on top of that.

And reversible please!

That is to say, it can heat up to 38 ° in winter.

And above all, cool down to 18 ° in summer.

To have all the safety equipment (helmet, jacket, pants, gloves and boots) in the middle of the mountain is really unbearable.

This is why some people go so far as to put themselves in danger by driving in shorts, thongs and T-shirts.

We remind you, all the same, that it is forbidden.

But what does this air conditioning look like?

Is there a wind tunnel?

Do you need a special motorcycle?

No.

In fact, the cooling is done through a very thin vest that will be slipped under your jacket.

And in which we circulate a refreshing liquid.

The system works in two parts, with a mechanism to be installed at the front on the fork of the motorcycle.

It allows you to take advantage of the wind to refresh the famous liquid.

This means that you have to connect your vest to the motorcycle for the assembly to work.

But in the event of a fall, everything automatically disconnects to stay safe.

It's pretty smart.

A Toulouse innovation from the startup Chill Ride.

But that will be expensive: we are talking about marketing around 1,200 euros.

Indeed, it is expensive.

This is the whole problem of motorcycle comfort equipment.

There are a lot of choices for heating in winter.

But nothing for the summer except a few ventilated jackets or vests that must be wet.

Another active system, this is a refreshing saddle for Indian motorcycles (high end motorcycles).

And here too, we reach 1,600 euros.

This may be the solution: directly equipping the bike with a refreshing chassis.

Because there is not only the external heat.

There is also that of the engine and the exhausts.

So plenty to keep your buttocks warm.
