It has been an incredible busy time for all parties involved in bringing Solos wearable to market. We were very pleased with the results of USA Cycling at the Rio games, unfortunately the International Olympic Committee (IOC) controls media coverage and communications of the Olympics and the athletes, which restricted our ability to communicate during the games.
We have made amazing progress on the past few weeks securing the critical technology components for the production of Solos and we want you to know that the project is on track and we look forward to shipping Solos wearable in October.
We will continue to inform you of our progress with more regular updates as we continue in this journey together.
Thank you all for your great support!

Hey there Solos fans! Just wanted to quickly say THANK YOU so much for your fantastic support and thoughtful questions during our Kickstarter campaign.
With your help, we were able to raise $128,179 (over 250% of our goal) to make this project come to life. I know a lot of you are super eager to get your hands on your Solos, and we can assure you we are excited to get them to you too! So with that, we wanted to cover a few things coming down the road for next steps:
1) Stay on the lookout for a Survey from BackerKit! We will be using BackerKit to manage our survey process to make the whole thing simpler for everyone. So please keep an eye out for an email from them.
2) Your feedback has been invaluable! We’ve had so many insightful questions and great feedback during this campaign that we’re already working on implementing a few of your suggestions. So stay tuned for updates on those.
3) We have now finalized the transition of our reference designs to our manufacturing partners. We are on schedule to finalize the tools and all of our electronics to be on schedule with our production and delivery plans. The team is very excited to share this journey with and will continue to inform you on our production progress.
So thank you again and we will be in touch. We’re excited to ship your Solos to you soon!
Best,
Solos Team
Solos Update! Gearing up for Rio, Production, and More...

Hey there Solos fans, first of all a BIG thank you to all of you for your amazing support! We have now surpassed 200% of our initial goal and are well past the $100,000 mark. (Placing us in the top 5% of Kickstarter projects this year!)
Production Update
We're currently working hard to turn our prototype hardware design into production ready product! Because we hit our goal so quickly (again thanks to you), we're already working closely with our manufacturing partner to get all of the tools ready for production. Everything is looking to be on schedule :)
Your Feedback Is Incredibly Valuable
Your feedback has really helped us refine the product and your thoughtful questions have proven to be incredibly valuable to us, so we appreciate that.
Many of you have asked us about the ANT+ connectivity. Solos has been engineered to have the capability of connecting to supported ANT+ profiles and still maximizing the power of your Smartphone to process and collect all of your ride data. Solos has now officially become a member of the ANT+ alliance to ensure we can fully support and work with your ANT+ enabled sensors.
On to Rio!
It has been an intense couple of weeks working with the national Track team in their last few training camps towards Rio. Their amazing feedback has been essential to refine the design as we work towards production. You're going to love your Solos. And remember to cheer on Team USA in Rio this year!

We've reached over 150% of out goal!
With your support we've surpassed our goal and we're making great progress on designing some really exciting stretch goals for everyone. Stay tuned for that. We'd love to hear your input on what you'd like to see as a stretch goal!
Solos at Tour De California and More!
After unveiling Project 2016 , the Solos team introduced the smart glasses at the Tour of California in Sacramento where riders and attendees were able to check out the latest development smart glasses and experience first hand what it feels to wear a pair of Solos. It was fantastic having people try them and sign up to get their own pair!
Project 2016: We were honored to attend the unveiling of Project t2016 in California. Solos forms part of a group of nine best-in-class partners that have created Project 2016, Providing a state-of-the-art technology ecosystem and a revolutionary team pursuit bicycle designed to make the 2016 World Champion women’s pursuit team the fastest at the Rio Olympics.
USA Masters and Pro Road Race Nationals. The Solos team went out to Winston Salem- NC to support USA Cycling Pro riders and showcase the Solos technologies to racers and event attendees . It was great to have folks sign up and support our launch campaign. It was great to have everyone provide their feedback show great enthusiasm to bring Solos to market.
Thanks for all your support and feedback. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. We're here to help.
