Designed by Stephen Dettman, this concept device is called MotoMap. It is supposed to be an inexpensive alternative to those pricey bike GPS navigation systems. It uses Powerfilm flexible solar panels and E-Ink flexible displays – technologies that haven’t matured yet.

MotoMap wraps around the fuel tank and stays put thanks to the magnets in it. There’s also the adjustable strap to secure the device further. One side of the device is the display for the GPS navigation system, and the other side is reserved Powerfilm flexible solar panel. Not a bad idea.
