Cables & Wiring:		All cables and wiring are internally routed for weather protection and to provide a sleeker, more elegant appearance
Lighting:*		Bright, high-efficiency LEDs are microprocessor controlled. Lighting system includes: Headlight - bright, white LEDs turn on automatically based on ambient lighting conditions to provide low or high lighting, lights also turn off automatically in bright conditions or after a period of inactivity (no bike motion) Taillight - red tinted taillight illuminates automatically along with the headlight and under braking (just like a car's brake lights) Turn Signals - Front (amber) and back (red) turn signals are activated by a handlebar mounted switch, integration with the Bigha's compass means the turn signals automatically turn off after a change of direction
Security:*		Upon activation, system emits a warning beep if bike is moved (the security system detects motion in any direction, the bike does not have to be rolling for the system to activate) — if movement persists, a 100-decibel alarm is emitted until the motion stops. Alarm is armed and disarmed using a small, cylindrical key included with the bike (each key carries a unique code).
