JVC GC-DRE10 Dashcam - Need you guys opinion about this Dashcam. There are many other Dashcam at cheaper rate available, but most of them are Chinese products. Also JVC comes with inbuilt battery which will work for 3-4 hours without connecting the cam into car cigarette lighter port

I am looking at it as I want to remove the Dashcam fitted on the IRVM which hinder the rear view, especially during night drive (nothing visible when the cam is on) .

Pleased to hear

Thanks

Easykit-1024x576.png

Strictly Electric, a Mumbai-based EV startup has launched India’s First Universal Electric conversion Kit for Bicycles called the EasyKit. The company claims that if you own a regular bicycle, you can upgrade it to an electric one in less than 20 minutes in a completely DIY manner with its own EasyKit.


EasyKit Features


  • The battery box is compact and detachable, so you can charge the battery anytime and anywhere.
  • You can take out the battery box and use it as a normal cycle if you feel like it.
  • Since it is a universal kit, you can just use the same kit on a different cycle anytime you wish to switch things up.
  • The upgrading process is simple
  • The operational cost is around 10 paise/kilometer. Much more affordable than an average petrol vehicle. This means you will be able to recover the cost of the kit if you use it as an alternative for your petrol mopeds for shorter commutes.
  • The range of the EasyKit is 25 km and the kit charges up to 70 percent in 1 hour.

I found a few gadgets that can be interesting to some of you.

Ztylus Stinger Pro Escape Tool

Ztylus-Stinger-Plus-Tool.jpg
In emergencies, this unique escape tool from Ztylus is capable of (somewhat) safely puncturing glass with its durable, spring-loaded window punch and cutting seatbelts thanks to its razor-sharp blade. The term “lifesaver” can be thrown around sparingly to describe a number of products, but few embody the meaning as much as this.

Available at Amazon

Tymate Tire Pressure Monitoring system

TyMate-Tire-Pressure-Monitor-System.jpg

A solar-charged pressure monitoring system will be a great pick-up to complement your tire inflator, and hope you’ll find yourself having to make more use of the former. As a result, consider Tymate’s option, as it seems the perfect accessory for any dashboard. It comes equipped with a handful of alarm modes, including a fast leak alarm, pressure alarm, and temperature alarm.

Available at Amazon

++

Baseus Car Vacuum Cleaner

Baseus-Car-Vaccum.jpg

Although it’s suitable for far more than just a car, this handy, cordless vacuum boasts up to 45 minutes of power and a powerful double filtration system. Its metal composition makes for a sleek look, as well, assuring you that this isn’t one of those many bulky, portable options crowding up space in your car.
