LeEco's Android-powered smart road bike is for hardcore cyclists
LeEco, the eccentric maker of TVs, phones, cars and bikes, has a new pair of high-end smart bikes to show off here at CES 2017. The company hasn't even brought its original Super Bike to market yet, but it's already refined the concept to make its new offerings more practical for serious cyclists. Gone are the heavy dynamos and size limitation; this year's vehicles come in two flavors, and are more lightweight. The new, somewhat blandly named Smart Road Bike and Smart Mountain Bike pack a new version of LeEco's Android-based Bike OS software that now supports a small selection of third-party sensors. I hopped on a prototype road bike the company was showing off for the first time here in Las Vegas, and so far I find the idea of a smart bike slightly questionable.

New Balance is launching a fitness-focused Android Wear watch
Fitness company New Balance is releasing its first Android Wear watch, the RunIQ. In line with the brand, it's a running-focused smartwatch that the company is developing through partnerships with Intel (for hardware), Google (for software), and Strava (for run tracking).
The RunIQ has a built-in GPS and heart rate monitor for tracking runs, and is waterproof up to 5ATM of pressure. New Balance is claiming up to five hours of battery life for the RunIQ while actively using the GPS, or up to 24 hours for what it terms “typical use.” However, while the RunIQ will be running Android Wear, it’s still unclear whether or not it will be running the upcoming 2.0 version of the smartwatch OS when it launches.
