2. HARLEY-DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE MOTORCYCLE
Harley Davidson, the American motorcycle manufacturer, is moving into uncharted territory. No longer can the motorcycle manufacturer ignore the upcoming threats from electrified propulsion. At CES 2019, Harley Davidson debuted the production version of its Livewire motorcycle, the first electric motorcycle by the company. The LiveWire targets a new demographic of motorcycle riders, one that appreciates a quiet machine for urban street riding while emitting no greenhouse gasses. Due to its electric nature, the Livewire requires no clutch or gear shifting. The Livewire is Harley Davidson’s lunge into the modern world.
3. BrainRobotics Prosthetic hand
BrainRobotics, founded in 2016, is in the final stages of releasing its affordable mind controlled prosthesis. BrainRobotics CEO and Founder Bicheng Han says this device can help users grab, hold and move objects such as cups; or possibly type on a keyboard. Patients can also use an app to further personalize gestures. According to Han, there are three or four similar prosthetic limbs on the market, but these can cost patients over $70,000. The company claims that only two percent of amputees can afford the price of current technology enabled prosthetic limb options. BrianRobotics plans to release the artificial upper limb for around $2,000 to $3,000 later this year.

CES has been a hotbed of wearable tech for the last few years. Manufacturers use the stage to showcase new products & innovative designs. However, few wearables stick out from the crowd. The new Matrix PowerWatch 2 is trying to do just that. While most watches need to be charged every 24-48 hours, the PowerWatch 2 will never need to be plugged in. The PowerWatch 2 runs on solar cell & thermoelectric technology which enables it to charge via solar power & body heat.
Boasting a 1.2” color LCD display & a 200 meter water resistance depth, the PowerWatch 2 will provide endless fitness activity tracking & notifications. Currently an Indiegogo campaign, the PowerWatch 2 is planned to ship this summer with an MSRP of $499. The watch also has the flexibility to operate on Apple or Android ecosystems.
