Media > Bluestar Technology Launches a Highly Competitive Smart Dashboard Solution Based on the Realtek Platform

From 2025 to 2030, the integration of smart connectivity technologies in China's cycling equipment sector is expected to significantly accelerate and deepen. Key drivers include market synergy, data-driven approaches, technological innovation, and predictive planning. As consumer demand for healthy lifestyles and tech-enhanced products grows, the cycling industry is rapidly incorporating smart connectivity, intelligent display, and smart riding ecosystem technologies. This caters to the increasing need for personalized, intelligent, and efficient solutions, delivering new user experiences in safety, convenience, and entertainment.

Touchless control technology is becoming widespread, allowing cyclists to access mobile information, manage navigation for easy start-stop, quickly switch songs, or make calls without touching a screen or removing their hands from the handlebars. This ensures safe riding while enabling smart interactions and real-time display of vehicle data.

Against the backdrop of accelerating urbanization and the widespread adoption of green, low-carbon concepts, bicycles have evolved from traditional transportation tools to key components of urban mobility systems. This includes diverse forms such as shared bikes, smart e-bikes, and sports cycling equipment. By the end of 2024, over 32 million shared bikes had been deployed across China, covering 99% of cities at the prefecture level and above. Daily ridership exceeded 22 million, serving a user base of 420 million. However, challenges in operation management, safety, and service quality are becoming increasingly prominent. Advancing the intelligent transformation of cycling vehicles is no longer just an optional upgrade; it has become an essential requirement to address industry bottlenecks, meet urban governance needs, and satisfy user demand for quality.

From the perspective of technological development and market trends, the intelligent transformation of cycling vehicles is both feasible and holds vast potential. Currently, technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) have reached mature application stages, providing solid technical support for this transformation. The global smart cycling market is expanding rapidly, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7% from 2025 to 2030. For China, the CAGR is expected to remain around 30%, with the market size potentially surpassing 50 billion yuan by 2030. This dual momentum of technological maturity and market growth further underscores the necessity and urgency of intelligent transformation for cycling vehicles.

Intelligent transformation serves not only as a technical solution to operational pain points and efficiency improvements but also as a core pathway to support refined urban governance, promote green and low-carbon practices, and meet users' quality expectations. It is also an inevitable choice to align with policy guidance and drive standardized industry development. As technology continues to evolve and applications deepen, intelligent transformation will reshape the cycling ecosystem, injecting strong momentum into high-quality urban transportation development and the proliferation of green lifestyles.

To address market demands, Bluestar Technology has developed two smart dashboard solutions based on the Realtek RTL8762DW and RTL8773EWP platforms. The company offers convenient and flexible service models to facilitate rapid customer product integration and deployment. The Bluestar solutions support screen sizes ranging from 2.4 inches, 2.8 inches, 3.2 inches, 4.3 inches, to 5 inches, catering to diverse customer product requirements.

The Bluestar Technology Smart Dashboard Solution offers a wealth of intelligent features, giving the product a strong sense of technological sophistication.
