Attach this wiper to your motorcycle viper to have a safer ride in the rain

I live in a city that has a steadily growing motorcycle population. We also get a lot of rainy seasons and storms visit our country on a regular basis. The combination of rain and driving a motorcycle is a pretty dangerous one. While there are water repellent sprays available but it won’t work when you’re driving at slower and regular speeds.

Bikerguard was invented by two Slovenian engineers and is something you can attack to motorcycle helmet visors to make sure you still have visibility even if it’s raining hard. It’s basically a detachable and remote-controlled wiper blade that will wipe off the rain water that can obstruct the view of the riders. It has a brushless motor that will reduce the need for manual wiping of your visor.

The bikerguard unit has a rugged and IPX-6 waterproof design and when fully charged, you get 5 to 15 hours of continuous use. You screw the mounting base through the top of your visor on first use but after that you can just attach and re-attach the wiper when you need it. The remote wireless controller can be attached to any motorcycle handlebar so you can easily turn the wiper on and off.

While of course you can just use the normal sprays and coatings that is readily available for most motorcycle riders, using “good old physics” or wipers are still the best way to go about riding in the rain. It costs around $330 and is available on the Bikerguard website.

This Carbon Nanotube and Graphene wiper blade keeps your windshield clear from drops, dust, and scratches




One could argue that windshield wipers are safety devices. Just like your seatbelt and the airbag, a windshield wiper keeps you safe by clearing your vision while you’re driving in inclement weather. However, seatbelts and airbags have very strict design guidelines and performance specifications… the windshield wiper doesn’t. It plays a crucial role in enhancing driver visibility in the rain, but it’s perhaps the weakest link in your car, and chances are that it almost never gets repaired or replaced when it needs to be.

While the issue with the windshield wiper is more of a systemic problem, the KIMBLADE NANO has a design and material solution. With 4 years of experience and a pretty successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2018 (and even being referred to as the ‘Dyson’ of windshield wipers), the team behind the KIMBLADE NANO has developed the most effective, efficient, and everlasting wiper design. It uses revolutionary materials and a tried and tested design to create a wiper that’s more durable and much better at keeping your windshield crystal clear during precipitation.

The highlight of the KIMBLADE NANO is its use of CNT (Carbon Nano Tubes) in the wiper blades. The blades themselves are made of silicon, but sport a thin layer of CNT at their tip that allows the wiper to clean the glass with sheer perfection and minimal degradation over time. The silicone and CNT blades last MUCH longer than traditional rubber blades do, and they sport a rectangular edge that’s much more efficient at picking up and sweeping water away from the glass windshield. The rectangular edge is perhaps the most important bit of innovation in the KIMBLADE NANO. Unlike other wipers that use a squeegee-style flat surface, the KIMBLADE NANO’s rectangular edge makes a more precise edge-contact with the windshield. In doing so, it doesn’t spread or relocate the water the way other wipers do, it completely wipes it out of the way, giving you a clean pane of glass. The rectangular profile of the KIMBLADE NANO even allows it to change directions as your wiper moves back and forth, moving smoothly as opposed to some wipers that end up creating that unpleasant rubbery noise as they drag against the glass surface like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Interestingly enough, not only do the blades efficiently wipe water away from the glass, they even coat the glass with a hydrophobic layer, allowing it to repel water even when the wipers aren’t moving. This process helps preserve the life of the wiper, because water drops don’t dry up on the glass, leaving hard water stains or dirt behind. This keeps the glass clean at all times and the wiper blades too, allowing them to last for years as opposed to rubber blades that give up within just the first month or two of the monsoons.

The KIMBLADE NANO is designed to be compatible with a wide host of cars, and their model selection tool makes it incredibly easy to find the right wiper for your car’s brand and make. Each KIMBLADE NANO even comes with a set of cleaner and treatment wet-wipes that help remove fine contaminants and fill in any cavities or scratches, making the glass as good as new. These wipes help increase the transparency of your windshield and preserve the quality of your KIMBLADE NANO over time. However, in the event that some debris accidentally damages your wiper blade, KIMBLADE NANO’s easy-to-replace design lets you pop the silicone wiper blade and replace it with a new one in mere seconds.

KIMBLADE NANO: Wiper Blade Reinvented

Reinforced by Carbon Nano Tubes and Graphene, the KIMBLADE NANO allows the wiper blade to clean the glass with sheer perfection and minimal degradation over time.

Strong Water-repellent Coating Power

No need to get a water-repellent coating for your windshield anymore. KIMBLADE wipers act as the water-repellent coating.

Muddy Water Bucket Test

Enhanced Cleaning & Wiping Performance

The wiper uses a Rectangular blade (4-bar linkage structure) that produces a smooth and spotless window surface.

Enhanced Durability

They have applied customized materials in two parts – one is where smooth movement is needed, and another is where it is in direct contact with the water-repellent coated glass.

Wiper blades have a complex structure with each component serving its own function. The upper part of the wiper blade is made of flexible and durable material that securely holds the wiper blade and allows it to be used for a long time without tearing. KIMBLADE’s core technology, CNT-reinforced special silicone, is used at the tip of the blade, which touches the glass directly and wipes rain and water off the glass. The specially reinforced silicone minimizes tearing from foreign substances, works smoothly on the glass, and forms a coating film on the glass surface.

High/Low Temperature Resistance – The existing rubber wiper is relatively vulnerable to strong sunlight, freezing weather, ultraviolet rays, and ozone, resulting in an increase of deformation and corrosion as time goes by.

Kimblade wiper is made out of special double-layered silicon and is very stable regarding deformation and corrosion even when exposed to various environmental circumstances, enabling a user to experience reliability and convenience.

Adding CNT to Improve Durability – CNT is the next-generation material that has a tube-shaped atomic arrangement and has high strength, as well as thermal and electrical conductivity. Like reinforcing bars in concrete, CNT can be added to silicone as a reinforcing material to make CNT-silicon a composite material. This composite material was used to make the wiper blade so as to improve durability and increase mechanical strength while maintaining elasticity.

Water Repellency

Quickly and effectively wipes away! One wipe instantly cleans and dries!

Even when your wiper does not work, you can drive safely if you have a clear view.

If raindrops can flow down instead of remaining on the glass, refraction of light is minimized and the view distortion is reduced.

WiperSwiper Squeegees Your Car Window As It Rolls Back Up

viperswiper-1

We have a rule: no lowering the car windows for at least two hours after getting a car wash. Doing otherwise means streaks that you can’t get rid of without physically getting out of the car and wiping them. For anyone obsessed about keeping their vehicle clean, this is a reality. But now with the ViperSwiper, those days may come to an end. It’s a strip of rubber that you install on the outside of your car, sandwiched between the window and its regular rubber lip. The ViperSwiper then squeegees your window clean as you roll it back up, getting rid of any streak marks that would normally be there after a wash. It does require self-installation, but it seems pretty straightforward and requires no tools other than a scissor. And it will need changing every 3 to 6 months, like regular wipers. Fortunately, it’s pretty cheap, at $20 for two 40 inch strips that you cut down to size. If the Kickstarter funds, you can expect them by February 2016.

I have experienced driving in foggy and rainy conditions and know the kind of danger it poses for tailing cars. Ideas like the Wipers LED Barricade Lights are innovative and can go on to prevent accidents. Most often, smaller cars just have to rely on their taillights and flasher to warn others behind them, so this wiper plus LED Display can reduce the risk of accidents. Great work!
