Now, Bionx can include an app that is compatible with iOS and Android and a Bluetooth Module to their list of innovations.

Available for Android and iOS, the new Bluetooth device provides connectivity by plugging it into the new RC3 controller on the handlebar and pairing it with your smart phone.” (“Ride Bionx”, 2016).
