MWC 2025 is not only home to the major manufacturers from the mobile industry. There are also some small companies and curious products. These include BleeqUp, which presented the world’s first 4-in-1 AI cycling glasses, the Ranger. But what exactly are these cycling glasses with AI?

Sunglasses, Action Cam, and Walkie-Talkie in One

The glasses are available in both light and dark variants, with mirrored lenses that prevent others from seeing the wearer’s eyes. The wearer sees the surroundings as if through sunglasses, i.e., somewhat more subdued than usual. The glasses offer UV protection, are IP54-rated for sweat and splash resistance, and feature an anti-fog coating.

As mentioned, the special feature of the Ranger is the ability to record the surroundings from the wearer’s eyes while cycling. The full HD camera is located directly in the glasses and is supported by AI-supported video processing. It analyzes the recorded material and automatically highlights the best moments. This allows riders to save or share exciting sections, scenic highlights, and critical situations quickly and easily. BleeqUp promises recordings like an action cam, with an EIS algorithm specially developed for cycling to ensure blur-free shots.

Thanks to an additional helmet battery pack, videos can be recorded for up to five hours. An integrated rear light is also designed to ensure greater safety when riding at night.

Ranger from BleeqUp with Open-Ear Headphones and Voice Control

The cycling glasses also include open-ear headphones with a walkie-talkie function directly in the temples. These are barely noticeable when worn. In general, the glasses fit snugly but not uncomfortably on the head and are not particularly heavy. BleeqUp reports that the glasses weigh a mere 50 grams. The manufacturer has opted for open-ear headphones so that wearers can still hear their surroundings while riding. Wind noise is filtered out by special drivers. In addition, the walkie-talkie function ensures that two or more cyclists can communicate with each other on the road without having to use their cell phones.

The Ranger is controlled by voice, and there is also the option of attaching a Bluetooth remote control to the handlebars of the bike, which can also be used to operate the glasses. The glasses use Google Maps for navigation.
