I tried Googling this but couldnt find what I am looking for. Recently a student(maybe DCU) designed a bike and won a competition to get funding to produce it.

Some features the bike had.
-Connected with Ipod.
-Sent text to you when bike is stolen.
-Bike locks when the phone is taken out.
-Recharges batteries when bike is on its breaks.

Any ideas?

Basically I want to find out when I can buy it.
