Hidden motorcycle vibrator is more virtuous than it sounds

Motorcycle safety tech has come a long way. From rider aids like traction control, cornering ABS, radar-based cruise control, and blind-spot detection to wearable tech on helmets and gloves. But just when I thought I'd seen it all, along comes ViberAlert, a product that poses a simple, yet deeply unsettling question: What if your motorcycle seat could vibrate to keep you safe?

... Yup, you read that right.

ViberAlert is essentially a smart motorcycle seat insert equipped with vibrating actuators that deliver real-time haptic feedback directly to your backside.

And while it may sound like a prank, the company insists it's all in the name of road safety, awareness, and rider focus.

The concept is surprisingly straightforward.

Instead of relying on visual alerts or audio cues, which can be distracting, easy to miss, or outright annoying while riding, ViberAlert communicates through vibrations.

Lean too hard, exceed a set speed threshold, or approach a hazard, and the seat buzzes to alert you. No beeps.

No flashing icons.

Just a gentle reminder from ... below. ...

I rented a car, can't remember what model, and it had a seat -------- if you were say backing up and a car was too close. Freaking irritating.
