Garmin’s Varia Radar for eBikes Detects Cars Before You Do
It’s got your back while you ride ahead.
Garmin’s Varia™ eRTL615 rearview radar for eBikes is the first battery-free radar, designed to add peace of mind to every ride. Plugging directly into your compatible eBike’s power source, it detects traffic approaching from behind and gives you visible and audible alerts on your compatible Garmin smartwatch or cycling computer, or your smartphone with the Varia™ app. It also has a tail light to make you more visible to drivers.
The Varia eRTL615 offers the following features:
