About

AptEner aims to provide unparalleled comfort for two-wheeler riders through its BluArmor range of smart multi-functional products. Two-wheeler riders today do not enjoy the same level of commuting comfort as their four-wheeled counterparts. Features like climate control, defogging, connectivity, 360-degree vision that someone driving a four-wheeler takes for granted today are not available for the two-wheeler rider. AptEner aims to address this gap by using its pioneering wearable-cooling technology as the centre piece of a series of bike accessories that will dramatically alter how commuting on two wheels is perceived
