Now this could be interesting : Bike A/C

Wow- it sure looks strange (and it's not cheap at the equivalent of 45K baht before the import tax hit) but it's a great idea- no doubt the units will get smaller over time (if this one proves to be popular)- a black hose would sure be a lot less noticeable...

Good find.

WOW - when will we see an ashtray?

I've already got the cigarette lighter (well, the plug at any rate;)).

Aussie are an inventive lot aren't they.

It sounds ok but not cheap.But if I have to go thru all that,I would probably use the car.I'm on the lazy side.And the price don't sound good either.Maybe I'm just cheap,and lazy

Once they start making them in China they will be able to slash at least 10k baht off the price!

I wouldn't bother with a 'bike A/C' during a 2-3 hour back-road ride, but for a long touring day (that included stretches of heavy traffic) it could be great- at the moment it looks like it takes up too much precious cargo space, but if it can be made smaller (which might not be possible- I don't know how small an A/C compressor can go and still be effective) it could make a huge difference to the condition of the rider during a big day of traveling.

Very nifty, thanks for posting.

Sent - how is not that important...

Made in China they will probably sell for 10k.

A/C for bikes.

Might as well buy a bleedin' car.

My vented jacket came with pads filled with beads. Soak in water, place in jacket front and back, provides cooling via evaporation.

Lasts a few hours, easy to re-hydrate.

That and a bandana with the same beads works well for me.

For riding in the Aus heat in leathers this is a god send.

No compressor in the unit, its an electronic cooling device (peltier effect device or something similar). Only moving part is the fans so should be a reliable piece of kit.
