What is SmartHalo ?
SmartHalo is a smart, connected, award-winning device for urban cyclists.
It installs securely on your handlebar and pairs with your smartphone to
provide navigation instructions, a night to light your path at night, an alarm
system that keeps your bike safe against thieves, a tness tracker, as well
as a personal assistant feature to keep you connected. In this user manual,
you’ll learn how to set up SmartHalo on your bike and make the most of it !
Happy cycling.

but you skipped the installation instructions, you can always go back by
clicking on the Prole Icon, which opens the left panel, and then on Install
instructions.

A few tips
If the rubber inserts marked with an (A)
make the brackets too tight and the
rubber inserts marked with a (B) make
the brackets too loose, you can try using
one (A) and one (B) to achieve a
balanced t.
This is rare, but if there seems to be any
interference between SmartHalo and
the stem of your bike that is preventing
a good t, you can use the spacers to
elevate SmartHalo. Instructions to add
the spacers can be accessed from the
"Help" button at the end of the
installation instructions.
Did you try using all rubber inserts?
If you have and that it still doesn't t, get
in touch with us by pressing the Submit
a request button. Please provide all
relevant information on your bike,
including the diameter of your handlebar,
as well as a picture.
It is also possible that something on
your handlebar is blocking. Depending
on the width of your stem, SmartHalo
needs 2-2.5mm of space on either side.
So you can try move what is blocking
(a basket, a bell, a light) to make enough
space for your SmartHalo. Otherwise,
you could also place SmartHalo on
either side of the stem (although that
would break the perfect symmetry...).

The rst time that you want to connect to your SmartHalo, you'll be
prompted to create an account. This account will link to your SmartHalo
– you'll be the only one to be able to connect to it. That way, even if your
SmartHalo stays outside at night, nobody else will be able to connect to
it. If you lose your phone, or simply change phone, you'll still be able to
connect to your SmartHalo by simply downloading the app again and login
in on the same account. That is because SmartHalo links to an account,
not a phone.
Also, SmartHalo is meant to be linked to your account from inside the app,
not from the system's Bluetooth settings.
Linking SmartHalo to a new account
If you open the app for the rst time: create a new account and follow the
instructions – one of the steps consists of linking your account with your
SmartHalo device.
