Desire / Avatar

Avatar: Adult cyclists (25–60), commuters, road cyclists, and recreational riders who cycle regularly on roads or bike paths and want a safer, more comfortable riding experience.
Core Desire: Stay aware of traffic behind them without interrupting their focus or riding position.

Description

Opens with "POV: Checking Behind Could End in Disaster." A cyclist repeatedly turns to look over their shoulder, becoming distracted and losing balance. The TriEye Classic Glasses are introduced, showing the integrated rear-view mirror that lets riders monitor what's behind while looking ahead.

Why this works

  • Demonstrates a real-world use case parents instantly understand.
  • Solves a practical problem without interrupting the ride.
  • Sells reassurance and awareness rather than just an accessory.

Description

Shows how easy the glasses are to use in three steps: put on the glasses, tilt the rear-view mirror to your preferred angle, and instantly see what's behind you. A lifestyle scene of a female cyclist shows the mirror reflecting approaching traffic while she looks forward.

Why this works
