My "other" vote is in regards to: tire technology (especially anti-flat designs), add-on farings/aero stuff, and mounted weapon systems, including dog/wildlife sonic/natural chemical repellants, EMP generators and communications/data jamming devices (ECM).

"Lighting" vote mainly applies to integrated frame/component lighting systems (tubing and handlebar LEDs for focused beam, flood, braking and directional signals).

I voted for LED Lights/onboard or helmets, the rest is just junk no one really has a need for just to ride a bike, they just want them; sort of like do you need a new $100,000 car? No, when the sweet spot for a new car is around $35,000 give or take $5,000, because this is where you get modern safety tech, solid reliability (if you pick a car from a maker that has a historic reliability record), and comfort without paying for luxury trims, or oversized engines, or bundled premium packages you don’t need. That sweet spot here in America is $15,000 LESS than the average price car! Believe or not, a lot of millionaires know this sweet spot stuff, and they buy those cars if they're buying new.
