INJAZ Al-Arab: Team Hasib

When the pandemic dramatically increased the number of bike riders across the Middle East, accidents and injuries also skyrocketed. One team of student entrepreneurs devised a high-tech solution.

In Bahrain, bikes are used as often as cars, but without the built-in protection that cars provide. 

Team Hasib, a JA student company from INJAZ Bahrain that won the INJAZ Al-Arab Young Enterpreneurs Celebration in 2022,, was especially concerned that accidents would drive down the number of cyclists and drive up the number of cars on the road, negating the environmental gains made during the pandemic. So the team invented a product that alerts drivers by both sound and a visual warning whenever car comes within 2.5 meters of the rider. 

Team Hasib—Habiba Maher, Hussain Al Mahoozi, Fatima Al Goud, Lulwa Osama, and Rashid Mahmood—put efficient and well-placed sensors into a small box designed to fit under the bike seat, thus creating an innovative early-alert signal cyclists may be in danger.

Hasib—which means “be careful” in Arabic—is revolutionizing Bahrainian bike travel and encouraging more riders to leave their cars at home. Like many JA student companies, profit meets sustainability seamlessly.
