Revolutionize Your Hyundai Ioniq 5 Experience: Innovative Stick-On Rear Wiper Solution for a Flawless Drive
The Ultimate Solution for Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owners: GeckoWiper
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to own a Hyundai Ioniq 5 without a rear windshield wiper? Well, it’s not a pleasant experience, as many early adopters found out the hard way. But fear not, because Robert, a Swiss R&D engineer, has created a revolutionary solution to this problem – the GeckoWiper.
A Game-Changer for Ioniq 5 Owners
The GeckoWiper is a removable rear wiper specifically designed for pre-2025 Ioniq 5 models. It’s a plug-and-play solution that uses both a vacuum seal and magnet to keep it in place while in use and when the vehicle is moving. The installation process takes seconds, and the magnetic remote makes activation easy.
Key Features:
- Removable rear wiper for pre-2025 Ioniq 5 models
- Plug-and-play design
- Vacuum seal and magnet for secure attachment
- Magnetic remote for easy activation
- Compact design with USB-C charging
Design and Functionality:
While the GeckoWiper may not be the most aesthetically pleasing design, it’s a functional solution that gets the job done. The device is designed to be used intermittently, with two swipes of the windshield before it turns off and goes into standby mode. While this may not be ideal for heavy rain or snowfall, it’s a significant improvement over having no rear wiper at all.
Compatibility and Future Plans:
The GeckoWiper is currently fully compatible with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but Robert and his team are working towards adapting it for other non-rear wiper applications, including the Kia EV6, Genesis GV60, Polestar 2, and Tesla lineup. No word yet on the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X twins, which also have the same design flaw.
Pricing and Availability:
The GeckoWiper price is approximately 385 Swiss francs (CHF) or $459, with super early bird backers able to snag one for CHF 269 ($320) or reserve one now at the discounted price of CHF 369 ($439). Available worldwide, deliveries are expected to start in February.
Conclusion:
The GeckoWiper is a innovative solution for Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners who find themselves without a rear windshield wiper. While it may not be the most stylish design, it’s a functional and easy-to-use solution that gets the job done. With its compact design and magnetic remote, the GeckoWiper is a must-have accessory for any Ioniq 5 owner looking to improve their driving experience.
