Acer Gadget’s AI Wearables and E-Mobility Push: The Future of Connected Living
From health-tracking rings to translation earbuds, Acer doubles down on smart tech
At Computex 2025 in Taiwan, Acer Gadget unveiled a lineup of AI-powered wearables and electric mobility solutions designed to blur the lines between health, connectivity, and transportation. Leading the charge were the Acer FreeSense Ring and Acer AI TransBuds—two devices that promise to redefine how we interact with technology daily. The FreeSense Ring, crafted from lightweight titanium alloy, isn’t just another fitness tracker. It monitors heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, and sleep quality, with all data crunched by an AI-driven mobile app. Unlike competitors, Acer insists on zero subscription fees for health insights, a move that could disrupt the wellness tech market.
“The FreeSense Ring isn’t just about metrics—it’s about actionable, personalized wellness without paywalls,” an Acer rep noted during the demo.
Meanwhile, the AI TransBuds take language barriers head-on. With real-time translation for 15 languages, these earbuds require just one bud for two-way communication, making them ideal for travelers or multilingual workplaces. They also support live captioning and transcription, turning conversations into searchable text. Acer’s focus on practicality shines here: no clunky setups, no paired devices—just seamless cross-language chat.
E-scooters, e-bikes, and the Predator eRanger: Acer’s mobility gambit
But Acer Gadget didn’t stop at wearables. The company showcased its eScooter Series 4 Select and Series 5 Select, alongside the Predator ES Storm and Predator ES Thunder—all boasting 400 W to 500 W motors for urban commutes. The star, however, was the Predator eRanger, a rugged fat-tire e-bike built for off-road adventures. These releases signal Acer’s aggressive pivot into smart mobility, a sector ripe for tech integration.
“E-mobility isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about data, efficiency, and ecosystem synergy,” said a product manager during the keynote.
The broader strategy is clear: Acer Gadget is betting on interconnected living. Health data from the FreeSense Ring syncs with mobility apps; the TransBuds could one day integrate with e-scooter navigation. It’s a vision where your ring knows your stress levels, your earbuds translate street signs, and your e-bike adjusts its assist mode accordingly. Whether consumers are ready for this level of integration remains to be seen—but Acer isn’t waiting to find out.
