A selection of nontrivial bicycle lights with Kickstarter and more

    Recently, several luminous devices for bicycles appeared at once out of season on Kickstarter. On the other hand, prepare the sled in the summer, and the cart in the winter. Therefore, we decided to prepare a small selection of bicycle flashlights.


    Ordinary lights can be found in any sports store, and prices start at 100 rubles and can go up to 5 - 7 thousand. Take at least the Market . At the same time they look monotonous and boring. In this regard, we suggest looking at not the simplest solutions in this niche.

    Let's start with the subject

    NEO - a flashlight without batteries, the prototype of which is already on the shelf, according to the creators of the project.



    During this time, test samples participated in various tests, as a result of which the number of dramatic cases on the roads decreased by 35%, and 85% of respondents said they felt more secure.



    The energy that is sufficient for the lamp to light up is obtained due to the eddy currents that occur when the aluminum rim rotates.



    Another “brilliant” project is Mstick , a magic wand that can be used in a thousand different ways, and one of them is a taillight for a bicycle.



    It works under the control of applications where you can pick up individual animation and choose the desired color. It can be used at concerts, at a picnic, as a flash or a miniature version of color music.

    A small flashlight that didn’t achieve the required amount slightly, FAST “possessed intelligence”, increasing brightness in the dark, while among the functions there should have been “Anti-thief”, and if someone decided to saddle your horse while you went behind bread, you would immediately receive an alarm on your smartphone. TurnCycle



    intelligent diode flashlight was controlled remotely using a special bracelet, which was offered in the kit.



    The set included several programmed gestures that the sensor distinguished, and based on them, an information signal was displayed that indicated the future action of the cyclist.

    In our catalog you can find Fly6- Bicycle light with an HD camera. The diode flashlight writes 1280 x 720 video in AVI format, and the viewing angle of the device is 130 degrees.



    Currently, the official website is collecting pre-orders for Fly12 for $ 259.

    Spokenlights - a design option for wheels with diode patterns. In addition to the fact that the cyclist becomes more visible on the road, the bicycle itself looks very attractive as a whole work of art.



    Monocle is a bag-case paired with an application that turns the Iphone into a bike light. The unusually simple design was surprisingly attractive to users, after well-known media wrote about it, not for fun, or seriously. The campaign, however, did not save.



    Aqualight- A completely obvious project, since almost every cyclist has a bottle of water with him, so it was decided to mount diode safety lights in it.



    Phantom Frames is a project of frames for children's bicycles with a backlight, which did not reach one and a half thousand, but nevertheless launched, and now products can be bought in the official store .



    Velodroom is an intelligent flashlight that activates as soon as you start pedaling and goes out a minute after stopping.



    Another flashlight that acts as a bulletin board and indicates the speed at which the cyclist moves - VeloCityLight . Four levels of brightness automatically adjust to the level of natural light.



    Nori Lights is one of the ways to “decorate” with diode light elements. However, of course, not the only one. There are universal lining for the frame or individual parts for a bicycle from 4id - PowerWrapz .



    And to light the wheels - cute Mini Monkey Light .



    The same design option is BikeGlow .



    Despite the "vicious circle" of the wheel, this is where the real battle of proposals unfolds : Radlicht



    Revolights :



    etc.

    Clothing and equipment

    The most obvious solution is not to "build up" the bike parts, but to add something to the suit or equipment. Special clothes with reflective elements, pads or helmets with diode flashlights are represented in significant numbers. Trail LED looks brutal - a helmet for cyclists and motorcyclists.



    We will soon bring to Russia a smart helmet for cyclists LIVALL Bling , which is equipped with a microphone that suppresses wind noise, a 3-axis accelerometer, a Bluetooth speaker and bright LEDs at the top and back of the helmet. The LIVALL Bling Jet remote control will help you control your helmet and phone while driving, without being distracted from the road, and it is mounted on the steering wheel of a vehicle. Estimated RRC - approx. $ 200.



    Or another, also not the cheapest, back-lit bicycle helmet - Torch , which migrated from Kickstarter to the official website and costs £ 99.



    Luminous lining with different functionality from the simplest ones, such as 4id shoulder clips or such a waist or backpack - Veglo :



    Up to quite functional. I found the lock-tape interesting, which protects both the cyclist and the bicycle, which can now be left for a short time and go away, for water, for example. The Vivid .



    Well, in the finals - the most "hooligan" project Bikeballs . There are no comments.



    Have a good weekend!
