Revolights: The Bicycle Lights Of The Future

[manoman0]

too much blabla..not rating, not subbing.

[reptedjess]

These are freakin sweet! They need to hurry up and release them and get popular so someone on the web can show me how to make them myself! I'm sorry, but $220 is a rip off for these! I would maybe pay $75. I know I can get the materials for less then $20. There isn't that much to them

[unlokia]

This is NOT "amazing new technology", this is BASIC technology. These are LEDs, synchronised with the speed at which the wheels are rotating, to produce the effect of a stationary strip of light. Marketing bamboozlement in overdrive.

[unlokia]

@unlokia You can call it "persistence of vision; POV"

[RINGOFE]

u know what? i like it !

[SEspider]

Or you can go the cheaper route and do what I did. I extended my railings to cover both wheels more and added LED lights to them. I also placed a simple white laser inside a small headlight caseing and use it as a headlight. For the record, I placed a dimer for the laser for when I'm in the city. Works great and only cost me around $35 bucks. Little more if I didn't already have old railings from an older bike.

the cat eye and the flare 2 work just fine but thank you though.

[MrGoofyfooter]

If intended as signifier only a simple LED valve cap is sufficient. What happens if you stop at traffic lights? blink... blink....continues? BAD! visual over-stimulation=irritation=st­ress in traffic. the blinking has to stop when stopping = visual indicator. I recommend adressing this.

[Baynham3]

@MrGoofyfooter why would you stop at traffic lights on a pushbike???? the good point about em is you can ride them on pavements so you never really need to stop

[Metal4Life572]

@Baynham3 beg the differ..but all bicycles that use the roads still have to conform to the laws of the road..ie stopsigns,speedlimit,stop lights,you are even required to use handsignals when making turns or stopping/slowing down..etc..don't believe me,ask local law enforcement.

[Baynham3]

@Metal4Life572 yh but only middle aged people actually conform to the road laws on pushbikes, you see em with their bright helmets and shit bikes (usually all bought from halfords) riding along pretending their bikes are road vehicles when theyre obviously not. thats like riding a scooter or a skateboard, or pushing a pram in the road... jus cos it got wheels dont mean its a road vehicle. they got no engine, doesnt need tax or insurance or mot... its not a road vehicle, jus people being dumb.

[Metal4Life572]

@Baynham3 ..regardless,the law states then when operating ANY VEHICLE on a roadway it must abide by road laws...not that i ever did when riding a bike..but just so ya know a cop can stop you for not doing so.

[Baynham3]

@Metal4Life572 haha yh i kno, riding in london has taught me that but its always funny watching their faces after you ride away from them and jump a stair set :P

[Metal4Life572]

@Baynham3 lol..i can imagine.

[devildon333]

[packagewarren]

[danfromabove]

Tron my ride bitchez!!

[MYSKATEBOARDER101]

where do you get these????????

[daZzleV]

thumbs up if you didnt see what youve expected to see

[emhass]

That's amazing! Is there a way I can install these lights on my current wheels without getting a new bike?

[aminbucks]

Were can I get some for my track bike? Email ASAP ok al_amin22@yahoo.com

[Tommytank360]

@aminbucks Learn to google you moron, it's at the top of the list. 

[CixDeuce]

how much how much how much i want one some

[CixDeuce]

Great response. I tell all the people around me if for any reason someone should hit me with as many lights and the IICON vest that i wear, then it was on purpose. they can never say i didnt see him at all...

[mrpiehole]

what possibly could be annoying about these? when i'm in a car a flashing bright white light or red light on a bike is way more anoying and is near enough in your line of sight

[LokiDWolf]

Those that state that this is annoying haven't been through enough bad things and/or know people on the road a lot that have been in accidents. Drivers (cagers as we call them) are most can be deathly oblivious and you have to "wake" them all the time. Spare me the annoying thing. I'd rather them be annoyed by lights than me rear ended at a stop sign and annoyed while I'm laying up in a hospital!!!!

[RufisMusic]

its awesome... people witch drive bikes at night knows.

[Slapagato]

Hipster scum

[tonyk21463]

These aren't intended to light the road ahead of the cyclist they simply make the bike more visible to all around it. As a cyclist I don't give a shit if a motorist finds these annoying so long as he notices I'm there .

How can being more visible at night be stupid !

[according2ed]

@tonyk21463 could be stupid....if one is cycling through an unsafe neighbourhood.

[Kregermeister]

Tron.............

[therealkakkamakkara]

Sorry but this is just bling and annoying one at that (especially when not in motion; holy disco, batman!). You don't have to be annoying to be visible. The only ones that will use this are the hipsters. And them trying to be more visible has nothing to do with road safety.

[Alexabix]

@therealkakkamakkara Couldn't disagree with you more, as someone who cycles on the roads as well as driving a motorbike I know how important it is to be visible and I can see how this would be very practical.

You have to bare in mind some people can't drive for shit and do stupid things, even though most of us drive safely. When you're the little guy who's going to take the brunt of the damage, and definitely get hurt, it pays to take preventative measures.

[joskes123]

@therealkakkamakkara I agree and I don't have a car. Only ride bike, bike lights need to be practical not annoying to others!

[TheHuntersBounty]

Sorry, I beat them to the punch i used two Energizer forehead lamps that took like spider eye's took them out of the holders married them back to back placed them under the pedal rotor then used a switch from the Shack ran it to the handle bars switched the one facing back red one facing front white.

[eskimomotagua]

Those friction generators are called dynamo. I remembered they were popular

back in the 70's and 80's especial in rural areas of Guatemala, where there is

not much electricity and it help to iluminate the road. But yes they can slow

the bike and they stop functioning too.

[carefulcarpenter]

The idea is awesome-- although I'd have to mention that most of the AWESOME lighting products I've bought, never lasted even a year. Hope they make a quality product.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Very cool. I remember the old time friction generators that ran lights on my bike. It always made it a lot harder to pedal fast so I trashed the damned thing.
