As a cyclist being
safe
on the road is key and the Pedalite pedal light gives you
360 degrees of visibility to
other motorists, day and night. Attached easily to your bicycle the
Pedalite 360 light is the cyclist light most comparable with vehicle
lights since it has a
white
light at the front and a
red light at the back
like cars do, and also offers visibility on the road from all angles
with an
amber
light at the side - all of which keep flashing when you're
stationery.
Pedal power: battery free operation
The Pedalite bicycle light
generates
energy as you pedal (harvesting energy from the rotation
of the pedal spindle),
so there's no need for clunky batteries that will eventually run out.
There's also no need to store replacements for this occurrence. Even
when you stop peddling the
Pedalite pedal light continues to shine from all angles
because it actively
reserves
power to keep flashing for up to five minutes when you
stop your bike at traffic lights or when you're freewheeling.
Standard fit for any bike
Easy to fit
to any standard bike the Pedalite 360 light has
multi-stud grips. It
works not only on adult bikes, but also
children's bicycles from age nine
upwards,
making sure they are seen by other drivers and stay safe. The Pedalite
pedal light replaces your old and dull bicycle pedal - simply remove
your old pedal and fit the new one. The Pedlite has a
non-slip surface,
which is durable and comes with a
one-year
warranty. The thread is 9/16 20TPI. This is the world
standard thread size for all cranks fitted to all bikes except bikes
designed for very small children.
Stay safe on the road
Once fitted, the 360 pedal light operates automatically as soon as you
begin to pedal your bike and can
be
seen by other road users up to 1km (more than half a mile) away.
The Pedalite 360 light makes you more visible on your bike from the
side, especially at road junctions where most cyclist accidents occur
with other road users because they simply haven't been spotted.

How do Pedalites work?
 |
The Pedalite works by converting mechanical energy into
electrical
energy from the movement of the pedal spindle. Pedalite pedal lights
multiply the spindle rotation using a gearbox and generator. Sufficient
energy is available to energise the LEDs immediately and charge a
storage capacitor. The capacitor provides residual energy enabling the
pedal to flash when the
cyclist freewheels or stops.
Even at a pedal speed of 40rpm energy is rapidly stored. A cyclist will
expend less than 0.5% (0.3W) of their propelling energy to energise a
pair of Pedalite pedal lights. |
