Join the Revolights cycle revolution

Illuminating the road by putting lights far from the ground, on handlebars or helmets, seems mad – Revolights have cured that insanity while making cyclists more visible at night
Join the Revolights cycle revolution

You may have been awaiting news on the Revolights since we mentioned them when they were still just a Kickstarter project. That wait is over.

The ingenious Revolights come in two 12 LED rings that clip to your bicycle wheels and, using a magnet and accelerometer, throw a semi-circle arc of white and red light from the front and rear. The great thing is not only does that mean a well lit road ahead but also high visibility from the sides too.

The price tag is a rather painful US$250 (£155) and the rechargable battery, which mounts to the wheel hub, lasts just four hours. But can you put a price on clear roads and cycle safety? Maybe. But you certainly can’t on looking this unique and cool at night.
