Safer for cyclists and motorists. Pedalite Pedals are the unique battery-free pedal lights that have been designed to make cyclists more visible to motorists, day and night, from a distance of 1mile away and from any angle, including the side. As soon as you start pedaling the Pedalites uniquely harvest and store a small amount of energy so the lights continue to flash when the cyclist is freewheeling or has stopped at a road junction. 75% of cycling accidents happen at, or near, a road junction [Source RoSPA 2005], where cycles need to be seen from the side. Pedalites help cyclists create their own virtual cycle lane as motorists naturally give cyclist with Pedalite Pedals more space through a wider berth and distance, increasing their safety.
How do Pedalite pedal lights work? The pedals are made of DuPont nylon (used by the aerospace industry) giving exceptional strength and durability. When the cyclist starts pedaling a small and unnoticeable amount of their kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy which is used to light small diode‘bulbs’ that flash at fraction-of-a-second intervals. The rest is stored in the capacitor to provide up to five minutes of flashing light when pedaling stops. Pedalite does not use batteries! Cycling performance, in terms of human energy required and cycling speed, is not affected by Pedalites. With no batteries required, recycled cardboard packaging and efforts to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible, being seen while cycling does not have to harm the environment.
Pedalites are suitable for all adult frame bikes and children’s bikes (aged nine and over). Great for teenagers cycling home from school, students and commuters and gives complete peace of mind that children and loved ones are as safe as possible. Pedalites are the ‘must have’ safety accessory for all bikes. Easy replacement of existing pedals.
