Pedalite LED pedal |
Safer for cyclists and pedestrians
Pedalite Pedals are the unique battery-free pedal lights for bicycles that have been designed to make cyclists more visible to motorists’ day and night, from a distance of up to 1km away and from any angle, including the side. As soon as you start pedalling, the Pedalite pedals 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], where cycles need to be seen from the side. Pedalite pedals help cyclists create their own virtual cycle lane as motorists naturally give cyclists with Pedalite pedals a wider berth and distance, increasing their safety.
- Flashes front, back & sides when pedaling starts for essential 360° visibility
- The only pedal that keeps flashing even when pedaling stops (up to 5 mins)
- Visible 1 km away
- Used by cyclists in over 22 countries
- Used by Emergency Services
- Very simple, standard fit on all standard adult & child bikes (9/16” crank thread)
- No batteries, no maintenance: fit & forget!
- Tough & durable with 1 year full warranty
- Non-slip surface and supergrip studs
- Compatible with Pedalite Toe clip
- Unique, patented technology to help you put safety first
How do Pedalite Pedal Lights Work?
The pedals are made of a DuPont polymer (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.
Cycling performance in terms of human energy required and cycling speed are 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.
