As anybody who rides a bicycle with any regularity - and especially at night, or in winter - will tell you, visibility to other road users is absolutely key to your safety. You can never have enough lights, reflectors and hi-viz clothing. But no matter how good your front and rear lights may be, there’s still a massive unlit area on the sides of your bike, making navigating busy junctions and roundabouts a terrifying experience.
These awesome Monkey Lights will banish that terror for good, making it impossible for drivers to use the dreaded SMIDSY (Sorry Mate I Didn’t See You) as an excuse. Although the concept is simple they’re extremely well designed, work incredibly well and - most importantly - look really cool.
Consisting of a set of LED lights that attach to the spokes of your wheel (4 on the M204, 10 on the M210 and a magical 32 on the M32) and a USB charged battery pack that sits snugly on your hub opposite the lights to keep your wheel balanced and minimise rotating weight they will display bright and colourful patterns that you just can’t miss to either side, and actually throw a good amount of light to the front or rear too. The M204 model has a brightness of 40 lumens, the M210 80 lumens and the M232 an incredible 200 lumens!
As well as being super bright for the ultimate in visibility every model boasts a wide range of themes and colours, with the M232 boasting an amazing 64 colours and 42 different themes. The M232 also features awesome MonkeyFX technology which allows you to have animated dancing lights as you ride!
Whichever model you go for it will be fully waterproof for those miserable winter nights and feature a sturdy anti theft strap to make sure they don’t go missing when you leave your bike locked up. Each version also comes with a rechargeable USB battery pack which will last as long as 60 hours between charges on the 4 LED M204 model, with the M210 lasting up to 40 hours and the M232 up to 20 hours. So no need to worry about carrying a pile of spare batteries around with you, just plug in and charge at your convenience.
