Do you sometimes go out on your bike without decent lighting? Or you have no new batteries for your bike light? The Reelight CIO fixes that for you.

 

PROS

• It works when installed properly
• After installation no need for batteries or other things
• Waterproof
• It’s small, but bright
• Can’t be stolen
• Keeps flashing when your not riding

CONS

• Not easy to install
• If it’s not installed perfectly, it won’t work
• Doesn’t work on every bike
• Only for the left side of your wheel

 

VERDICT

The idea is simple: mount two lights to the bars of your bike and mount two magnets to your wheels. Every time the magnet passes the light (which also has a magnet built in), it will generate power. That way the light will start flashing after you drive for a while. However, if the magnet is not close enough (not correctly installed), it won’t work because it doesn’t generate enough power. If you’re a handy (wo)man, you’ll probably find this easy, but my hands were pretty dirty after 20 minutes of installing these things. The front light eventually worked, the back light didn’t.
