With many attempts at creating cycle-safe attire and even implementing minimalist light systems atop bicycles, the 'Vanmoof M2 Bike' finally puts it all together in a full-fledged ride with built in lights and rustproof exterior.
The bike was built in partnership with Phillips so that riders know their light system is durable and worthy on the roads. It uses a pedal-powered system and presents a 320-degree capacity for being seen by other drivers. The bike keeps lit when the rider stops pedaling for 1.5 minutes so that intersection hazards are avoided as well. This bike is a long-awaited product as I'm sure many cyclists both rigorous and commercial have been wanting a safe-cycle for late night rounds.
