The Vibe is a smart bike light that detects when one starts pedalling, helping a cyclist stay visible to passing traffic when it's dark out.
Proper lights can be a lifesaving accessory for the avid cyclist, but remembering to turn the lights on before mounting, and off upon reaching a destination, is a commonly forgotten occurrence. The Vibe addresses this issue, taking the guesswork out of biking precautions, while enabling the biker to focus on reaching their destination. The light is described as "effortless safety," using sensors to detect not only the motion of pedaling, but the current light conditions, adjusting its flashing patterns to suit the time of day.
Both small and durable, the Vibe can be slipped into one's pocket upon arrival, and charged using a USB port.
