Kickstarter: brake safety light
« on: May 31, 2013, 09:43:43 AM »
Neat idea as it uses accelerometers to determine how fast you are slowing and it uses different amounts of LED's and different flash rates to warn drivers behind you. Doesn't matter if you are using engine braking, downshifting or actually using the brakes, they all trigger it:

It doesn’t have the funding it needs yet, so pass it on to other riders and give it a chance.

This is the first thing I have actually donated to on Kickstarter as I really think it is a good idea.

I did a search on volo and nothing came up...  And that is not specific to the C14 so that's why I posted in the open forum.

Oh well. Still a good idea!

Thanks.

If it can't be fixed with a hammer you can sure as hell teach it a lesson.
