As I see it, there are two basic types of lights. (In this application) 1. Lights for me to see with. 2. Lights for me to be seen with.

Karl, While I think this degree of lighting is going a bit overboard to make oneself noticed, if you stay at and restrict yourself to the end of the glide line I think the excessiveness of it would be acceptable. But if, as you state, others are behind you I would consider this type of behavior to be inconsiderate of others desires and additionally being at the end of the line would help ensure the safety and security of those who have chosen to ride/drive/glide in your company.

I do feel that it is among the best tail lights I have seen in the bike/segway market, and for this very reason, I frequently choose to be at the rear of the line so that it can serve to protect the entire column. While I shared that people have mentioned that it is annoying to have the rear light blinking in your eyes for any length of time, it is not done to be antisocial, it is done for safety. All that mentioned it have recognize it as such, and therefore there were no complaints. Still, I do mostly glide alone, and when I do it works for me. I appreciate the advice regarding lighting and positioning, but you must remember that what one may feel too much lighting another may not, and it is a personal choice. If you do not know where I glide, and how drivers react, it is difficult to tell what is overboard and what is not. The same could be said regarding the security of accessory designs. If it is not your design, and you are not the person concerned about its integrity, than others should not say you are being too concerned about someone stealing you design. I said others should not, but they did. So, thanks for the advice, it was good. Have a good glide and keep smiling.

I am sure that if you find the same product, it will ship to Europe as easily as the US.

Not only does it fit well and the magnet secures it quite firmly, the emblem cap can still be slipped back in place over it when the light is not in use. The top & bottom tang on the cap have nubs which slip into holes in the hub to firmly secure the cap in place, but this also prevents easy removal of the cap without removing the leansteer. So, I just turned the cap 1 tang clockwise so the nubs don't hit the holes, and yet the cap is still quite firmly in place and can be removed easily enough when the light is desired. I bought a "classic" Dot-it in silver with 3 LEDs: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...-itClassic.htm It doesn't really cast enough light to be a primary headlight, but it does make a nice accessory / marker / running / (fog?) light to compliment a main headlight up on top. There is also an "swivel" Dot-it which might work a bit better with a little adjustment: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...T-itSwivel.htm I'm also thinking that a more reflective surface inside the leansteer hub might help cast more light forward. |
