This looks interesting - any user review ? (The reviews on the website are predictably glowing)

Interesting, but seems overly complex. Just turn signals and a steady light or flashing light with a 3 position thumb switch would be nice, though.

Seriously, is that a turn signal or is it just flashing or what is going on...heh

Heres a better turn signal taillight imo, https://www.amazon.com/VASTFIRE-Brightest-Mountain-Commuter-Flashing/dp/B07V2M29SN/

Lots of assumptions that vehicle drivers will see and read what the inventors have attempted to tell them correctly. If you are in enough traffic at night to need turn signals, I’m not sure the way the sequential action is really that clear. If they’d have gone with Mustang-like sequence it would be clearer.

I wear Lumos helmets, like the Matrix.

Really like that helmet. Didn't even know such a thing existed.

Lumos makes several models now, all with turn signals. Signaling is done via a wireless remote, mobile app, or Apple Watch.

I'm also getting the new Lumos helmet, whenever it gets shipped, but I found these handlebar lights from Pinhead Locks.

You just press on the buttons on the ends to turn them on. When you go to turn just tap the button with your little finger and it flashes yellow. It will eventually turn off the flash by itself or you just press the button again. They are rechargeable. Between these, the Lumos helmet and hand signals, you might stand a chance with cars or trucks behind you.

Ah yeah, Wing Lights...those are pretty legit, cept if you are using your bar ends for mirrors already

flashing light

Not sure how it applies to eBikes but on motor cycles flashers are illegal. What really gets attention are modulating headlights and they are regulated by the Feds.

Motorcycles use a flashing yellow light when they turn. That's what these do. As long as you're using the right hand light to turn right, it's just a signal. If you use the left hand light to turn right, then Darwin's principles will soon remove you from the human gene pool.

When my wife drove behind me a watched my eBike turn indicators were not discernible as to direction from 25m. I’m thinking a modulating light would be a worthwhile solution. My MC turn signals were 18” apart. Rear bicycle light are under 6”. I immediately saw a difference in how traffic responded to me when using modulating lights front and rear.

That's a good idea, though you must be very religious and have a lot of faith that your wife isn't going to knock you off for the insurance money. These wing lights certainly seem to be bright enough at night. Not sure about the daytime. My fallback is still hand signals and wild gesticulations.

The turnip has already been bled out.
