Pedalite Company

Pedalite International is a UK based company that designs, manufactures and distributes environmentally friendly safety products worldwide.  All of our products are unique and are successfully sold in over 40 countries by some of the very best distributors and retailers worldwide, in fact the Pedalite range of products are now the best selling environmentally friendly cycling, walking, hiking, equestrian, running and jogging safety accessories worldwide! 

Pedalite International specialises in highly efficient energy harvesting and energy reuse.  These specialisations have been utilised in a range of safety products for cyclists, horse riders, walkers and other outdoor pursuits that consider each of health, safety and the environment.  While the energy reuse technologies are similar across the range of products the efficient energy harvesting is different for different types of product.

The company's best selling products include the unique 360 degree visibility battery-free pedal lights, for cyclists, that harvest Kinetic energy and then stores it to efficiently re-use and keep the safety lights on even when cycling has stopped.  The Pedalite Baglite and Anklelite products harvest light energy, which is a form of solar energy and are used by cyclists, walkers, horse-riders, runners and many others. The range is complemented with a sub-range of organic (eco) lubricants, greasers and cleaners under the Green Oil brand.

 

Research

As part of a commitment to the markets in to which Pedalite sells its products, the company commissions and collates various research that is often published as part of its SHE (Safety, Health and the Environment) advocacy campaign.  Specific information regarding the highly efficient energy harvesting and energy re-use techniques utilised by Pedalite may be found in the document entitled "Energy harvesting and re-use"
