Pedalite Anklelite
February
2010 - Hooked on Horses - "“I thought the Anklelite was light and comfortable to wear,
and I really liked the fact that it charged itself; so that I never had to worry whether it
had enough power whenever I rode.
The design is neat and compact, which was good as it didn’t interfere with my riding whether I wore it around
my arm or boot. I would definitely recommend this product as being ideal for horse riders out hacking, as it i
s also weatherproof.” – Abbey, Hooked on Horses.

Pedalite Solar Lights
February
2010 - Women's Adventure. - "Look, Ma, no batteries!
I’ve seen some solar panels on backpacks and other larger devices and wondered how long it would be before we saw the technology appear in cycling items. These little flashy lights from Pedalite are completely battery-free.
A couple of hours up on a sunny ledge will charge the solar-powered Anklelite up and it’s ready to be turned on in either a solid or a flashy mode. The lights aren’t the brightest LEDs I’ve seen in a bike light but they’re enough to get noticed."

Fitness Product of the Week
February
2010 - Homes Magazine. - "Pedalite is a non battery-dependent bicycle
pedal light. Flashing LEDs in each pedal provide
360 degree conspicuity as the LEDs flash white
to the front, red to the rear and amber to the
sides. The Pedalite works by converting
rotational energy to electrical energy and the
in-built capacitor stores energy so LEDs will
remain flashing for up to 5 minutes after you
stop cycling."

Pedalite Visibility Pedal Lights
January
2010 - Bikelist - " Pedalite's strapline is "Making Cycling Safer", and with the Pedal Lights, they definitely achieve this. These 360 degree light spilling pedals scream, "Give me space I'm on a biiiiike!" through the night. When using these fearsomely bright pedals, cars gave me more space than usual on my daily commute to work, which in winter takes place entirely under the cover of darkness."

Product Reviews: Baglite - a bright idea
December
2009 - Bike Radar - "You've probably seen
reflective rucksack covers – well, this is a rucksack lighting harness. Those three big ‘lights’ – two at the front, one at the rear – are solar panels.
The actual LED lights are two dots on the side of each panel: white ones at the front, red at the rear. Four hours of bright sunshine – or lots more electric lighting – provides enough juice for around seven hours of
flashing."

US Cycling Report: Pedalite 360 Degree Visibility Pedal Lights - A Commuters Best Friend?
November
2009 - Horizons - "Once on the bike, I actually
found the broad platform of the pedal to be a
comfortable base to ride on... On the
Pedalite, given the broad base, the pedal had a
comfortable feel well into the ride..... the pedal provided a good amount of visibility. I liked the fact that the pedal cast light to front, back and sides.
After about 30 minutes of cruising, I arrived safe and sound and felt that I was better visible due to the Pedalites. I was pleased with the overall
performance of the pedal ."

Review: Ankelite and Baglite
June
2009 - go4awalk.com - "It is definitely
something I'll be wearing whenever there's a
chance of my walking in poor light. Buying
Advice: A real no brainer this one - a very neat
and innovative way to reduce the risks
associated with walking in reduced daylight or
darkness. An accessory that should appeal to any
walker who is both safety conscious and
environmentally aware. No batteries and even the
packaging is re-cycled cardboard!"
