-- Arclight Bike Pedals: Stand Out, Ride Safe --
Staying visible is the best way to keep yourself safe on the bike. The Arclight pedals amplify your biological motion making you up to 57% more visible than standard bike lights. Powerful LEDs and long lasting rechargeable batteries ensure you will stand out and stay safe even on your longest ride.
Bio-Motion Enhanced Safety | 57% More Visible | Auto On/Off | Modular LEDs | Rugged & Waterproof
Fantastic concept, so much versatility... Only one thing that could make them even better, add a Bluetooth handlebar remote that can activate a turn signal mode!
Hi Jack - thanks for the great feedback
good point
Or, use your hands. The most simple way of indicating where you're going.
Four recommended improvements which may, or may not, already be in the works: 1) Regenerative re-charging through pedal motion, 2) Turn signal functionality through a handle bar remote, 3) A folding pedal option for folding bikes, 4) A brightness burst and strobe function when braking in order to further alert motorists.
Hi John - thanks so much for checking out the pedals and thanks for the great feedback. Really good stuff and as you suspected some of this is already in the works but it is great to hear what people think would make the pedals even better. Thanks
@@Redshiftsports please make this backward compatible as I just placed my order today for them and hoping they can be upgraded!
Beautiful Philadelphia scenery!!
Thanks Shawn - we had a really fun time filming in the city especially by the Schuylkill!
I need this. Keep coming up with me parts for our bikes. Soon I'll have a Redshift bike
Thanks for the support and the interest Michael! We'll keep you up to date with all our new products!
Better safe than sorry. Like this concept especially for all of us Night rider's!
Thanks for checking them out and for the great feedback! I can honestly say they look so much better in person as well :)
This is actually practical.
I think one version for the Shimano PD-M324 would sell really well. Very common SPD cleat-pedal. I would even pre-order those!
Hi Johnny - thanks so much for the feedback we are actually working on an adapter for clipless and hope to share it with everyone soon. As I mentioned in other reply, if you are interested you can signup for updates and add the cleats and pedals info you provide in your comment to the list we are collecting for compatibility: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - Thanks!
@RedShiftSports how about for the old school crew who prefer cages and pedals that accomodate them?
@@sirmixalot3332 great feedback and something for us to look at. Might be possible to make a version for cages and/or straps but will need to look at it further. Thanks!
Just got mine today they are insane! They are a must have
Appreciate all the support!
@@Redshiftsportsalready bought raceface Chester’s 😭
Brilliant! Us cyclists need to help drivers see us as early as possible. This light system will do just that and save lives and injuries. Remember to use them both day and night. Daytime visibility is enhanced significantly with lights.
Thanks so much for checking them out and we really hope these can make a difference for people!
Is there a sensor that will disable them in daylight if desired?
These are a cool invention!
Very cool for the commute
Sweet! Would love to review these
Hi Dan! We would love for you to check them out and we will touch base about that. All the best!
So cool! I want it
well I am interested. That was a very good intro video.
Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it - check out the pre-order if you are interested (link is in the description).
That's a very clever invention. I hope they succeed.
Hi David - thanks for checking out the pedals and appreciate the kind words. We were indeed successful and there are lots of people riding with them and they are available to purchase from our website: redshiftsports.com/products/arclight-pedals
This is amazing. Same goes for the new grips. Saw it on cade media. Definitely considering those for my ebike
so glad you like the pedals and the grips! And awesome that you saw it on Cade - those guys are awesome!
Safety first!
Safety third, nerd
Looking cool, but as a man from a certain country where stealing happens every day, it would be nice to have a locking feature for those lights in case the owner forgets to remove them when the bike is parked. Will look forward for the SPD version :)
Thank you for the feedback! This is something that we are looking into and we'll have updates on in the future. The magnetic attachment provides a secure attachment while riding, but also allows for easy removal for charging or when parking in a high risk area. There is not a secondary lock for the light modules, but the magnetic attachment means it takes less time to remove and re-attach the arclight modules than most rubber band or strap-mounted headlights and tail lights. As for SPD model, we are actually working on a solution for clipless and hope to share it with everyone soon. If you are interested, you can signup for more info here and let us know what specific cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp
Unnecessary crap on a simple design. Don't overcomplicate things just take them out when you leave your bike.
Great idea, wish they made them a little longer, like the MKS Grip Monarchs
Thanks for the feedback - appreciate it.
Awesome product
Thanks so much for the support Gianluca!!
Hope those modules can lock in place. Hassle for campus or commuter bikes to have to pull out. Also definitely need an SPD compatible version.
Hi Vincerunner - thanks for the feedback and definitely something we will take a look at. We obviously want the lights to be easy to remove but I totally hear you about locking them in place. And appreciate the vote for SPD - as I mentioned in other replies we are working on an adapter abd if you are interested you can signup for updates and let us know what cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - Thanks!
I hope they grip well.
Thanks for the interest, Paul. The aluminum grip "teeth" around the perimeter of the pedal provide excellent traction on all types of shoes! Compared to sharp pins, the aluminum teeth are less likely to damage shoe soles and are friendlier to your shins and clothing.
These are nice, I would be worried about someone stealing them. I wouldn’t leave them on the bike for long unattended.
We understand! But you can easily pull out the light modules and stick them in a pocket/bag when you're parked, which is also easy access to charge them inside. Plus they will auto turn off when the bike is parked as well.
Love the concept, any plan for future release with a quick release feature? Wanted for my foldable bike, many in my cycling group (brompton) will be interested if there is a quick release or removable option
Thanks for the interest! We don't have any set plans for a quick release version but we are certainly looking into this as an option. Thank you for the feedback and stay tuned for future updates!
I agree
This is pretty cool. My first thought, oh, these are in the pedals, people don't steel pedals, I'll probably be able to finally leave the bike with the lights on after locking it up to go to gym. Then I see how easy it is to take out the lights, and then disappointment hits me... Now one needs to take out 4 lights from their bike, instead of 2 (which is already a hassle).
As for visibility, seems great! Sadly, not very practical for daily use.
Anyway, a cool product, well done!
...and for sportive use it lacks cleat compatibility. But I think they will improve it further. They care about the feedback
Hi Povilas - thanks so much for the feedback and definitely know what you mean. We did make the lights easy to remove so that part would not be a hassle but it does mean you need to treat them the way you would other lights on the bike that are removeable. Its great feedback though and something we will definitely look at for future improvements.
@@johnnybow7045 Thanks Johnny - we definitely appreciate all the feedback and will try to incorporate as much as we can into the product!
As mentioned by others, make a SPD version. Both of my current bikes have SPD pedals and I'll probably put SPDs on my new ebike that I recently ordered.
Hi Ron - thanks for the feedback, we definitely hear you and we are actually working on an adapter for clipless and hope to share it with everyone soon. As I mentioned in other reply, if you are interested you can signup for updates and let us know what cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - Thanks!
The big question is Price?
Hi TL - great question. I just updated the description so everyone can see it - thanks!
Make an SPD version and I'll have them
Exactly what I thought!
Hi Lardarz - thanks so much for the feedback (seems like a lot of interest in this) and the good news is we are actually working on an adapter for clipless and hope to share it with everyone soon. As I mentioned in other replies, if you are interested you can signup for updates and let us know what cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - Thanks!
Do they have a fast flash setting? Because I did rear red light testing as a bike messenger in NYC at night and cars gave me very little space if any when I had steady on light setting vs fast flash. With steady on people think you are a stationary object where fast flash people know instantly you’re a bike and give you way way more room. Also fast flash presents a high sense of urgency and makes people look up from their phone or console out of their vision when not looking at the road.
Hi Isabella, yes, we have an Eco Flash setting on the lights that blink fairly rapidly. Hope that helps! In combination with the biomotion from your pedaling action, the lights should definitely stand out.
I Would be interested in purchasing if you had a version with little dynamos in the pedals with capacitors for coasting. That way the product wouldn’t need batteries or charging and could just start shining whenever you start peddling.
Hi Big Sky Cyclist - thanks so much for checking out the pedals and for the feedback. We have been working on a generator version but wanted to take advantage of the modular nature of removable light modules to create more of a system of lights. Appreciate the encouragement on the alternative version.
Agreed, these 4 plus a headlight and tail light is a LOT of USB devices to keep track of and lack of charge has been a hindrance to my nighttime rides in the past
Thanks for checking out the pedals as well Liam. We do include a charging hub that can easily and simply charge all the modules at once. But we do understand your point and appreciate the feedback.
I wonder about the longterm efficiency of the batteries.
Hi JO24 - thanks for the question. We are using a high quality custom lithium ion battery in the light modules. So, you can expect to get a similar number of full recharge cycles as you would get from a typical (high quality) lithium ion device - about 300-500 full cycles before you get any degradation that is noticeable. It is important to note that a full cycle is a full discharge + full recharge so you can expect a good bit more life and number of cycles under typical usage where you might not fully drain the lights before charging. And keep in mind that when the battery does start to degrade it will do so like your cell phone where it falls off overtime in terms of how much charge it has but it does not drop off a cliff. Depending on how you use the lights you can get some serious life - for example if you use the eco-flash mode you might only recharge once every month or month and a half. Thanks!
Awesome 👍
Is the pedal come with quick release function l? So that can fix into any foldie bike..
The Arclight Pedals don't currently have a quick-release function but this is something we are considering as others have mentioned it as well. Thank you for the feedback and stay tuned for future updates!
I am definitely ordering these on Saturday
Thank you so much for the support, Jesus!
Brilliant. SPD SL version please.
Thanks for the support, Matthew! We are actually working on a clipless version! It won't be too much longer before we make some announcements!
Are these pedals available to purchase in
Australia Melbourne
from a retail store.
If yes
are they available to purchase now or when will they be
And what will be the price in Australian $
Hi Afarez - you can buy the pedals right now in AUS dollars for local delivery (no import duties required) from our website: redshiftsports.com/products/arclight-pedals - if you have any issues email us at support@redshiftsports.com and we can help out with purchasing. Thanks!
Thanks for your reply to my question. It's greatly appreciated...I would consider buying from you directly..but I prefer a physical bricks and mortar retail outlet. Incase they didn't work. Then have to send back.
I just wanted to add
These a the best things I have seen in regards to bicycle safety lights ..
I was looking at bicycle pedals a few years ago. And the ones that exist are no where near as good more for children's bicycles very inadequate in every way
These are just superb 10/10
I can not fault these pedals
I would like them to be day visible from a distance so cars can see in advance
Hi Afarez - we completely understand and hope to have the Arclights available in more shops over the course of the year. I do have to mention though if purchased through our site we now have free return shipping in AUS in case anything does happen. Additionally, the Arclights are covered by a 1-year warranty and a 90-day free exchange/return window! Also, the Arclights are actually really visible during the daylight and we already have a lot of customers using them that way. Thanks for the kind words and all the support! Keep us in mind and we'd love to hear what you think of them if you do decide to grab a set!
Do these have a sensor that will disable them in daylight?
Great question! The modules don't have a sensor for the daylight because they are still actually quite visible during the day and we feel that you can still benefit from having them on while riding. But, each module has a power button if you like to keep them off during the middle of the day and then turn them on later. Thanks!
Very beautiful.
But unfortunately according to the StVO not allowed in Germany😌
Hi Sebastian, Thanks for the interest! You are correct that the pedals aren't SVTZO compliant due to having a flash function and replacing reflectors. Really glad you liked the product and stay tuned to future iterations where we will look at ways to meet all aspects of the German regulations.
Why did you omit the front light in the comparison shot? ;-)
HI Frans - we actually meant to include the front light but ended up not getting the footage that day of filming. We are hoping to do that part again at some point. Thanks
Any SPD options on the horizon?
Hi Andi - yes! We are working on an adapter for clipless. If you are interested you can signup for updates and let us know what cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - thanks!
@@Redshiftsports Does that mean I should back the Kickstarter and expect this adapter when the product ships? Will I be able to back for the modules without the pedals?
@@confidentmac We likely won't have the clipless adapter as part of the kickstarter but we will make sure when it is available to have a special launch price for it as well so you won't miss out. But you can get the Light Modules without the pedals during the kickstarter and they do come with a mount so you can use them in other places as well. Thanks!
How the heck does it know it’s being used as a headlight though? That pretty awesome.
Magic (well magnets but isn't that that same thing). We have hall effect sensors in the light modules that can detect the polarity of a magnet and we use that and the orientation (based on acceleration and some other inputs) to determine a color. So, you can setup the mounts to set the color by adjusting orientation and the magnet polarity (it can be switched by the users). And with the pedals, the magnets are set for left and right sides to ensure it does not matter what light module goes where it will always set color properly. Thanks for checking them out!
Can I still run my stripes through the pedals!? Does it work with many different kind of pedals!?
I ride a fixed gear bike and I want to use my stripes, or at least something to click into, what options are there!?
Hi - thanks so much for the feedback and definitely something we are thinking about. The current flat pedal does not have straps but it might be possible to easily integrate some. We are also working on a clipless adapter that might work well for you - stay tuned
@@Redshiftsports ok, please let me know as soon as possible. I like to order the whole shebang with the suspension stem, kitchen zink as well... Thanks from Sweden 🇸🇪🙂
@@SimplicityForGood The pedals will not be available to ship right away so if you are looking for those other products I would probably not wait since they are in stock now. But stay tuned to the Kickstarter and our social and we will announce anything new with the pedals and lights there first. Thanks!
@@Redshiftsports ok, I have sent you an email asking for some details before I purchase. Hope to get some advices :)
❤️
What about for clip on shoe pedals?
Hi Simon - thanks so much for the question. The current version is platform but we are actually working on an adapter for clipless and hope to share it with everyone soon. As I mentioned in other reply, if you are interested you can signup for updates and let us know what cleats and pedals you have so we can make sure it's compatible: www.redshiftsports.com/arc-cp - Thanks!
Is this using a USB-C cable?
Hi Steve - thanks for the question. The light modules have a built-in male USB-A so they can plug directly into a USB outlet. We also provide a charging hub so you can charge 4 at the same time and that has a standard USB-A male cable as well so you can use a USB power adapter.
Do they run during the day or dark only?
Hi Gray - they absolutely run during the day and they are very affective at increasing your ability to be seen by drivers and pedestrians. Lots of incidents happen during the day so running lights are really important. Thanks!
Whats the Kickstarter deal on these?
Hi DJ Blaze - thanks for checking this out. The kickstarter is complete and you can now buy the product directly on our website here: redshiftsports.com/products/arclight-pedals
Good for ebikes but can't be used in Singapore on ebike. Too bad for all the ebike user in Singapore.
