Really expensive, and I have 20 dollar lights from aliexpress that can do 400 lumens. Also a real negative is you need to have it close to the outlet to charge and cannot adjust where the light is pointing (sometimes you need it just a bit higher to see in the dark, but with 130 lumens you won't see that much anyways)
Not only that... Micro USB.. lol If commuters are taking their phones with them, they'll most likely be using USB-C with a power bank or something. In this day & age, it's unacceptable to still be implementing Micro USB for charging.
This would make sense at the 400 lumen level, which even that is really on the ragged edge. If they could stick a 500 or 600 lumen even better. The problem is if you just kept your bars and spent $130 on a lighting system it would probably start be in the trail grade area(1500 lumens+). It's not a bad idea, and I'm sure it's well constructed but 150lm is a joke. Hell I bought $15 lights off of Amazon which came with a duel LED 200lm front and a semi decent tail light kit. And testing with some ANSI rated flashlights I have, I would say the front 200lm light was a bit brighter, more like 250-300lm on a full charge and had a flash mode. Hell you could stick 8 of those lights on your handlebars for the price of this bar. What I would do is tell the manufacturer that 150lm isn't going to cut it. They will go out of business. At least 400lm, now your talking, the more the better. I would also have some flash modes so you could justify the purchase as a daytime running light. Also a you could fit a huge amount of battery in a whole bars worth of space. Just judging by my keychain flashlight which has a 150lm setting runtimes I'm guessing it probably has a 2600mAh battery, maybe an 18650 in there who knows. Even using the stVZO German standard, I'm sure you can put higher than 150lm on there. What? Are Audi's and BMW's running around in Germany with keychain flashlights duct taped to the front of their cars? Somehow I doubt it. As I understand it, the stVZO just stipulates you need to not dazzle oncoming traffic and have a very sharp cutoff. The beam pattern you've shown us is perfect, it doesn't matter if it's 150lm or 15000lm, the beam pattern is the most important. My crappy e-bike built in light which I never use, and is the cheapest of the cheap POS plastic light has around 400-500 lumens with even a sharper cutoff than this light. The shame is it seems very well built, and well designed but what I would do sweet, is contact the manufacturer and tell them to up the lumens(400 min) and the battery capacity for North American markets and add a flash function. This will maybe add $10 to the price of the bars if that with wholesale prices considering how cheap you can get electronic components. With higher lumens, a slightly larger battery and a flash function this would make a compelling option for people that either want a backup light or a daytime running light in a sleek, well designed package. There is no use building a Ferrari and sticking a 1992 Suzuki Swift 600cc 3 cylinder motor in it. No one would buy it, no matter how well it was built.

It would have been nice if you showed what the battery looked like.
Where can they be bought?
You can purchase the handlebar directly from LightSKIN's website (lightskin.co.kr/shop/item.php?it_id=1613998016).
150 lm? Hell my Amutorch E3S keychain flashlight does 700 on high and 3000 on turbo. Non starter.
Yes, the output is limited. I suspect the reason for that is the StVZO restrictions which really limits the brightness and beam of a light.
Not only that... Micro USB.. lol
