5. LucidBrake - for bikers
$74.99
www.lucidbrake.com
Visible up to a ½ mile away, the LucidBrake smart ultra-bright LED brake light provides safer biking so cars, other bikers, and pedestrians can see you braking, slowing down, or stopping -- even at a distance. LucidBrake detects and shows motion with 8 LEDs that blink as you move and alert solid when you stop (just like a car’s brake lights), showing the difference between slowing down and abruptly stopping with 4 beacon modes (flashing, fast flashing, solid, off) and 2 braking indicators (sudden and normal). The smart brake light detects slow and stopping motion using all 3 axes of acceleration signals (right/ left, up/down, backwards/forwards), filtering out road bumps, grades, angles, and normal cycling movements.
LucidBrake can be used on bikes, boats, jet skis, skateboards, wheelchairs, scooters, helmets, and even backpacks.
