I'm buying three for my pedicab, I'll let everyone know how well the hold up when I get them in. Though I must say that it's too bad china doesn't come up with an affordable alternative to the multi color monkey electric wheel lights, those things are the seccs.

Just givre them another week or two and they will produce it!

I already see a problem with them. The battery contacts are spring loaded. With enough wheel speed they will compress and lose connection.

I had different ones and they would cut out at about 15mph. Mine had stacked batteries so this design should work to higher speeds. Probably won't be an issue on your Pedicab though.

I'd rather have the Lady Ada SpokePOV units, so I could program my OWN animated patterns into them. ;)
