Those “powerful” headlights don’t appear to illuminate the road ahead at all.
225 lumens, what means a measly 112 lumens each?

The integrated GPS tracker is a plus, the signal lights too. For a head light, well I guess they are more like running lights made to be seen, not to see. You’d still need a proper headlight IMO.

The GPS guidance is pretty awesome if it works with common smartphone routing apps. The headlight feature looks like it would put a lot of light into the rider’s eyes, reducing their vision at night. That’s a pretty big downfall in my opinion. Cool concept, but needs more work.
