Lighting the Way

E-bikes are silent and fast. This combination can be risky in traffic as pedestrians often don't hear you coming. A loud horn and bright light are essential.

The All-in-One Solution

Instead of cluttering your handlebar with separate units, check out our Universal Light & Horn Combo. It runs directly off your main 36V battery, so you never have to worry about replacing AA batteries again.

Why It Matters

  • Visibility: Powerful LEDs cut through the darkness.
  • Convenience: Integrated Handlebar Switch puts control right at your thumb.
  • Safety: The electric horn is loud enough to alert cars and bikes in noisy Indian traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How bright should an electric cycle headlight be for night riding?

A minimum of 400 to 800 lumens is recommended to clearly illuminate potholes, speed breakers, and road hazards 20-30 meters ahead.

Does running the headlight drain the e-bike battery quickly?

No. Modern high-efficiency LED lights consume only 3 to 5 Watts, using less than 1% of total battery capacity during a 2-hour night ride.

How does an integrated horn-light combo connect to the bike?

It connects directly to the 36V controller light output port, controlled via a clean handlebar thumb switch.
