Pimp your bike

I just saw this article on the Dvice website.

Pimp your bike with MonkeyLectric LED wheels


This is so cool.  I used to have a little fan that did the same thing, I don't know where that fan is but they sell them at the store for like $3.  But, who cares about such a small fan when you can have this on your bicycle on both the front and the back wheels.


It has 16 led lights on each side and it straps right to the spokes on the inside of the wheel so it's not sticking out.  You can put 1 on your wheel or you can put 4 on your wheel or 1-4 on each wheel.  It's really cool for teenagers at night so they can woo their friends and also be very visible to cars so they don't get hit... from the side?  Cars can't really see this from the back.


I wonder if this is street legal though.  I can see it being bicycle trail and skate park legal but what about the street?


This product from MonkeyLectric is only $60 per board and it takes 3AA batteries which are good for 30 hours.
