Ride At Night With These 3 Powerful Headlights
Whether you commute or ride your ebike for pleasure there is a chance that you will ride at night; having good lights, especially a headlight is crucial. A front light for your ebike serves two major purposes: helping you see and helping others see you. By illuminating the road ahead, a powerful light will shine on obstacles—curbs, sticks, potholes, etc. Additionally, having a strong front light will make you visible to other ebikers and cars, making it an invaluable safety tool. With so many options available, we chose some of our favorite lights to make things easy.
Light & Motion Urban 500 Headlight
This light does it all. Thanks to a 500-lumen output, this headlight can light up even the darkest of nights. You can alternatively run it on a lower setting for six hours of run time. Thanks to an easy rubber handlebar mount, this light can be equipped or removed from your ebike in seconds, so it’ll be a cinch when you need to recharge with the included micro-USB cable.
Cygolite Metro Pro 1,100-Lumen Bike Light
This light puts out an impressive 1,100 lumens on its maximum setting. Not only is the light bright, it is designed to have an extra wide and long-range beam, increasing both your own vision and visibility. Nine different modes will cover any situation you need, from a steady beam to a pulse or a flash. A quick-release tab releases the light from the mount, which conveniently rests on the handlebar.
USB Rechargeable Bike Light Set
For the ebike rider looking for a value-oriented front light, this is an excellent choice at a great bargain. The 400-lumen headlight only takes two hours to reach a full charge and can run for eight hours on the highest setting. Charge conveniently thanks to a quick-release strap that stays mounted on your handlebars, and USB charge capabilities. To make this front light an even better value, a rear blinking light is included.
