Knog. Bicycle Light Plus - black

According to VTS, the regulation for the technical requirements for road vehicles, every bicycle must have a white headlight and a white reflector at the front and a red reflector and a red reflector at the rear in order to be considered roadworthy. In addition, there are orange reflectors on the pedals and on each wheel to ensure visibility from the side. This may seem like a lot at first, but it is for your safety. Because bike lights are not just about seeing the road, but above all about being seen by other road users. Most wheels are manufactured and delivered with a hub dynamo. If this lighting system is missing, you cannot avoid retrofitting your bike in order to be safe in traffic.

Since most bikes are already equipped with a dynamo, this question only arises if you have to retrofit your bike with a lighting system. Dynamos, especially hub dynamos, are usually low-maintenance and easy to use. As an alternative, there are lights that run on batteries or rechargeable batteries. Their advantage is that they are easy to install and reasonably priced. On the other hand, you always have to make sure that there is enough power available while you are driving. If you want to retrofit your bike with a lighting system that is operated by a dynamo, you should again make sure that this has an integrated parking light. Because this is how you will also be perceived when you are at a traffic light and the dynamo is not being driven.
