BLINK Offers LED Turn Signal Equipped Saddles

The latest product aimed at increasing safety for the urban cyclist, is BLINK’s turn signal equipped LED bike saddle. 

According to BLINK, both the turn signals and the LED’s are activated using their wireless B-LINKED remote which easily fastens to any style of handlebars, while providing 270 degrees of visibility to oncoming traffic from behind. 

In addition, the BLINK saddle also features the company’s Smart Brake System, wherein the system recognizes when the rider is slowing down and sends out a flashing beam to notify traffic from behind.

Furthermore, the BLINK saddle is fully weatherproof, and charging is easily handled via any USB port.

The BLINK saddle is being offered in 7 different models across three categories, which differentiate themselves based on materials and riding style. 

• e-series (with the models eko & evo) with stainless steel rails and G-fab cover
• se-series (with the models ego se & evo se)  with special red stainless steel rails and S-fab cover
• x-series (with the models evox & neox) with Chromoly rails that reduces the weight of the saddle and S-fab cover

BLINK is currently undertaking a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter, with the goal of raising $45,000 in order to get the saddle into full production, while offering early backers a 50% discount with prices starting at 75€.
