1- WARNINGS
Blinkers are designed to be a complement of hand signals, and NOT
a replacement. You need to continue using your hands to indicate a
change of direction when you cycle in the road. Even if Blinkers
provide additional visibility and predictability, we can’t ensure that
vehicles around you will see and understand your intentions.

provide additional visibility and predictability, we can’t ensure that
vehicles around you will see and understand your intentions.
The remote control on the handlebar shows the turn signal that is
activated. Make sure you look at it every time you use it to check
that is indicating to the right direction. Indicating to the wrong direc-
tion can be very dangerous and increase the risk of accident.
