Description
FireFly is a bike-based product, adding a lighting system integrated into the panel itself. This system has parking lights, flashing lights and break lights, like any other road vehicle. Furthermore, it incorporates a headlight in the panel that enables the cyclist to perfectly see the road. The bicycle has been developed for urban cyclists who use bikes as a means of transport in their daily commutes to work or to study. This does not exclude a possible system adaptation for other types of bicycles, such as mountain bikes or road bikes.Other information
