cycling is great for your health your budget and your planet maybe you bike as much as possible or maybe you've been meaning to get into it but the reality on the street often makes your ride challenging we wanted to give riders total confidence on the road by making them visible from every direction that's why we designed monkey lights we've been making monkey lights since 2007 our lights are known for being incredibly bright durable and fun in 2013 we kick-started the first video bike wheel the monkey light Pro since then we've talked to thousands of monkey light users around the world they keep telling us just how confident they feel when they ride monkey lights were originally designed to be fun and visible now we're ready to take the next step with sleek new designs that are ridiculously easy to use with our third generation of monkey lights you just ride your bike and they work their magic all the lights feature our new fully automatic technology they reliably turn on when you need them and they securely lock into your spokes this way you won't lose your lights and you'll never forget to turn them on these third-generation lights also feature our new hub mounted rechargeable battery the battery lasts for months of normal usage and it pops out easily to charge from any USB port our lights are great for every kind of bike in any type of rider and now we're able to make them more affordable than ever so why monkey lights well take a look at this this is how a bike looks with traditional front and rear lights now look at it with monkey lights all of our monkey lights are clearly visible from every direction by illuminating the wheels the moving light greatly increases visibility even on a crowded street the speed and direction of the rider can be seen as well monkey lights light up the road and make every ride more safe and more fun hi I'm Paul Gallagher the inventor Beck shifter the patent-pending universal wireless gear shifting system this is how we've been shifting gears on bikes for decades and this is the ex shifter Wireless shifting is smart shifting it's fast and it's precise so why do you need smart shifting that's the sound of the chain rubbing it's annoying and it wears out your drivetrain it's a sound that drives every cyclist crazy next shift your smart phone to eliminate that by automatically synchronizing your front and your rear derailleurs recreational professional riders can all benefit from smart shifting let's check it out Multi shift press and hold and jump two or three gears hold a bit longer and you shift the entire range you can configure the press time to your liking intuitive and fast with the semi-auto function you only need to press up and down and the ex shifter will automatically shift your front and rear derailleurs to the optimum gear ratio think of it as the automatic transmission and a car take your mind off shifting so you can enjoy your ride manual mode the remote has four configurable buttons each button can be assigned a function for example if you are left-handed you can easily invert the standard settings for a one by system you could have the right side on manual shift and left side for a dropper post Hector is universal it connects to your existing derailleur it fits any bike any frame any brand of derailleurs and it works with a precision of plus or minus ten microns hex shifter can be used on road bikes mountain bikes tandems recumbents hand cycles and even dropper poles anyone can enjoy the advantages of ex shifter I used to love biking as a kid but as a kid you have lots of energy you're eating a lot of sugar as you get older people tend to ride their bikes less and less often one of the reasons being that they have to go to work they have to do things where they don't want to be arriving to their destination sweaty with electric bikes you not only have the advantage of being able to arrive to your destination in a more composed manner but you're also able to extend the range of where you want to travel so instead of maybe having to take your vehicle somewhere now you can easily take your electric bike there my name is Oscar stark I'm an engineer and I've been working with in the renewable energy field for the last several years once the inception of electric bikes came around I got really interested in having electric bike myself one of the things that was holding me back from owning one was the fact that they were so expensive so I started investigating why do they cost thousands of dollars and we actually couldn't find anything that made electric bikes really expensive except for the battery packs that were available at the time this is why we came upon to build an electric bike for the masses that was affordable and with my team we were able to find a factory that was willing to produce these electric bikes for us at a price that was almost unbelievable one of the things that I've noticed in the electric bike market is these bikes look really electric they have these big ugly batteries attached to them we wanted to make it look like a normal bicycle plus we wanted to have an electric bike where you are able to secure it in such a way that it would be impossible for someone to steal your electric like what we've done here with the electric bike is you have your options you can either go with the throttle meaning that you don't have to pedal whatsoever and you can get to your destination without having to worry about being sweaty or being warm but if you're looking to exercise you can adjust the assist mode that comes with the bicycle so the lowest one providing you very little assist that you can still get a bit of a workout and would be highest one you're almost making no effort as long as you're pedaling another thing that we discovered is by the time that you do get an electric bike to your door that electric bike has actually gone through several different middlemen so something that you know might have costs twenty or thirty dollars for example ends up costing you 200 or 300 dollars when it gets to your door our goal with this campaign is to really launch electric bikes into the mainstream so that anyone that was interested in getting electric bike really the cost should no longer be a factor for them it's the same thing with the cell phone revolution anyone with a flip phone nowadays they would have that more as a retro fashion accessory everyone else has a smartphone and if you don't have a smartphone the question is why this is the same kind of thing that we're looking to achieve with our Stark Drive electric bikes everyone should have an electric bike and if you don't have an electric bike that's fine you want to be retro and you want to live in the past that's really cool but ultimately you're probably going to have that retro bike for the weekends and then when you're out going to work you're going to be using an electric bike hi I'm Daniel at scowl ski let me introduce you a skunk lock we all know that gut-wrenching feeling of coming back and your bike's gone that won't happen with a skunk lock skunk lock is a bicycle lock that was designed with a built-in deterrent it can actually stop a thief from stealing your bike lock manufacturers won't tell you the fact that any you lock can be compromised with the right tools the truth is any lock can be cut in

into the lock but first if the lock is compromised skunk lock is manufactured with the highest quality materials we can find we've extensively tested our prototypes for your safety and convenience it doesn't look like any other you lock on the market and unlike any other you lock a thief will get a noxious surprise if they try to steal your bike when it comes to the challenge of delivering a skunk
