Review on 🚲 BELL Night Trail Bike Light Kit by Keith Martin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not work well with rechargeable batteries.

We use Ni-MH batteries but the headlight doesn't work well with them. The batteries fit inside the case, but the top plastic cover has two tabs to secure the batteries; It is designed for disposable alkaline batteries. I had to shave the case to make room for the slightly larger batteries. The flashlight itself is pretty good though and seems to hold up pretty well to abuse. In my urban, well-lit area, there are enough LEDs to see and be seen, allowing me to get a lot of value out of a single charge. I turn off the light when I put the bike on the bus rack so it doesn't get lost, but the mount is pretty sturdy. Bell would like to replicate it for Ni-MH/Ni-CD batteries.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some little things
