Lower Price = Less Visibility
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This couldn't be more true when it comes to buying lights for your electric skateboard. Cheap lights are better than no lights at all, but if you're looking to ride safely at night then it's definitely worth investing in brighter lights to see the road ahead and be seen by cars and other pedestrians.
Headlights Comparison
You can never be sure of road conditions. Headlights for your electric skateboard help you see oncoming terrain so you can react quickly and avoid accidents.
20 mph = 29.3 Feet Per Second
Rear Lights Comparison
Rear lights for your electric skateboard are a must-have to let drivers know you are there and give you the confidence you need to enjoy night rides to the fullest. Longer trails of light increase your visibility from the sides and maximize your chances of being seen at busy intersections.
