Signal clearly. Ride with confidence.
LaneSignal One is a concept for a practical rear bicycle light with brake-aware brightness and a small wireless turn-signal remote. It is designed for everyday commuters who want to be more visible without adding a complicated dashboard to their handlebars.

A small signal for busy streets
City riding asks cyclists to watch traffic, road surfaces and other people at once. A rear light helps others notice a bicycle, but a conventional light does not explain when the rider is slowing or turning. LaneSignal brings those cues together in one removable light and a thumb-sized remote.
How the concept works
- Mount it once. A silicone strap and slide-lock bracket attach the light to most standard seatposts; the remote sits near a brake lever.
- Signal by touch. A left or right press activates the matching amber indicator for a short, timed interval.
- Brake-aware light. A small accelerometer detects rapid deceleration and briefly increases rear-light intensity. The rider remains in control; this is not an automatic braking system.
Designed around everyday use
- Easy to find by touch: raised left and right buttons; a simple status light confirms a signal.
- Easy to recharge: USB-C charging and a replaceable silicone mount are intended to reduce disposable parts.
- Clear visual language: red rear illumination stays distinct from amber turn cues, with a lens designed for rear and off-axis visibility.
Prototype design targets
| Part | Design target |
|---|---|
| Rear light | USB-C rechargeable; steady and pulse modes |
| Turn remote | Wireless; tactile left/right buttons |
| Brake cue | Accelerometer-based deceleration detection |
| Weather | Rain-resistant enclosure is a goal; certification required |
| Target price | €49–€59 for a set, subject to testing and production costs |
Safety comes first
LaneSignal is an extra visibility aid, not a substitute for legally required lights, reflectors, hand signals, careful riding or local traffic rules. A working prototype would need weather, vibration, battery and visibility testing before it could be sold.
