K01S Smart Brake-Sensing Bicycle Rear Light

Removable Battery Design for Easier Maintenance

Battery removal requires opening the light housing with appropriate tools and disconnecting the battery connector before removing the battery.
This design provides an additional maintenance option compared with a permanently sealed battery assembly.
Wholesale, OEM & Private Label Opportunities
The K01S gives bicycle brands an opportunity to introduce a higher-feature rear light without changing the exterior design of their standard K01R range.
Ridingoutdoor supports bicycle brands, distributors and importers with product sourcing, supplier coordination, customization and quality control.
For initial market testing, small orders of standard, non-customized products can be discussed without a fixed MOQ.
Logo and custom retail packaging projects generally require a higher order quantity, typically around 1,000 pieces, depending on the model and customization requirements.
