Staying safe on your bike means being seen, and the Arclight CITY LED Bike Pedals are engineered to make you undeniably visible. These innovative bike pedals amplify your natural motion, boosting your visibility to drivers by up to 57% compared to standard bike lights. Equipped with powerful LEDs and long-lasting rechargeable batteries, these pedals ensure you’ll stand out and remain safe, whether you’re riding day or night, on short commutes or extended journeys.
Be 57% More Visible with Lighted Bio-Motion Bike Pedals
Scientific research from Clemson University and other institutions has conclusively shown that incorporating lighted bio-motion – movement associated with the human body – dramatically increases bicycle visibility at night. In fact, it can make you up to 57% more visible compared to traditional front and rear bike lights. The Arclight CITY LED Bike Pedals capitalize on this principle, turning your pedaling motion into a powerful safety feature.

360° Illumination for Comprehensive Bike Pedal Visibility
The unique wraparound design of the Arclight LED modules ensures that these bike pedals provide illumination from every angle. This 360-degree visibility ensures you’re seen by drivers approaching from any direction at night, offering a significant boost to your safety on the road.
Smart Auto On/Off Bike Pedals for Effortless Safety
Forget about fumbling with switches in the dark. The Arclight CITY LED Bike Pedals feature intelligent auto on/off functionality. The integrated light modules automatically activate as soon as they sense you begin moving and conveniently turn off when you park your bike, ensuring your safety lights are always active when you need them without any effort.
Automatic Red/White Lights with SmartSet Sensors in Bike Pedals
Equipped with SmartSet sensors, these innovative bike pedals dynamically adjust the LED color based on their orientation. This intelligent feature ensures you always have a white light facing forward and a red light facing rearward, adhering to typical traffic safety standards and maximizing your visibility to others on the road.

Enjoy extended rides without constantly worrying about battery life. Arclight CITY LED Bike Pedals boast up to 36 hours of battery life on Eco Flash mode, minimizing the need for frequent charging. Furthermore, with three distinct light modes – Eco Flash, Flash, and Steady – you can easily customize the setting to perfectly balance visibility and battery conservation depending on your riding conditions and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arclight Bike Pedals
What style pedal (flat versus clipless and/or traction pins versus teeth) should I choose?
Arclight City Pedals – Opt for the Arclight City pedals for your daily commute or leisurely recreational rides on e-bikes, commuter bikes, or hybrid bikes. The aluminum teeth provide reliable all-weather grip while being gentler on shoe soles and clothing.
Arclight PRO Flat Pedals – Select the Arclight PRO Flat pedals for enhanced performance and MTB-style grip. The replaceable traction pins ensure your feet remain firmly planted even on challenging on or off-road terrains, making them ideal for mountain/MTB, gravel, commuter, e-bike, hybrid, recreation, or road bikes in any conditions.
Arclight PRO Clipless Pedals – Choose the SPD compatible Arclight PRO Clipless pedals if you prefer clip-in pedals and seek increased safety both on and off-road. Suitable for road, gravel, mountain/MTB, city, and commuter bikes.
How much grip do the pedals offer?
The Arclight PRO Flat pedals deliver exceptional grip thanks to MTB-style traction pins, keeping your feet secure even during rough rides. The Arclight City pedals feature integrated aluminum grip “teeth” around the pedal perimeter, providing excellent traction for all shoe types. While offering slightly less grip than pins, these aluminum teeth are less likely to damage shoes or injure shins and clothing.
Is a clipless/SPD compatible version available for these bike pedals?
Yes! The Arclight PRO Clipless pedals are available for riders who prefer clipless systems.
Are there usage limitations for Arclight bike pedals, and are they legal in Germany?
Arclight Pedals are legal in most countries, including the US. However, regulations can vary significantly by country and even within regions, depending on factors like bike type, road/trail type, and time of day. It’s recommended to check your local regulations to ensure compliance. Specifically regarding Germany, Arclight Pedals do not currently meet the StVZO regulations for public road use due to the flashing light mode.
Will the lights dislodge if I encounter a bump?
The magnetic attachment is designed to be highly secure. Extensive testing across diverse terrains has confirmed that the light modules remain firmly attached to the pedal or multi-mount, even when encountering bumps or rough surfaces.
