The perfect safety accessory for bikers that doesn’t take up space

Help Flash, the emergency light for motorcycles

According to the British Government, the only safety gear motorcyclists are required to wear in the UK is a helmet. However, to ensure motorcyclists’ safety and reduce road accidents in this type of vehicle, it’s important to take additional measures.

A key element that’s especially important if you want to improve your road safety is an emergency light. A motorcycle stopped on the road, be it due to a breakdown or an incident, is a danger to other vehicles as it can cause a collision if not properly signalled.

Due to their large size, warning triangles are not an option for vehicles without a passenger compartment. But travelling without any kind of warning device is incredibly dangerous.

Light signalling plays a decisive role in the number of accidents on intercity roads Furthermore, according to official figures, 70% of accidents occur at twilight or at night and 90% of them are recorded on roads without sufficient lighting. This data demonstrates the need for hazard-signalling light devices such as Help Flash: a compact, automatic, autonomous option, approved and authorised by traffic authorities.

Advantages of carrying a Help Flash in your motorcycle:

• • Automatic magnetic activation: Easy and straightforward to use as all you have to do is secure it to a metal surface on your motorcycle (the rear part, tank, mirror bar, seat or even the road guardrail) and it will begin to emit a flashing yellow signal. You can also activate it manually.
  • Maximum visibility: Its parabolic reflector with LED technology allows your motorcycle to be visible from all directions and 1 km away, even in low light conditions.
  • Light, small and easy to store: Small, handy device, making it ideal for motorcycles.
  • Also works as a torch: It can be attached to the sheet metal of your motorcycle or placed on a flat surface so that you can perform any task with your hands free.
  • Autonomous and wireless: Given that nearly 40% of roadside breakdowns are electrical, wired emergency lights and devices are useless. Help Flash works with a commercial non-rechargeable 9V alkaline battery type 6LR61, which provides 2.5 hours of autonomy in emergency mode and 5 hours as a torch. In addition, this type of battery, which doesn’t suffer from sulphation, means the device can be stored for up to 4 years and conserve more than 80% of its capacity.
  • Works in all types of weather conditions: rain, snow, wind and fog.
