The Electric Version Of The Humble Bike Bell

Some would argue the point of riding a bike is simplicity. It’s just you, some gears, a couple of wheels, a chain, and a seat. But there are some who like bikes because they present another opportunity for gadgets.

Introducing the electric bike bell. In case you’ve gotten tired of a normal bell or just hollering at slow pedestrians to get out of your way.

Mount it on your handlebars and with a push of a button, it can warn others to step aside.

There are four different ringtones and each can alarm at three volume levels. The loudest rings tops out at 110 dB which is comparable to a power saw at three feet. Also, they’re waterproof which is a good feature to have in a bike accessory.

This shiny accessory can cost you $24. Or you could just buy a cheap bell for $3.
