It’s reported that Taiwan there private companies have jointly developed an automatic-charging LED bicycle lamp. It’s disclosed that the high-tech LED bicycle lamp will be commercialized and launched in the market in February 2009.
Lee Shui-yuan, president of Acxing Industrial Co., Ltd., one of the joint developers, pointed out that the new LED bicycle lamp is the only multi-function LED illumination device available on the market that can function as a bicycle front lamp, rear warning light, brake lamp, or an emergency flashlight.
He noted that his company would try to cooperate with world-class bicycle makers in Taiwan, such as Giant and Merida, to effectively popularize the new innovation.
Acxing is the developer of the battery-free bicycle front light and its automatic charging system, which weighs only 100kg. According to Lee, the mini generator is located at a bicycle’s front fork and utilizes the friction between the wheel rim and a sensor to generate electricity power. The new-type power-generation system also features very low resistance force and easy-installation.
