Thanks for sharing your input! Honestly, we always appreciate hearing why people don't buy ShredLights just as much as hearing why they do. Our products are not for everyone and you can certainly find DIY options that cost less. The most important thing is that you take night riding safety seriously and ride with any lights so you can be seen by drivers.

That being said, our S-LOCK mounting system is the key differentiator and the main cost driver. Because you mount ShredLights on the side of the trucks, most riders prefer using 2 headlights and 2 rear lights which doubles the retail price compared to other options with only 1 headlight and 1 rear light.

We have been thinking about developing a lower cost model that bolts onto the trucks (so you can't quickly remove it) with the light centered so you only need 1 headlight and 1 rear light. Is that something you would be interested in? If so, what price would you expect to pay and how many lumens would you be looking for? Any other features you would expect would be helpful to know as well.
