Spanninga has launched its new Base, Beat, and Pulse rear-light collection, designed to integrate directly into city, cargo, and speed e-bikes. The lights meet German StVZO and French Code de la Route safety standards, featuring options like LED-matrix displays and braking visibility alerts.
Why it matters
By simplifying the range of lighting components, these designs allow e-bike manufacturers to streamline production while improving aesthetic integration. This transition moves lighting from an aftermarket accessory to a structural design element, potentially improving visibility and durability for owners.
The new collection utilizes 95% recycled plastic housing and offers two standard bolt distances of 50mm and 80mm. These lights are built to accommodate various e-bike configurations, including city, trekking, cargo, and speed models.
