If a bicycle is your main form of transport, you should consider a dynamo to power your lighting system.
Dynamos use the turning of your wheels to generate electricity, which can be then used to power your lights (or mobile phone, if you wish to get ambitious). Many people who used dynamos from a few years ago remember the feeling of turning them on, and suddenly feeling like they are riding up a steep hill. Good modern dynamos are nothing like that, and you won’t even notice that they are on. Combine the efficient dynamo with a modern LED light and you get unbelievable light output with negligible resistance.
We stock both the excellent value Shimano hubs (the 3N80 is brilliant), and the top shelf Schmidts (the SON Delux is THE dynamo hub). All will give you many years service, and mean less acid batteries end up in landfill.
The virtues of these dynamos are too numerous to mention, so drop in for a chat on how you can go battery free.

Schmidt Dynohub
One more thing – Because these dynamos are part of the hub, it will require you to replace or rebuild your whole front wheel. A complete wheelbuild will cost around $300 with the Shimano hub dynamo.
