Traditional bike lights often get forgotten on the bike frame, leaving them vulnerable to theft. The Edge will stay with you, so you’re always prepared and visible.

Endless Possibilities

Any season of the year — it can be worn in countless ways.

The Edge is designed to look good even when the lights are off—a design philosophy we believe is crucial for any wearable product. Here it is in action on the streets of Toronto:

Pair leather with leather seamlessly

How it works

It snaps to the edge of your garment using strong neodymium magnets.

Lights!

The Edge doesn’t have a typical flashing pattern of ON–OFF–ON–OFF. We have experimented with different fades and shimmers, and use a unique light pattern when in flashing mode (as seen in the video). If you're interested in learning more about the brightness of these LEDs - see details in the FAQs section (How bright are the lights?).

Playing with Light Patterns! If you like to tinker, the Vega Edge is Arduino-based and can be reprogrammed with whatever flashing pattern or behaviour you'd like. When the Edge ships we’ll include a link to our Hacking the Edge guide which includes hardware instructions and the open source code.

Options

We’re offering the Vega Edge in two featured shapes: Trapezoid and True. Both are available in either black or brown leather.

Each shape can be paired with your choice of light colour: White, Red, Green or Blue.

Special-Edition Edges

For the first production run we’ve standardized the two (above) leather shapes as our core, featured designs. In the future we hope to experiment with a variety of shapes leather colours, and faux-leather (vegan) options. If you want an edgier Edge and are willing to spend a little more, we're offering a limited exclusive run of the following special designs:

Vegetarian Edition

We've sourced a special material from Paper No.9 in Brooklyn, New York City as an animal-free option of the Edge. To start, we're doing a very small run of just 20 Veg Edges. But it’s more than just a leather alternative:

“Free of plastics and complex polymers, our innovative textile is natural, non-toxic, and features a texture and appearance unlike any other fabric on the market.” - Paper No.9

The Veg-Vega Edge material

How It's Made

The Vega Edge combines a custom circuit board with a laser-cut leather enclosure. The LEDs are diffused by a retroreflective ripstop material. Custom neodymium magnets are inset in the leather using a strong adhesive.

Where the money goes

The funding from this Kickstarter campaign goes towards our first production run with a minimum quantity of 500 units. Costs include finalizing the design and electronics, materials, fabrication fees and staffing to ensure the production goes smoothly. Any additional funds will contribute to further research and development so we can bring the Vega Edge to market more widely.
