velorian bicycle turn indicators


ride with more safety

Whether on the street or on the cycle path, it's getting more and more crowded. Cycling, not only in a big city like Berlin, makes special demands because you are rarely alone on the road. Seeing and being seen, especially in the dark, is more important than ever.

More and more cyclists are on the road with a cargo bike. The cycle paths are often very narrow. Overtaking and being overtaken is a constant process. Indicating a turn can avoid trouble. But with some cargo bikes you just don't want to let go of the handlebars. Especially if you bought the bike new. And accidents between cyclists and other cyclists are on the rise, according to statistics from insurers.

With the velorian e-bike Plug&Ride blinkerset with pre-assembled cable splitters and waterproof connectors on all components, installation is a breeze. We have sample configurations for individual models of cargo bikes, tricycles, and recumbent bikes in our shop. Here we show you which cable splitters are used.

For perfectionists, the velorian e-bike blinkerset is also available without a plug from velorian. Slimly adapted to the silhouette of the bicycle, with high-quality indicators and controls, compact cable routing through the frame, and flexible adaptation to various requirements.

Where can you buy the velorian e-bike blinkerset?
It can be ordered here in the online shop. A list of dealers currently registered with us can be found in the menu under Find a Dealer.
Is the e-bike blinkerset suitable for every e-bike?
The velorian e-bike blinkerset works with an input voltage of 6 - 60 volts direct current, and thus covers all e-bike battery systems on the market. Due to the low power consumption of the velorian e-bike blinkerset, the connection can be realised very easily on the headlight cable. The connection is therefore just as simple as that of a headlight. Under certain circumstances, however, the light must always be switched on. On newer Bosch drive systems, power can also be tapped at the 3rd party port if Bosch ABS is not installed. Such a connection is available on many e-bikes.
Can different turn signals be installed at the front and rear? What voltage must the turn signals be operated with?
Yes, that is not a problem. They have to be 12 volt indicators.
Can more than 4 turn signals be installed? For example for a trailer?
Yes, only the total power of all turn signals must not exceed 6 watts.
Can I also fit the e-bike indicator set to my e-scooter? And am I also allowed to do this in Germany?
Yes and yes, turn signals are generally permissible for e-scooters. Due to the design, the rules for installation are somewhat different from those for bicycles, see also Elektrokleinstfahrzeuge-Verordnung - eKFV § 5 Anforderungen an die Lichttechnischen Einrichtungen (4).
