A Bright Future Predicted for Skateboarders with SunRiser Skateboard Headlights and Tail-Lights

The SunRiser skateboard headlight and tail-light are no larger than the standard 1/4" thick riser pad currently being used on skateboards, but project a powerful light from 3 LED lamps, 2 replaceable cell batteries, and an on/off switch.Skateboarders have been finding out the hard way that most US cities require skateboards to meet the same lighting regulations as bicycles for night riding, a forward facing white light and rear facing red light.SunRisers easily install on any current skateboard. Simply unbolt the trucks (axle) from the deck (board), slide a headlight or tail-light in place, and rebolt. The polycarbonate case can withstand enormous impact and is unobtrusive to skateboarding tricks.SunRisers are available through the company website and local skateboard shops for $24.95 each, or a $49.95 set which includes a headlight, tail-light, and...

The COMBO-project is an advanced version of all of these systems, making it possible to extend at any time, depending on the needs and
requests.But compatibility remains necessary at all costs. Many trucks and buses are already provided with a transponder system. It is of crucial importance, that no more than one transponder in each vehicle is needed, to drive in or through other countries.This...
