Lavod Handlebar MP3 Bike Speaker and Flashlight

If you thought the only essential you needed on your bike’s handlebars was a bell to scare the pants of pedestrians as you zoom through, think again.
The Lavod bike speaker and flashlight is a handlebar-mounted unit that does what it says on the tin- plays your tunes and helps you to find your way around at night.

We think the concept of mounting what is basically your own mini night club onto a set of handlebars is brilliant and will make a trip to the shops to get a pint of milk a much more happening experience.

The beauty of having a speaker on your bike is that you don’t have get get caught up in your headphone wires as you try to perform that impressive skidding maneuver that we all know really gets the girls.

It also frees up your ears so you can hear cars coming up behind you before they nudge you to the side of the road as they tear past.

To load your tunes onto the Lavod Speaker, just plug it into your PC or Mac USB port and drag and drop your music. It comes with 2GB memory which is enough even for the most genre-wide taste in music.

With a full charge, the Lavod will pump out Prince for 8-10 hours, which is perfect for the marathon rider.

Usability-wise, it’s quite an intuitive device. To skip tracks or change the volume, you just need to twist the control tube, just as you’d change gears on the bike itself.

There is also a quick release mechanism so there’s no fear of your speaker getting nicked along with your rear wheel.

All in all, this is a pretty nifty device for Summer activities and may be just the right incentive for you to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
