In the UK 3 cyclists are killed and 90 are seriously injured per week. Designed to give cyclist a highly visible safety presence to all road users, including HGV and PSV vehicles. Many cyclist fatalities and injuries are caused by motorists not seeing the cyclist when they are on the blind side or at a junction.
We have seen a decline of fatalities with the introduction of in Bike Helmets, but the need to be seen more is still on the increase. With Hi-Tail it can be used the day and at night, give more visibility to Vehicle owners that there is a bike in proximity, for them to be aware of.
Hi-tail is designed to let all road users see the cyclist in all conditions using the Patented high visibility flashing safety wand extended behind and above the cyclist for extra protection.
The objective of fitting Hi-tail to a cycle is to reduce the common accidents with HGV and other road vehicles by making the cycle and rider visible above the sig line of other drivers.
