Mohard Bike Lights: Front & Rear USB rechargeable set for night riding
Product description
What it is and who it helps
Mohard Bike Lights is a front and rear bike lighting set designed for night riding, cycling and even camping. On the surface it blends a spot and flood beam design with two independent light controls, letting you switch between high, medium, low and several flash modes as needed. If you value straightforward, battery-powered flexibility without bulky gear, this set aims to cover that demand.
How it’s built and what to expect
The kit uses premium PC components and an IP65 waterproof rating, so it should cope with rain showers and damp conditions more reliably than a basic light. Each light has its own battery: 1100mAh for the front and 350mAh for the rear, with a claimed total recharge speed of 1.5–2.5 hours when charged together via the included dual-port USB cable. In practical terms, you’ll see over 4 hours of continuous light on high, and up to 20 hours on low—useful for extended rides or multi-day trips when spare power is scarce.
Design and installation notes
The lights are compact and light (about 2.2 x 1.3 inches and 0.12 lb per unit). They use elastic silicone straps with six openings, designed to fit a variety of posts, handlebars, risers, backpacks or even helmets. The fit is intended to be tool-free and quick to adjust, which is handy if you’re riding in changing conditions or sharing the gear between people.
Why it might suit you
If you’re after a versatile, two-light solution that can adapt from city rides to light off-road use, Mohard Lights offer a practical approach. The independent headlight and taillight controls allow tailored setups—bright for visibility on busy roads, or conservative for long evenings when you need battery life to stretch.
Limitations and caveats
On paper the battery capacity and recharge times look decent, but real-world performance can vary with beam intensity and run-time under load. The manual suggests charging before use rather than charging on the move, your experience may differ if you rely on power banks while riding. If you frequently encounter heavy rain or submersion, you may want to verify whether IP65 is sufficient for your environment or if you need a more rugged solution.
Who this is for
Perfect for urban cyclists who ride after dark, weekend campers who need a spare light, or anyone who wants a compact, dual-light setup that’s not overly complicated. It also serves as a compact emergency light during power outages or outdoor activities like dog walking or running after dusk.
What to check before buying
- Confirm you’re comfortable with a front and rear light that use two independent controls rather than a single combined unit.
- Consider how you’ll charge: dual-port USB makes charging both lights together straightforward, but plan for longer trips where you’ll need a backup power source.
- Think about mounting options and whether the six-position strap fits your post diameter and mounting style.
Practical use case
Imagine cycling along a quiet country lane at night. The front light’s spot and flood combination helps you both spot obstacles ahead and illuminate the sides for pedestrians or wildlife. If you pause to set up camp or slow down on a windy trail, you can switch to a longer-run low mode, keeping you visible without draining the battery too rapidly.
FAQ snapshot
- Can I charge while riding? It’s possible with a power bank, but the usual recommendation is to charge fully before use.
- What if a strap breaks? Replacement accessories are needed, so check compatibility with the included mounting system.
- Indicator issues? If the light shows green while flashing, it’s signalling that the battery is below 20% and needs recharging.
Should you buy it?
Is it worth it? A solid pick if you want a compact, two-light system with independent controls and a reasonable balance between brightness and run-time for regular night rides. It may not be the best option if you require ultra-rugged waterproofing beyond IP65 or if you need extreme run times on high output. Consider your typical riding conditions, how often you’ll recharge, and whether the dual-light setup matches your preferred mounting points.
