YOU CAN MOUNT IT ON VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BIKE WITH A LITTLE IMAGINATION AND ADDITIONAL MOUNTING BRACKET (NOT JUST THE SEAT POST). YOU CAN MOUNT IT ON THE FRAME OF CERTAIN BIKES LIKE ROAD BIKES/HYBRIDS LEAVING ROOM FOR BAGS, FENDERS, WATER BOTTLES, ETC ON THE SEAT POST. THE ONLY MINOR COMPLAINT FOR ME IS THE MOUNTING BRACKET NOT BEING QUICK RELEASE BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THAT FOR THE QUALITY OF LIGHT YOU GET PLUS THE LIGHT DOES COME OFF WITH A RELEASE SYSTEM LEAVING THE BRACKET IN PLACE. <br />IT IS VERY BRIGHT WITH 2 MODES - BLINKING AND ON. PEOPLE WILL SEE YOU UNLESS THEY ARE BLIND OR THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU - LOL. IT CAME WITH BATTERIES AND I'M STILL USING THE ONES IT CAME WITH AFTER MONTHS OF USE. <br />THIS LIGHT COST TWICE AS MUCH IN THE BIKE SHOPS. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS ITEM 5 STARS IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE MOUNTING BRACKET. MAYBE THE NEW VERSION WILL BE QUICK RELEASE. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD DEAL Rating: 4 / 5 FLAT OUT – THIS IS A GREAT LIGHT TO HAVE.

My problem is one day I looked down and it was gone – jumped the mount.

I was riding over a lot of rocks and I guess it popped out. That had me

really steamed. I also had a air pump that shook apart too.

All the mounting systems are very similar, but I cannot afford

to spend whatever it is for a light, nice as it is and have to take

it off all the time or buy a new one when it falls off.

Someone should come up with a flexible mounting standard,

all of the ones I have seen are terrible.

Mine didn't even work when i got it. a total dud. just buy the cheap little planet bike blinky lights. you can get two for about half as much. this one is truly a piece of crap. the video review of it is misleading. i have been more likely to be hit by a car with this light, due to trying to make it turn on while riding.

The item description clearly states the LED is red and it/they are, although states 2 and there are 3. The clear case begs to be used as a headlight but the LEDs flash red rather than white. This product could be greatly improved with white LEDs. Rating: 3 / 5 This sorta makes no sense. The item description clearly states the LED is red and it/they are, although states 2 and there are 3.
