The pods charge over USB-C with a cable provided, from a 5 V adapter, a computer USB port or a power bank, and they lift out of the pedal to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the lights turn on and off by themselves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing advertises “intelligent start and stop.” In the supplier’s video (Chinese captions, our translation) the lights come on with vibration and go off when the pedal is still. Each pod also has a switch that steps through the seven modes and turns the light off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they fit my bike?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing gives a 14 mm spindle but no thread standard. Most pedals use a 9\/16 inch × 20 tpi thread (about 14.3 mm) and pedals for one-piece cranks use 1\/2 inch, per \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheldonbrown.com\/pedals.html\" style=\"color:#155ab6;\"\u003eSheldon Brown\u003c\/a\u003e. Not sure what yours take? Call 1-866-938-7580 before you order. On standard cranks the left pedal has a reverse thread, so match L and R to their sides and stop if one binds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo water-resistance rating is published. The supplier describes sealed bearings that keep dust out, and its video captions a wet pedal, in our translation, “resists everyday water drops.” Treat them as rain-tolerant at most, and keep them out of standing water and away from pressure washers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy are they?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing says about 480 g for the pair in one place and 200 g in another, with no unit on the second. The two disagree and we have not weighed a pair, so we are not choosing between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if a light pod stops working?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA factory-defective pair is handled under the Dead-on-Arrival section of our \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/refund-policy\" style=\"color:#155ab6;\"\u003erefund policy\u003c\/a\u003e. We have not confirmed a manufacturer warranty term or whether replacement pods are sold separately, so we state neither.

Some light-up pedals sold in Canada publish a run time in their listings, and this one publishes none. If you want that number on paper before you buy, choose one that gives it. If you want a moving coloured light low on the bike and accept the unknowns above, these do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood JM, Tyrrell RA, Marszalek R, Lacherez P, Carberry T, Chu BS.
