The lights are built in, so the handlebars are irrelevant.



So? The lights are also integrated on a VanMoof, but they're integrated in the right place.

They used to put them in the right place on the Specialized Turbo but in the latest models they moved it up the the bar again, can't imagine why.


So complaining that they don’t have the right mount point for a light when one doesn’t need to be mounted shows that the product either isn’t a good fit for you, or that you are grasping at straws.

I think it is unlikely that a carefully designed bike like this missed something simple like that. Much more likely you are kissing something.


It’s a simple matter of geometry. The bar is too high for the light to effectively light the road.


Why wouldn't the lights be tilted down from the bars? I have external lights on my bike that are mounted ABOVE the handlebars, and don't seem to have any problem illuminating the road in front of me?


The light isn’t mounted on the bar.
