Kinda cool - check it out:

Love kickstarter projects. This looks like a unique offering that doesn't rely on your using your brakes to flash, instead using a accelerometer to flash when downshift or throttle off decel to warn inattentive drivers behind you.

figured i'd post and see what you guys thought.

Personally i got the XB lights w/ flasher. LOVE IT.

Not sure if i'm a fan of the frame design itself, but a neat concept. If it were more normal and square it would be more appealing to me. But i'm already all "flashy" when braking, so don't think i'd have two different flash rates by adding this.

More just FYI so you could check it out.

I backed it, but it is quite a bit short of its funding goal.

They are going to make a module also.. the benefit of the vololights is that it flashes when you are letting off gas before applying the brakes..
Im with you sl33py as i have a flasher module, but it only works when i apply the brakes.
