The MonkeyLectric light provides great visibility at any speed, and it creates full color patterns on your spinning bike wheel at 10 to 30 mph (15 to 50 km/h). The digital effects are instantly customizable - with on-board buttons you can choose the colors, patterns and mood to fit any situation. The light is perfect for daily commuters, urban cyclists, anyone that rides in the evening or at night and wants to be visible
Notes
- Weather use: the device is designed for all-weather use, being completely waterproof except for the
battery holder and batteries themselves. These will operate in heavy rain, however they will corrode if
left wet for long periods. Like the rest of your bike, storing in the rain will cause premature corrosion.
- Cleaning: use soap and/or spray water as needed, then dry.
- Vibration: If you hear vibration when riding, check that the rubber spacers are between the m133s and
the spokes, and that no other spokes are touching the m133s. Check that all 3 zip-ties are tight. The 4th
rubber spacer can be used to double the mount height at one of the 3 mount locations by stacking it.
- Hardware Hacking & DIY: it will void your warranty, but we’ll help. We’re putting the m133s
electrical schematic on our website so you know where to get started.

Safety
Bike Safe! We want your biking experience to be as safe and fun as possible. Please note the following:
- The m133s does not replace the need for standard front and rear bike lighting.
- As with any device attached to a bike, the m133s may affect the handling of your bike.
- Familiarize yourself with the handling of your bike after installing the m133s.
- The m133s is not designed for use above 30mph (50km/h) – the batteries or unit itself may
become dangerous projectiles if they break free at high speeds.
- The m133s is not designed structurally for use on a motorized vehicle.
- The m133s may be distracting to you or others while in use. Every riding location and situation
is different, only you can judge your own safety.
- Do not use on racing bike wheels with flat spokes, the flat spokes can cut the zip-tie.
