NiteRider Mini-USB Bike Light Gets You Out of your Saddle

The ubiquitous USB charging interface makes its way into the cycling arena. While gas prices have stabilized for now the importance of human powered travel and greener forms of transportation continues to rise. NiteRider is releasing a bike light perfect the modern commuter or college student which should prove to be a bit more practical than other bike lights we've seen. The MiNewt Mini-USB is a versatile LED light source.

Weighing in at only 175 grams for bikers concerned with shaving weight, you can mount it practically anywhere with the included mounting hardware. This peddler friendly light runs off an internal Li-Ion battery and has a 3 hour run-time with a respectable 110 Lumen output. Due to the relatively low power output of the USB port, it will take more than 4 hours to fully recharge so make sure you give yourself enough time to restore your power before you head out into the dark. No word on price yet but if it falls in line with other models it will be between $100-$200.
