Monkeylectric Monkey Light Pro

The Monkey Light Pro creates stunning images and animations within a bicycle wheel. Once you’re rolling the display fills the bike wheel and is visible from both sides. The Monkey Light Pro is waterproof and durable, and is designed for use on city streets. Crank your bike to eleven.

The Monkey Light Pro is available now, only on Kickstarter. Earlier prototypes of the Monkey Light Pro were custom made for exhibits and developers only – you may have seen one at Maker Faire, Siggraph, Dragon’s Den, EuroBike, SXSW or at a museum.

Download images and animations to the Monkey Light Pro and display them while you ride. Use the web-based software to create a playlist with your own graphics, or choose from our collection of custom artwork. Then send your playlist to the Monkey Light Pro with Bluetooth wireless.

Application developers are welcome. Our software and API are available with an open-source license. Make a moving installation with a bicycle, or use our SM1 powered display stand for fixed installations.
