How does the Biomotion lighting system improve safety on the TM-B?

The Biomotion lighting system on the ALSO TM-B is a safety feature designed to mimic the natural movement of the human body. By strategically illuminating the rider's legs, head, and arms, the system creates a visual pattern that allows drivers to recognize the rider as a human being instantly, rather than just a static light source. 

Human Recognition: Highlights the motion of major joints (knees and ankles) to trigger "biological motion" recognition in the brain.

Automotive Brightness: Delivers high-intensity front and rear output comparable to car headlights for maximum conspicuity.

• Headlight: 1500 Lumen
• Taillight: 250 Lumen + Turn Signals

Predictable Signaling: Features integrated turn signals to clearly communicate ride intentions to surrounding traffic. 

Did You Know? Biomotion (or Biological Motion) is a scientific concept describing the brain's ability to identify living things by their movement patterns. Research indicates that highlighting a cyclist's moving legs can improve driver recognition speeds by up to 5.5x compared to standard lighting.
