(More customer reviews)My wife and I had taken up bike riding again, and because of her shoulder surgery, and her limited mobility, she found it difficult to perform hand signals. I researched Amazon and found a battery operated turn signal kit available through Bike World USA. The price ($8.99) was so inexpensive that I decided to order an additional kit for myself.
After the kits arrived (with no instructions), I began to try and mount one on my bike. I figured out how to open the kit up to insert the AA batteries. As I gently squeezed the two plastic "catches" that hold the kit together, one of them broke from its fitting. I tired to put the piece back in its place after installing the batteries, but it refused to stay.
I managed to close the kit anyway. I tried the turn signals on , they did not flash. I tried again, and they flashed in each direction. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming from the kit. I immediately took the kit apart and removed the batteries. I determined that this kit was not only cheaply made, but unsafe as well. I contacted the manufacturer of the El Gordo turn signals and they were no help at all. Then I called Bike World USA, and explained what happened, they empathized with me and took care of the problem.
So unfortunately, my wife and I cannot use these turn signals. So now, when we ride, I follow her and use my hand signals. Save your money and do what I do.
