Nightlites 900 Lumen look-alikes are available online and being sold on Trade Me but they are vastly inferior to the genuine article
The Nightlites we sell are the Real McCoy. They are cheap, but not nasty! The ones available online have the following disadvantages:
-
30 day warranty (if you believe the trader) ours carry 12 months
-
Poorly-sealed battery – the ends are just cardboard
-
Low quality Chinese cells in the batteries
-
Inferior battery pouch = no easy way tro secure to bike
-
Insecure cable connectors = not as water-resistant
-
Early-generation lamp = driver circuit prone to blowing (the heat sink is inadequate and makes overheating more likely)
-
Thinner internal wires between driver and LED = poorer performance
-
Lower “bin” LED = lower light output
-
No tabs on the mounting rings = harder to mount and remove
-
No grip on the head unit = prone to moving while in use esp. off-road
-
No purpose-made helmet mount included
-
The charger is not an approved unit – if it causes a fire, your insurance could be jeopardised
-
It's up to you to decide whether you think you'll be able to get spares in a few months, let alone a couple of years, time

Crank It Cycles is proud to announce our agency for the German brand Bergamont Bicycles. Bergamont is a strong brand in Europe, representing top quality and excellent value.
The bikes need little introduction in NZ, with Brendon Sharratt taking 2nd in the National Mt Bike Champs and the Karapoti Classic astride one.
Bergamont Threesome 8.9 all-mountain full suspension
To ease their introduction to the New Zealand market, Bergamont are making several demo bikes available, so if there's a model you'd really like to try before you buy, talk to us. We also have a medium sized Dolce Ltd, a full Ultegra road bike, available for demo and ask James about his SRAM Red Dolce MGN.
Bergamont model years work differently from most other brands. NZ gets the models about the same time as the European summer, so we will be seeing the 2010 models soon. In stock we have:
- 09 Enduro 9.9
- 09 Threesome 8.9
- 09 Contrail 9.9
- 09 Dolce Ltd
For more information see the Bergamont NZ website |

A huge acheivement by these young guys. They were a lot younger and up against stiff competition. As well as second in their grade by a small margin, they were 16th overall! We're proud to be associated with this keen group of guys who are under the guidance of Ross Castle. Ross is also involved in driving the TASC Force, a cycling initiative for intermediate-aged kids based in Ashhurst.
