In the ever-evolving world of e-bikes, safety and convenience are paramount. Recognising this, Busch+Müller has unveiled the TURNTEC T2, a cutting-edge, battery-powered indicator system designed to enhance rider visibility and control.
Seamless Integration for Enhanced Safety
The TURNTEC T2 system comprises two robust aluminium indicator units that integrate seamlessly into the ends of the handlebars. This design, reminiscent of motorcycle ‘bull’s eyes’, ensures that both hands remain firmly on the grips, allowing riders to signal turns with a simple hand movement without compromising control. This feature is particularly beneficial in dense traffic or low-light conditions, where clear communication with other road users is crucial. (bumm.de)
User-Friendly Operation
Activating the indicators is intuitive: a brief motion with the palm of the hand is sufficient to engage the turn signal. This design eliminates the need for traditional hand signals, reducing the risk of miscommunication and enhancing overall safety. Additionally, the system includes a hazard warning function, providing an extra layer of security in critical situations. (bumm.de)
Effortless Installation and Sustainability
Designed for easy retrofitting, the TURNTEC T2 is compatible with handlebars having an inner diameter between 17.5 to 19.5 mm and can accommodate up to a 20° bend. Installation requires no special tools, making it accessible for a wide range of cyclists. The integrated battery, concealed within the handlebars, is rechargeable via a USB-C port located on the left indicator unit. A built-in charge level monitor keeps riders informed of the battery status. Emphasising sustainability, both the battery and individual components are replaceable, extending the system’s lifespan and reducing environmental impact. (bumm.de)
