Fun and functional interactions

The Skate Bell was designed to bring the safety benefits of bicycle bells to skaters and users of alternative transportation. Worn on the body, it provides flexibility across different modes of transport.

Beyond its primary function, the bell features two additional design elements:

  1. Integrated Light – Enhances visibility in low-light or poor weather conditions, passively increasing rider safety.
  2. Storage Mode – When the belt clip is extended, the bell automatically disables, allowing for convenient storage by attaching it to a skateboard or other transportation device.

The bell's exterior is made of soft rubber, which not only provides a comfortable grip but also helps prop boards against walls, reducing slipping and falls. Additionally, the bell’s distinctive, playful sound reflects the energy and individuality of skateboarders and alternative transport users.
