E-Bikes Are Faster Than Ever. Wingman Helps Drivers and Their Vehicles See You
Rear-end collisions are the #1 threat to E-Bikes. Wingman makes E-Bikes more detectable to the cameras and sensors modern vehicles rely on to avoid collision – giving drivers time they need to react.
E-bikes are faster than regular bikes. Your safety gear still isn’t designed for that speed.
Most e-bike riders assume a bright taillight or reflective vest is enough. But at 20–28 mph, you’re closing gaps faster than drivers expect — and faster than their eyes can react. The vehicles most likely to hit you from behind aren’t relying on human attention alone. They use cameras, radar, and ADAS collision sensors that interpret cyclists based on shape, contrast, and reflectivity — not brightness.
E-bike injuries have surged 1,800% since 2017 — and rear-end collisions remain the #1 threat
At e-bike speeds, drivers have 40% less reaction time than with a traditional cyclist
A taillight tells a human you’re there. It doesn’t trigger a vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system.
A reflector only works when headlights are already pointed at you. By then, at e-bike closing speeds, it may already be too late.
You mounted a taillight.
You wear a reflective vest.
You stick to well-lit routes.
But you’re riding an e-bike at 22 mph — and the SUV closing in from behind at 45 mph isn’t relying on its driver’s eyes alone. Its cameras are scanning. Its radar is pinging. Its ADAS system is deciding, in milliseconds, whether you’re a cyclist, a shadow, or nothing at all. Your taillight doesn’t factor into that decision. Your reflective vest doesn’t register in that system. If the car’s sensors don’t clearly identify you as a rider — none of your gear matters in the half-second that counts. Wingman was built for that half-second.
“It looks like a reflector. It’s not.” Most e-bike riders see Wingman and think they already own something like it. You don’t. A reflector bounces light back to human eyes. A taillight adds brightness. Neither one communicates with the collision avoidance system in the car behind you — the system that can slam the brakes before the driver even reacts. Wingman was engineered for that system.

Meet Wingman: The E-Bike Safety Device That Speaks the Language Cars Already Understand
Wingman is not a reflector. It’s not a taillight. It uses Prizmatic Optimization Technology — a multispectral composite and geometry engineered to:
- Make you identifiable to vehicle cameras and ADAS collision sensors at e-bike speeds.
- Present the shape signature and contrast profile these systems are trained to detect.
- Work in every lighting condition — dawn commutes, dusk rides, after-dark deliveries.
All without batteries, charging, or maintenance. It looks simple. What it does is anything but.
1) Wingman mounts to the rear of any e-bike in seconds — no tools, no modification
2) Its specialized surface geometry creates the contrast and shape profile that vehicle safety sensors are trained to recognize
3) ADAS-equipped vehicles detect you sooner — triggering driver alerts and automatic braking with more time and distance to react
4) You ride at full speed with real confidence — fewer close calls, calmer commutes, and one less thing to charge before every ride
Why Your E-Bike Safety Setup Has a Blind Spot
Your taillight tells human eyes you’re there. Your reflector bounces light back when headlights hit it at the right angle. But neither one sends a signal to the collision avoidance system inside the car behind you. That system — the one that triggers automatic emergency braking — reads shape, contrast, and reflectivity patterns. It doesn’t read brightness. At e-bike speeds, where closing distances shrink fast, that’s the system that matters most. Wingman is the only device in your kit designed to communicate with it.
Features & Benefits
Wingman was designed for how e-bike riders actually ride — fast commutes, night deliveries, school runs, weekend errands. No charging, no app, no fuss.
Collision Sensor Detectability — Not Just Visibility
Engineered to be recognized by the ADAS cameras and radar systems that modern vehicles use to trigger automatic braking — the systems your taillight and reflector don’t reach.
Zero Charging, Zero Forgetting.
No batteries. No USB cable. No “I forgot to turn it on.” Wingman is active on every ride, automatically — which matters when you’re already charging your e-bike, your phone, and your lights.
Built for Every E-Bike.
Fits Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 e-bikes — commuter frames, step-throughs, fat-tire models, cargo bikes, and folding e-bikes. No adapters, no modifications.
Installs in Seconds, Moves Between Bikes.
One mount system, no tools. Swap it from your commuter e-bike to your kid’s ride in under a minute — perfect for multi-bike households.
Engineered for the Hours That Kill
56% of cycling fatalities happen in low light. Wingman delivers layered detectability during the exact conditions where e-bike riders are most at risk — pre-dawn commutes, evening rides, and overnight deliveries.

Built for the Fastest-Growing Segment on the Road
1.5 million e-bikes were sold in the U.S. last year. Injuries have surged 1,800% since 2017.
New laws like California’s AB 544 now require rear visibility at all hours — because legislators know what riders already feel: e-bikes have outpaced the safety gear designed to protect them.
Radian built Wingman to close that gap. Not with a brighter light. Not with more reflective tape. With a device engineered to make e-bike riders detectable to the collision avoidance systems that can stop a car before the driver even reacts.
Our mission is simple: make every e-bike rider visible to every vehicle — human-driven or sensor-guided — on every ride.

FAQ
Answering the questions e-bike riders ask right before they buy — and the ones they wish they’d asked sooner.
Isn't Wingman just a reflector?
It looks like one. It’s not just a reflector. A reflector bounces light back to human eyes. Wingman uses Prizmatic Optimization Technology — a multispectral surface geometry engineered to be detected by vehicle ADAS cameras, radar, and collision sensors. It’s the difference between being seen by a driver and being recognized by the car itself.
Does it work on my e-bike?
Yes. Wingman fits Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 e-bikes — commuter frames, step-throughs, fat-tire, cargo, and folding models. No adapters or special hardware needed. If your bike has a seatpost or rear mount point, Wingman fits.
I already have a taillight. Why do I need this?
Your taillight makes you visible to human eyes. Wingman makes you detectable to collision avoidance sensors — the systems that trigger automatic emergency braking. They solve two different problems. Wingman doesn’t replace your light. It fills the gap your light can’t.
Does it need to be charged?
No. Zero batteries, zero charging. Wingman is always active — which means one less device competing for your charging cables alongside your e-bike battery, phone, and lights.
Does it help with the new California rear visibility law (AB 544)?
Wingman’s rear-mounted design and reflective properties support compliance with California’s AB 544, which requires rear visibility during all hours of operation — not just at night. It’s a natural fit for riders adapting to the new standard.
Your E-Bike Is Fast. Make Sure Cars Can Keep Up.
Wingman is for every e-bike rider who’s tired of close calls — commuters, parents, delivery riders, and anyone who knows that a taillight and a prayer aren’t enough on today’s roads.
