The mini bicycle bell from Baonuor impresses with its handy format. Thanks to its small dimensions and weight of just 30 grams, the bicycle bell can be easily attached to the handlebars. The very small product impresses with its loud and clear ringtone, which is loud enough to make itself heard in traffic and thus offers an additional safety factor in everyday life. The glossy black design of the bicycle bell is both modern and timeless and therefore goes well with any bike, whether e-bike or mountain bike. The bicycle bell can be fitted in just a few seconds using the Allen key supplied. The bicycle bell made a very good impression in our test. Despite the simple installation, a small illustrated installation guide, which could be printed on one long side of the box, for example, would have been desirable.
Advantages

The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Tiny, sturdy box, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Compact product packaging, no unnecessary packaging waste, bell is packed in a plastic bag | 80 points |
| Package contents & scope | Bicycle bell, small screwdriver | 100 points |
| Assembly instructions / battery | Not included | 70 points |
| Total | 88 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking, I found two things on the table: the bicycle bell and a small wrench. Apart from the small plastic bag in which the bicycle bell is packed, the packaging is compact and environmentally friendly. Due to the robust material of the bicycle bell, there is no doubt that it is well and securely packaged. Apart from an instruction manual or assembly instructions and a battery, everything you need is included in the scope of delivery. A small illustrated manual in paper form would have been desirable as an addition – currently, buyers can only view a short illustrated assembly manual on the seller’s Amazon page. To save paper, the short instructions could simply be printed on one side of the box.

The low weight of just 30 grams is barely noticeable on the handlebars. The bell can produce sounds at a volume of up to 100 decibels. The clear and clean sound can easily assert itself acoustically and also ensures that you are easily heard in road traffic. Due to the robust material of the bell, it can be assumed that the product is durable and long-lasting. Fitting the bell is easy and the product can be installed in no time at all. A particular highlight of the mini bicycle bell is the fact that, despite its small size and light weight, it is able to produce a particularly loud and pleasant ringing tone. The Baonuor mini bicycle bell therefore fulfills its purpose 100 % and is an ideal companion for everyday cycling.
