| Rating cut | 4.4 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 70 points |
| Total | 75 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The product receives an average rating of 4.4 stars on Amazon. Customers particularly appreciate the simple, tool-free installation and the ability to change wheels in a matter of seconds. The USB charging function without batteries is also rated positively. One point of criticism is the wobbliness of the attachment. Customers also criticize the fact that the brackets cannot be reordered separately, especially when using multiple bikes. Overall, however, the positive reviews for the mounting, the USB charging process and the light quality outweigh the negative ones. Possible improvements to the mounting and the availability of spare parts could further increase customer satisfaction.
Prices of up to €53.60 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €15.99 . With a price of €26.99 (70 lux version), the VELMIA bike front light is therefore currently in the middle price segment. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
