Knog Blinder MOB V rear light review

A very good product that doesn't need cables to be recharged

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The fact that the Knog Blinder MOB V doesn't need a cable to charge (as it features an integrated USB plug that can survive all conditions) is an excellent feature. It's also bright and compact, but I wasn't convinced by the durability of the mount.

When I realised I didn't need a cable to charge the Knog Blinder MOB V, my whole world of bike lights changed perspective. I definitely thought I found the one rear light I was looking for. The greatest pain I had last winter when I was charging my lights was the number of cables tangled on my desk, around my laptop or scattered in my flat, and at last here is a light that could solve that.
