Frequently asked questions
What types of reflectors are available?
There are passive reflectors such as cat's eyes, spoke reflectors, adhesive reflectors and reflective bands, as well as active reflectors with LED lighting. Passive reflectors bounce back incoming light, while active reflectors illuminate themselves and additionally increase visibility in darkness and poor weather conditions.
Are reflectors on bicycles legally required in Switzerland?
Yes, in Switzerland the Ordinance on Technical Requirements for Road Vehicles (VTS) stipulates that bicycles must be equipped with a white front reflector, a red rear reflector and pedal reflectors. Additionally, reflectors on the spokes or continuously reflective tyre sidewalls are required to ensure lateral visibility.
How do I correctly mount reflectors on a bicycle?
Front reflectors are mounted at the front at the height of the headlight beam, rear reflectors at the height of the rear light. Spoke reflectors are clipped between the spokes and should be evenly distributed. Pedal reflectors are usually already integrated or are attached to the front and rear of the pedals. Ensure that all reflectors are firmly seated and not obscured.
Which reflectors are suitable for children and the school run?
For children and the school run, reflective adhesive tapes for helmets and school bags, hanging reflectors in animal shapes or bright colours, reflective vests and flashing LED reflectors are particularly suitable. This combination provides all-round good visibility and makes children recognisable to motorists at an early stage in road traffic.
How do I properly care for and clean reflectors?
Reflectors should be cleaned regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, dust and road grime. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the reflective surface. If reflectors are heavily scratched or have become dull, replacement is recommended.
What is the difference between passive and active reflectors?
Passive reflectors reflect incoming light from headlights or street lamps and function without their own power source. Active reflectors have their own LED light source with a battery or rechargeable battery and illuminate independently. Active reflectors offer a safety advantage especially in complete darkness without an external light source.
How long do reflectors last and when should they be replaced?
High-quality reflectors last for several years with proper care. Replacement is recommended when the surface is heavily scratched, dull or clouded, when the housing shows cracks or when the reflector no longer holds properly. Active LED reflectors should be serviced or replaced accordingly when the battery or rechargeable battery's luminosity diminishes.
Which reflectors are suitable for e-bikes and fast bicycles?
For e-bikes and fast bicycles up to 45 km/h, increased visibility requirements apply. Particularly large rear reflectors with a high reflection class, additional spoke reflectors for optimal all-round visibility and active LED reflectors are suitable here. Look for approval according to Swiss regulations and a suitable mounting that remains stable even at higher speeds.
