Are these hard to take off the bike? I've had trouble with my lights being stolen and would prefer something that is easy to get on/off.

I just purchased these for me and my 11yo daughter, easy to use and very easy to whip off. The front is a bit harder than the rear but once you do it a few times, no worries. Oh and they are very bright!! Very pleased :)

The bottom section is screwed to the bike. It is hard to take it off. You can slide out the light. So, if I park outside, I put the lights in the backpack.

The headlight mount is tool-less to install/uninstall, you just spin the screw tight. I wouldn't say you need to take the whole mount off to prevent theft - the headlight itself comes off by bending a little plastic thingy to release and slide it out (like most lights). It's secure when riding and just takes a second to fiddle with in order for the light to release. The taillight mount requires a screwdriver to secure it to the seat post, but the light just clicks in and out of a track. I take my lights off when parked and would recommend these for that reason.

there is a piece that fastens to your handlebars, and hte light slide son and off that. ti is easy to remove to take inside and charge. but you leave the clamp on the handlebars.

it depends on your bike.mine had a quick release mechanism,so it could easily slip in. Then i had a quick adjustment to make it screwed down,so it cant be removed and stolen,easily

They aren't that hard to get off ,if they are put on correctly. Make sure to not cross thread them when putting on or taking off . A little oil on the threads also helps . I have 6 of them for spices .

Yours may have been defective. I took mine off the holders too, they were also a little hard to get off but came off with a hard tug.

It has been quite a while since I opened mine. It seems to me that there is a place on the bottom of the light that you push in and the light opens at the seam. I don't think it should be that hard to get into. I do know that the light doesn't really work very well at night. I only bought it because it looks cool on my bike!

I take mine off every time I put the boat up. Yes, they're easy to install and take off. Just use an allen wrench to make sure they're tight, so they don't move around when boating or trailering. Just loosen and unplug. I store them in the original box.

I wouldn't recommend taking them off after you've tightened them onto your handle bars. You risk stripping the hex screws that hold them on and the diameter of the bar ends would be smaller than originally once you remove them. I would not recommend any type of bar ends on a rental bike, not to mention the ends of the handlebar grips have to be cut/removed to put these on a bike's handlebars.

Hi Alex!sorry for getting back to you so late. Its very very easy to take off. I love these lights and trust me they are well worth the cheap price. Usually, lights like this are in the hundreds. I highly recommend. I may even order more in case this deal ever goes away. lol. Happy Biking!-Albert

I used a screwdriver. It did seem like it was going to break, but nothing broke. I do agree they should be easier to take off.

The lights have like a tape on the bottom of them and you peel a layer off to stick it. (I've had 1 come off of my bike) the switch is small and has a nut to hold it into a hole, I like the lights and they are very bright and really make the bike look nice at night

If theft is a concern, you might want to use a different lighting approach. This unit is very small and easy to disconnect and carry off.

I have not tried it nor would I. You are correct they are locked in when you pull a bike into them otherwise I believe they could come undone.

They haven't fallen off yet! I have a slim frame, and the rear light on the seat post gets turned around occasionally, as it's not very tight, but it has remained on the bike.

I think he means secure as in secure from theft. I did read somewhere that there is an embedded nut on the light itself, so if you were to use some form of secure mount with what is probably a 1/4-20 thread bolt, then you can lock it in place. That's how I plan to attach mine, to a plate that is mounted under the handlebars and out of the way. Make it so that it's too much effort to steal.

sorry, i can't help. i can not detach mine either, but i only use the one that came on it and i'm satisfied. there were some comments from some buyers last year that they said they came out too easy. so maybe they tightened them up. i was afraid i might break it if i pulled it down too hard...

They're extremely easy to take off. Just make sure the tub/shower is very dry before you install them.

I have not dropped mine. I try to really take of my lights and always use a lanyard. Sorry can't help.
