Velo bell: for more safety in road traffic 

When you are out and about on your bike, you will often encounter pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. You and your bike are not always immediately recognised and are therefore easily overlooked. To avoid painful collisions, it is important that you make yourself noticed. The quickest way to do this is with a good bicycle bell, also known as a bike bell or bike horn, which acoustically informs others of your presence.

Bicycle bells are available in many different versions, so you can choose the right model for you in terms of design, sound and size of the bell. Transa's diverse range of bicycle bells includes, for example, Chinese bells, models with a classic design and funny animal motifs for the next generation of cyclists 

Velo bell: small, light and powerful 

With an eye-catching bicycle bell, you are guaranteed never to be overheard in traffic again. To ensure that the bell fulfils this requirement, you should pay attention to the following criteria when choosing one:

You can recognise a good bicycle bell by the following features:

  • It is easy to install on the bike without much effort. On some models, suitable tools such as Allen keys are already included in the scope of delivery. 
  • The sound is conspicuous so that it reliably warns other road users.  ;
  • Some models retain their sound for a particularly long time after being triggered. 
  • You have a wide choice of designs - from classic bells to elegant design models, there is something for every taste, even when it comes to bicycle bells.
  • For kids, there are particularly child-friendly designs in the form of animal figures that not only ring the bell but also make funny honking sounds on kids' bikes, pushchairs or boogie wheels.
  • The material (e.g. steel, brass and aluminium) is robust and therefore long-lasting 
  • The accessories for attaching the bike bell (e.g. clamp and screws) are very stable and prevent the bell from getting lost while riding. Many bells can also be attached with a simple O-ring and are therefore suitable for different handlebar sizes.  
  • There are extra-flat models that are particularly space-saving and inconspicuous on the handlebar - ideal for sporty bikers. 
  • Many models can be attached to the right or left of the handlebar and are therefore suitable for both left-handed and right-handed riders.

Bicycle bells - which sound is recommended?

It is important that you can hear the bell well even in noisy traffic. However, the sound should not be too loud so as not to frighten others excessively. Classic sounds that can be immediately recognised as a typical bicycle bell are well suited. For children's bikes, it can also be a fun horn sound.
