- Italian entrepreneurs Luca Amaduzzi and Agostino Stilli found navigating London’s busy streets difficult when they’d first moved to the capital, the pair had invented WingLights and are seeking an investment of £45,000 in return for a 5% equity stake.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

I know what would go brilliantly with this ; some LED lights on Road signs
Have you seen the traffic lights that the whole pole lights up insted of just looking at 3 small round lights its amazing they help truck drivers alot because they can see them from further away.I will have a look and try and DIRECT you for you too see.
Imagine if some just replaced the stop slow signs with LEDS would be a lot simpler
In turkey they have a countdown above the traffic light to let you know when its going to change, or at least they had them when I visited. I thought that was brilliant.
Found it they are in the Ukraine have a look at these Bad boys i think they are brilliant.I Google them and its a photo i cant find on TH-cam
That's considered the worst item ever pitched on Dragon's Den.
You can tell Nick really wanted to invest in their business. He didn't even have to think twice when they asked for lower equity.
Because he was probably thinking "i would have gone down to 10%"
Lol true. But they should’ve asked what he could bring to the business, what doors he would open for them like touker did
@@WiseEyes313 I agree, they should have but these guys didn't do their homework on any of the dragons. Seems like they're just looking for a cash injection to take the business where they want to and manage it themselves.
@@WiseEyes313 Well, although Tuka knows the bicycle market, I think Nick was better simply because he being a biker made him passionate about the product! And once you're really passionate about a product or venture, it is likely to go very far!

they're going to regret rejecting touker as they could've tested the lights in toukers office space in london

I feel like this has taught me about how to avoid driving in the UK, blinking yellow means a disco to half of them apparently
"half of them"??
“Most drivers wouldn’t know what an orange blinking light means”
Explains the huge road deaths every year then really doesn’t it
The majority of car drivers in the UK do not indicate so how would they have any idea what they are on a cycle
Its cause we love a party
Imagine how awkward would the first scene have been without music where the guy is cycling around in complete silence.
Haha indeed!
Which is how it would have played out in the Den real time haha

Ive never seen a dragon so easily just say “yeah sure” when being asked to lower his equity.
I think that’s just Nick. He seemed he was genuinely interested in the product and probably couldn’t be arsed arguing over 2.5%
Ok the narrator have got to chill with his pun game at this point, it’s getting out of hand..
"My inability to chill with my pun game is getting the cold shoulder from M A, who claims it is getting out of hand, but will they lose grasp on wanting to watch future episodes?"
You know the narrator doesn't have a choice, right?
Someone else writes the script.
Cxrrupt ...
M A says the narrator puns are getting out of hand. But Peter thinks he has a point
Ok well the script writer needs fired.
One of the thing I like about Dragons Den over Shark Tank, is that the Dragons allow every dragon to give their input/offers for the entrepreneurs to hear and decide. Every once in a while the sharks will make an offer and box the guests into a corner("accept now or I'm out"). Laurie Grenier has cost maaaany guest offers from sharks because she would give them the idea that her offer was better(when it wasnt) or just go out completely.
Shark Tank AUS allows for negotiations on the entrepreneurs depending on if the business is investable in their opinion or nah.
There's a big difference to sitting on a chair looking at the bike from behind then sitting in a car. There should be a signal at the back as well
They have now teamed up with Derek Cousins of Flow Signals!
this is a very underrated comment
Some people are addicted to cocaine and I am addicted to Dragons' Den.
Im addicted to crack. The crack of Sarah Willingham.
@Richard Kelbe talk to Frank
@Kristy Kelly it doesn't sound like you have beat it yet in all fairness. In fact you're in denial
I would suggest ringing Car Doctor and he'll ask "are you addicted to Dragons Den" and when you answer yes he'll say "I would suggest seeing a doctor. That'll be £95 please"
Apart from the lovely smell of cocaine I find it very overrated much prefer the comments section for the real big high
There once was a lady named Jenny
Investments she made were not many
It was never in doubt
She would say, 'I'm out.",
She hated to part with a penny
That’s y she’s a multimillionaire and ur a peasant

Jason Goodacre that is abs shite y bother
Put the lights on the riders fingers like rave gloves. Then when they hold their arm out it can activate on a motion sensor to indicate their turn
Does any want to hop on and ride the bike?
Jenny: I'll mount
I wouldn't use those as a sole way of signalling. They would be complementary to using hand signals (especially at night) which every cyclist should be comfortable doing if they frequent the road.
Wow touker negging them really backfired. 'bike soup?' 😂
Since the company is now bust, he had a narrow escape
It’s frustrating to argue with a non-cyclist. It’s a good product for a cyclist to ensure an extra level of safety. And simply, no one can see your raised hands when it’s at night/dark
so true
And I bet they can actually improve it over years to come to continue to innovate and sell new ways to signal.
They're speaking from a drivers perspective. The people you're trying to protect yourself from. Also, they can see your raised hands at night/dark if you're wearing hi-vis clothing which is what you should be doing at night.
It's a terrible product for cyclists. 99.99% of bicycles don't have turn signals, so nobody is looking out for turn signals on a bicycle. If anyone does see a flashing light on the end of your handlebars, I guarantee that they're thinking "What's that flashing light?" not "Cyclist is about to turn."
Dragons: I can't see the indicators.
Car doctor: open your eyes. Thank yo- *crashes into bike*
Touker: I have some office space in London you can test the lights in!
Note to self, if I ever see Sarah behind the wheel of a car don't indicate because if there's a flashing light it must be a bike
I wouldn't report her for texting at the wheel. Too sexy for that.
That's a wasted comment
Cyclists never indicate anyway
“Bike Suit” NO *”Bike Soup”* 😆

@@Casey-Jones Very helpful
Debra made a point, exactly what I was thinking, they're just to small to see. On the other hand, putting your arm out at night cannot be seen properly, unless you are wearing a high viz. From Sarah's point of view, saying "I wouldn't know what it was for when I see it on a bike" I think the light would give you a clue that someone is close to you, to signal, when you are driving your car. I just think these guys need to make a bigger one.
I recall, many years ago we used to never miss Dragons' Den at our house, when it was on the telly. They did many seasons since, and these days no one has a TV. Now I'm watching these back-to-back here on YT. It's still a great show, and this is my favourite line-up of dragons.
WTF bike soup?! 😂
It's souper duper delicious
i mean they're italian, they'd probably find a way to make it taste good
Letgo for bikes apparently, shame it is not a real soup
Bike Suit. It's a business suit with wheels on the back. You lay down and it's like being on a toboggan. For the business man on the go or the business man who wants to roll around his empty offices in London on his lunch break.
I would probs think the indicator is a light especially because it's something you don't see often. I would say either have the light on the bikers helmet or on the back of the bike. And the indicators maybe need to be slightly longer just to make sure they are visible from the handle bars
Exactly. Nobody expects to see indicator lights on a bicycle, so nobody is looking out for them, and anybody who does see them is just going to think "Huh, what's that flashing light?"
"On your bike Touker" 🚴♀️ we want Nick 😅
I'd be interested to see how noticeable they would be on a road bike handlebar. I suspect they'd be hidden by the rider. I don't think I'd feel confident that this would be noticed more than an arm out. To simply press the light and pull across traffic seems quite risky.
just needs to be 4 instead of 2, 2 on front two in back
Folks never see pedestrians or motorcycle riders either
Sticking your hand out and pulling across traffic is "quite risky", too. You need to look and check that it's actually clear! But these lights are still a terrible idea. Nobody expects them to be there, so nobody will look out for them. Anybody who does see them will be thinking, "Huh, what's that flashing light?" not "Aha, cyclist about to turn."
Seems like traffic in London is worse than in Naples
More Often Than Not... I Often Click The 'Like' Button When The Narrator Hits A Pretty Good Punchline 😅😅💯
Italians selling indicators !! They never use them so might as well sell them all.. same in Malta too.
sarah: yeah yeah yeah
We attach a flow signal, it's red in colour, it mimics the traffic
Indicators does nog belong on bikes. In Denmark the law says " Even if you have indicators on bikes or mopeds, you stil have to signal with you hand in which direction you wish to turn".
Sarah is right, bicycles do have lots of flashing lights on them, but not orange and I think if I saw that I would know right away it's an indicator. Like Nick said what does she think when she sees a scooter indicating? But just can see Deborah's point, from some angles you can't see the one side.
this is genius, Sarah missed the whole thing by focusing solely on her specific case. Think about how ppl drive right now, even when we turn our signals we check our blind spots and rear before switching lanes or turning, this is exactly the same whilst aggregating to that safety net.
It's not genius. 99.99% of bicycles don't have indicator lights, so nobody's looking out for them. Anybody who does see them will just think "Huh, what's that flashing light?"
I cycle everywhere and would not buy this. I agree with Deborah. Putting your arm out is a lot clearer and safer imo. Makes me feel better and safer as a cyclist. Indicator lights that I can put on my wrist? Sure. I'd buy that for sure.
Did they say the lights eliminate the need to put out the hand. It's added tools to get drivers attentions.
No matter you have, defensive riding and driving is key. Too many people driving with their eyes on their phones.
That's nothing new. I had battery operated indicators, front and back, on my bike when I was a boy and that's about 60 years ago.
Front AND back is key tbf. No-one looks for an indicator on the front of the vehicle they're approaching. The ones I remember from the 80's were also a lot bigger than those ones (bigger but not inhibitively so).
60 years ago.
In the early 1960's my brother had a similar set of flashing indicators on his bike. The problem was that in inclement weather especially fog and mist only the flashing light could be seen by a driver. As the flashers located in the ends of the handlebars were too close together the following driver could not determine which direction the cyclist was going to turn. After a few near misses my brother scrapped these dangerous devices.
That is a good point actually
Perhaps they need to use some flow lights, it has a red colour. It has arrows.
I’ve got one of these. Looks nice but to indicate you have to tap the light which causes instability. Shame because I wanted to like them. Plus being at the front does block visibility from behind. Ended up with a smart helmet which has flashing arrows. Much more visible.
LuStar yeah it’s great. Livall smart helmet hands free with indicators, Bluetooth phone and even an app which is meant to notify a loved one of it sense you fall suddenly. It’s on amazon for £149. Or the Winglights thems3lves are £37.
These guys have expanded their range and seem to be doing really really well

It's a good idea and something that bikers will obviously be interested in buying but I think the concerns brought up were actually really good ones. It's a neat accessory but you can't actually see it many times when it's on, and Sarah is right, bikes have loads of lights and if you're not a biker, it's super easy to not know that orange means it's a signal. I wonder how many people wearing this have gotten hit
Glad to hear it, Nick seemed very keen.
Put lights on bicycle gloves, so when you make the legal arm motion they can see the light flashing the direction you are going.
The right answer is that hand signaling is still a good complement and this makes it even safer. Just because you have these it doesnt glue your hands to the bar ofc..
There is no way a driver will see you indicate with this during the day....
And even if they did see it, they won't connect the flashing light with a turn signal, simply because bicycles don't have turn signals.
Gloves that have a flashing amber LED strip across the back so traffic can clearly see your hand signal. Little on/off button sits in the crease of the thumb and 1st knuckle so you can turn it on and off as needed without taking your hand off the handlebars.
This is not new, as back in about 1956 I bought an indicator thingy to mount under the saddle, which was a box with two left/right arrows that lit up orange when I used a switch on my handle bars, to save sticking my arm out when turning......not too bad in daylight, but at night more visible I thought.
I was ignored by drivers behind me, and got beeped at a lot when turning, so I took it off and chucked in the bin.
It seemed a good idea at the time to have some modern (useless) tech. on my push bike........lol
The same for these gadgets. because surely it depends on the length of your handle bars, or drop handlebars on 'racing' bikes, because if a bit short, the pedalist would hide them from view?
Perhaps if they were on the end of 5-6" extensions from the end of the handlebars, that might make them a bit more visible.
But then if you have to stick your arm out anyway to indicate left/right, what's the point of these 'flashers'?
I think the ON/OFF needs to be linked to two lights at the rear on stalks then when turning left or right these will be seen by people ahead and by people following.
Been using these the last 2 years, can’t fault them and they work!
I hope they don't go faulty
Company is now bust LOL
Casey Jones really? Shame that because they’re pretty good.
@@Casey-Jones still trading as of this week..........but their published accounts aren't the best. Indive Ltd.
I just respect Nick so much. He's never greedy with the equity and always so fair. I think he would be a fantastic business partner. Debra needs to start accepting constructive criticism though. She is so rude when someone disagrees with her.
If they added rear lights and had a switch on the handle bars for left and right this would be the perfect product.
An outstretched arm is universally understood as indicating, and it costs nothing lol.
All they need is a bracket to attach to the rear where you can add two more indicators that wirelessly connect to the front ones. No need for an additional switch.
A mate of mine had a set on his road bike back in the early 80's. They were so cool or so I thought at the time.
Good on Nick. He had their back from the start and stuck up for them everytime a dragon said something bad about their product. Not often you see that in the den. Glad they picked him.
JENNY: "I'll tell you where I am. I'm chewing at samples in Carpet World Oldham."
So specific 😂😂
Trust me, ANY added lights on your bike help. Do the arm, have lights everywhere, have the loudest bell...I ride everyday and have almost died twice (not exaggerating). I ride well, but at night, lights are EVERYTHING in the city.
Wow! These guys are so ridiculously short-sighted. Didn't do their research. No clue which Dragon could help their company really take off and become profitable. And then when that Dragon offered them a deal, they didn't take it! Brilliant!
It's okay Touker, your offices in Lodon are still safe
I think they were won over by Nick's enthusiasm and being a cyclist himself.
Put lights on the pedals each side also? Or helmet. In the night times in uk who sees some1 hand stick out
A bike light product was on the show before and didn't get investment as they thought bike manufactures would install their own on all new bikes.
@BS Handle Created unpractical, cause then u always need to use gloves and make sure u never lose them expensive gloves. And if u want to use the phone u need to take them out.
@BS Handle Created fingerless would be nice indeed. I wouldn't buy that, since gloves in general are smtg I lose all the time, just like sunglasses. If I had the blinkers from the pitch, I would maybe lose them, but at least that should be cheaper than the gloves or a helmet w blinkers.
@BS Handle Created security because in the uk anything not permanently affixed to a bike ie quick release wheels/seats or any kind of lights typically becomes a target for theft
Jenny: I'm out, and for that reason I don't see this as an investable business
Nick looks so scared of Debbie 😂
So you're on a bike, you need to turn left, so you fit a flow signal.
After also having developed a bike radio, clove compartment and airbag, the company went bust in 2015..
No, they didn't; they're still going. They're now called Cycl.
Bravi ! Sono fiera🇮🇹 🥺🤩
Touker also has an office you can use
😂
They’re not divided on the visibility. They’re just sat in different places.
I bet the dragons didn't write down both the entrepreneurs names at the beginning because they wouldn't want to even begin to attempt to spell it 😂
How in the hell can ANYONE come into dragons den, shark tank or other shows and not now everything about the investors is beyond me. What is wrong with these entrepreneurs? I know more about these dragons in America, than they do as UK/Londoners.
Maybe have the indicators on the gloves 🧤 too?
It's like a flow signal for your bike
Touker hardly gets chosen when most dragons make offers. Does he have bad rep or it's his offers that are bad?
Been thinking the same thing!
Because everytime someone pitches a product that he is involved in for example clothing or in this case bikes he believes that he should slap on an outrages percentage.
@@CuddlesOG sounds greedy
@@gilbertsamuel2144 yes it is, peter jones does it but he can get away with it because its peter and he has a previous history of getting business to a very profitable business. I have actually heard touker on 2 occasions ask for half of someones company lol. Outrages!!
Jenny: it's lights OUT for me.
Touker: *sarcastically* Did you do your homework? Did you do your homework?
Peter: Obviously not!
Touker: Oh ok
Astonishing that they didnt know of Touker's bikesoup website.
Should have countered it. Have both for 10% each...
The first selling point should’ve been highlighted as night time riding. Hand signs aren’t visible at night
they should just sell 4 indicators, one on handle bars and one on rear of the bike... use them in tandem like a normal vehicle
I've never seen a cyclist go down the road riding in circles 😂😂
Easy solution for lights not being visible from the back... put two at the back as well which are linked with the ones on the front. SOLVED.
Loool All I got from this is that Nick will not ride his bike if the other Dragons were driving near him
Damn where is that curry video?!!
An enhancement, but not something to rely on.
Jenny: Thanks for the free gift and for that reason I am out.
Jenny isnt even there and she's out 😂😂😂
im glad they went with nick
It`s not ideal up front, I`d probably have my hand way too close to the indicator and cars don`t know that this might be an indicator. As someone who rides a bike every day, I would love real indicators on bikes , quite often when you turn left it`s tough to indicate with my arm because I`m scared to fall. but than they gonna have to be the same for everyone so cars behind me really know what`s going on. on bikes
I rarely see a cyclist using hand signals in the way taught me back in the 50s. with your arm straight out from the shoulder. But I wonder if the turn signal lights are visible with riders wearing big flappy coats in winter, plus the bags they all seam to carry.
The one good point is they make the bike visible from the side during a turn, if the set up could be made to work with an additional set behind the rider then their onto a winner.
Even in bicycle country Netherlands almost NO ONE uses hand signals. Pisses me off
It's not a winner because nobody's looking out for indicator lights on bicycles.
Who else feels posh when Deborah says "Excellent..."?
See lots of bikes these days. Never seen any flashing lights!
I like when Peter and Deborah don't offer and another dragon gets it. They would have offered at 35% then the pitchers come back and ask them to reduce which pisses off the other dragons and peter walks away with 25%
Debbie : It's Italian, and it looks Good - but is it ORGANIC, is it GREEN, and more importantly, is it RECYCLABLE and ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ???
Nick made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
I seen these for sale a few years ago when I was looking for something like this. Never had a breeze they were on Dragons Den.
I had something similar years ago that fit just below the seat and was actual arrows, they fazed out pretty quick because it was a gimmick. No one really used them and for a driver of a car, they don't really have the time to look all around trying to see if there are signals. Nothing will ever beat the hand signals that no one ever uses anymore. Bike riders almost dare you to hit them expecting you to adjust your 3000 pound car to their 70 pound bike.
What bike weighs 70lbs? And why do you believe you have priority just because your vehicle weighs more?
Nick and Duncan are the best dragons.
And James Kahn
Good shout
I think they should have floopy indicators on the back which stick out.
