FORT MYERS, Fla., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The failure of snowmobilers to detect and recognize when those in front are slowing down has led to dangerous, life-threatening collisions. Helping to prevent deaths, injuries, costly repairs and downtime due to an accident, Powersport Innovations introduces Safe Ride(TM) for Snowmobiles, providing peace of mind during those fun times in the snow. This patented system utilizes a strobing, bright-red LED to warn followers when your sled is decelerating from throttle reduction and engine braking.

Paul Grzebielucha, President and CEO of Powersport Innovations, says, "We are excited about bringing our life-saving Safe Ride(TM) technology to the snowmobile users. We believe that Safe Ride(TM) should become a standard feature on all snowmobiles. Everyone wants to be safe and visible while having fun. Safe Ride(TM) really helps this happen with the red LED light that strobes when you decelerate for any reason. This product is so advanced it operates on G-Force reduction and is not dependent upon mechanical connections. The Safe Ride(TM) technology activates seconds before your brake lights go on!"

This innovative new technology on the Safe Ride(TM) system includes a microprocessor-controlled G-force sensing module. As a snowmobile throttles down or decelerates, the module provides power to the LED. When engaged, the red LED strobes, gaining surrounding snowmobilers' full attention and helping them take timely corrective action and avoid collisions. This advanced warning system works with any reduction of speed as well as when the brakes are applied.

Safe Ride(TM) draws minimal power of only 170 milliamps. Featuring a low-profile design, its highly visible LED can last up to 100,000 hours. Extremely durable, the system is fully water-, shock- and vibration-proof. With marine-grade wire and epoxy-embedded circuitry, it can withstand harsh weather conditions. Safe Ride(TM) comes with installation instructions and is simple to install.

Casey Botta, Co-Owner of Rip City Motorsports in Portland, Oregon, says, "We have installed Safe Ride on several sleds and the product works well to give advanced warning when we are slowing down. While we were testing the product, other riders were impressed on how bright and how well the Safe Ride system functioned. Safe Ride will prevent accidents and injuries! This is a great product for us to offer our customers."

Paul Grzebielucha, president and CEO of Powersport Innovations, states, "This product continues our work to provide innovative products that will help save lives. We are dedicated to helping reduce the annual accidents, impairments and deaths due to rear-end collisions."

Safe Ride(TM) from Powersport Innovations comes with an industry-leading 3-year unconditional replacement warranty and is available in multiple models. Retail prices for the Safe Ride(TM) system start at $179.99.
