“I dont stop cycling just because it gets dark early from fall to spring. The ampp800 is incredibly bright for all the dark country roads I ride.
I actually use it on top of my helmet and use my other older cateye headlight (volt800) on my handle. Not only do they create daylight on dark roads, I ride in the rain and snow(when it's not sticking to the road) and have no problems.
Lastly, their customer care is fantastic. I had a question and the cateye rep replied very quickly and resolved the issue.
If your considering purchasing a cateye product, don't hesitate, your safety depends on it.”
“I really love my cateye and I bought that for my grand nephew as a Christmas present just got into biking and I just was giving him some upgrades for the bike. I already know he’s gonna love it he loves biking.”
“Ordered a Padrone for the wife ahead of an anniversary road trip. It arrived in a damaged box, with over 100 miles on the odometer and a couple of scratches on the case. WTF? After repeated emails, Cateye shipped a new Padrone, but after our trip. This is my fourth purchase from the company over the past few years.
Thanks for nothing.”
“This was a replacement for one that was damaged, so obviously I like the product.
However, your directions pretty much suck....and based on the comments I saw when looking for a u-tube video to help, I'm not alone in that assessment. Mounting & installation are straight forward, but programing with the buttons is confusing and using a phone isn't much better. I'm 73, so what may be what is intuitive for someone younger isn't for me. After a lot of trial and error, and a fair amount of frustration, I got it where I wanted it. It could have been easier with clearly written sequential instructions that were in print large enough to read. For the record, I have a technical background in aviation and I've seen complicated instructions for commercial airline navigation systems that were better written.”
“I spoke with a representative of Cateye with a problem I had with my Cateye 9 Velo which was showing me riding 30 mph when I can't do nearly that on my best day ever. They suggested I get a new sensor. I did and have had no problems since installing the new sensor. Thanks, Cateye!”
“I sent a defective Cateye Padrone computer for repair/replacement within the warranty period to the address shown on the instructions included with the unit. It was returned to me, marked 'Refused, Return to Sender.'”
“Purchased several CatEye lights and a couple of computers in the past. The products performed as expected. I had a couple of questions which were answered answered promptly and professionally.”
“Works exactly like my old Schwinn speedometer. A simple, minimalist, economy speedometer. Does what it should do. Very visible screen even in bright sunlight.”
“I had an issue with the Cateye product and received a 2 line response back, that made no sense to me. I have reported this before. I also had several other questions on my inquiry that were ignored.
I can never get anybody on your phone, which is ok, but the direction on my Cateye GPS matter was negligent. I am going to take it to a bike shop to complete the installation.”
