Keep your foot level, skim it across rough asphalt, and the flint throws a trail of real sparks behind you. Nothing to charge, nothing to fill, nothing electronic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same idea as the flint in a lighter. Scraped across a rough surface, it sheds tiny particles that burn as they fly off, and that is the spark. The rougher and drier the asphalt, the longer the trail. After dark it is the shot everyone films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStretch the strap over the front of your boot or sneaker so the plate sits flat under the toe, then press the band down so it grips. It goes on by hand. No glue, no drilling, nothing screwed into your boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting a good trail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoot level, light contact. Both flints should meet the road flat; point your toe down and only the tips catch. Rough, dry asphalt throws the most. Smooth concrete, polished floors and wet roads throw far less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe flints\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour flint rods per kit, two to fit and two spare, so a 2-kit bundle is eight and a 3-kit bundle is twelve. They wear down as you use them, and how fast depends on the road and how hard you press, so we are not going to invent a number. The flints sit under metal clips on the plate: lift the clips, slide a new flint in, press them back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying it for a rider?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no size to guess. The strap stretches to fit most boots and sneakers, and it arrives ready to go. One kit fits one boot; two covers both feet, or you and a riding buddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRide smart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose sparks are hot enough to start a fire. Never use it near fuel, at a gas station, on dry grass or anywhere under a fire ban. Keep it for clear roads with nobody behind you, keep your speed down, and wear proper boots and a helmet. It is not for use in traffic, and some places do not allow it on public roads at all, so check where you ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe spark guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf it does not throw sparks on rough, dry asphalt, tell us within 30 days and we refund you, used or not.
