Compact Air Horn For Motorcycles And Scooters Designed To Fit In Tight Spaces

Consumer products company, PrimeEffects, has announced the release of an upgrade to their Screaming Banshee electric air horn system. The “Shockwave” is a secondary warning system that emits a high-pitched, two-tone sound rated at 130 decibels and above. It is one third the size of the original system, making it compact enough to fit in most any available space on most any vehicle. The horn is designed specifically with motorcycles and scooters in mind, but will work for most any vehicle. The horn wires into existing vehicle horn systems and comes with the required wiring and mounting hardware.

"This horn is extremely unobtrusive, even on a scooter," says PrimeEffects CEO and founder, Philip Jepsen. "We wanted it to be small enough to fit just about anywhere, without having to make special concessions. In the design phase we knew it needed to be able to hook into the existing system, and it needed to be able to fit easily. And, of course, it needed to be loud."

The Shockwave Air Horn is 4.9 inches on its longest side and weighs 22 ounces. The horn can be wired directly into most vehicle electrical systems. It can be connected as either a secondary horn or as a stand-alone unit. When wired into the existing horn system, it is activated with a sustained press of the horn. Short taps of the horn activate the factory horn system. The Shockwave can also be set to flash the high beams when activated, adding a visual cue to the warning.

"It’s all about safety," says Mr. Jepsen. "When this horn goes off everyone in your vicinity will hear it. And when they look, if you've got it set to flash the high beams, they will see you. As small as it is, the Shockwave gives off a tremendous sound that is louder than most emergency sirens."

The Shockwave is available through PrimeEffects and on Amazon and other outlets, and comes with all needed mounting and wiring hardware. It includes a full installation PDF document with links to an installation video. The air horn has a full one year money back guarantee.
