** NEW industrial-style WEATHERPROOF IP68 version, 12v-24v **

** NOW BACK IN STOCK **

NEW & improved industrial version, of our popular PAWS Pedestrian Alert Warning System that sold out previously. Mount this new version externally (e.g. under your bumper). Also known as an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS).

The Weatherproof Pedestrian Alert Warning System (W-PAWS), is designed to be triggered either by reverse gear selection, or by a manual +ve trigger.

--- Looking for the multi-tone version of PAWS? Visit the original PAWS product page ---

Once triggered, W-PAWS will play (and loop playing) your uploaded MP3 audio track, to warn pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles, that you are near.

When you first set up the W-PAWS, you connect it to your Mac or PC, and upload your own sound file via USB.

Better than white-noise, the W-PAWS units can be customised to any tone or sound you like. Even to play a music track! And if you have multiple EVs that need W-PAWS, you can put a unique sound on each vehicle, to help pedestrians distinguish the different vehicles approaching.

If beeping your car horn would be inappropriate or potentially dangerous, use W-PAWS instead!

You could use it to trigger a gentle and pedestrian friendly alert tones (such as a simple bike bell sound, to a futurist electric space-ship type tone), to warn the unsuspecting person of your presence. 

Make your Tesla, Leaf, or other EV, sound like a V8, a spaceship, or anything in between.

Not sure what sound to use? That's OK -- try out the W-PAWS with the default sound, and let us know, and we'll help you find one that does suit your vehicle / lifestyle / sound you're after!

The W-PAWS units can be installed on EVs, fork-lifts, pallet loaders, or other industrial vehicles that need to be able to alert others, to your presence.

Hook-up is easy. Plug the unit into 12-24v DC using the supplied built-in cable, and add whatever type of trigger button you like, to suit your vehicle.
