didn't Frank Thomas used to do a wiper blade that you stuck your finger in that would be a damn sight lighter and cheaper?

That can't be safe! Straight through someone's windscreen!

If it rains I just ride quicker so it blows the rain off. :-)

Given that it’s only powered by 4 x AA batteries I'd like to see it try and move that blade/arm if you were doing any sort of speed!

You can still get the wiper blade you put on your finger and they're great until you get enough speed for the rain to bead off

I got one free a couple of years back (The one you slide onto your finger) with a yellow vest in a Highways Agency safety pack. Probably still have it somewhere: wonder if it works?

Frank Thomas aqua gloves used to have a blade built into the thumb used to use them in my old courier days.

Oh dear ....... !!!!
Technology exceeds common sense, and by some considerable margin.
Gloves with a chamois-covered index finger work well and don't make you look daft either.....for much less money.

I'm guessing the arm must be spring loaded? Every time you lift the visor it'll push the wiper away, so I think you'll have to switch the wiper off before you can lift it anyway. Crap idea... can't see the 4 AA batteries lasting five minutes.

And speed rated for 100K .. I find my visor clears itself around that speed anyway

Would probably have got a better response from the dragons if he invented an automatic arse wiper
