Not sure how legal this is in most places. I think colored lighting on the rodas is generally banned in most states.

Laws for lights on bicycles are generally separate from laws for lights on motorized vehicles. For instance, in California, the law requires 5-9 reflectors and a white headlight, but only disallows a blue light. Any light of any kind other than blue is allowed.

I expect/hope that if so, any attempt to prosecute would result in wide media coverage/negative publicity for the prosecutor. The case would be dropped, and/or the product would be made legal - by adjustment of the law and/or the Nori.
