I am doing GCSE Product Design and have chosen to make a bike indicator as my product. I am currently in the process of taking in stakeholder requirements so I would be very grateful if I could receive some feedback below this post! 
I already have some requirements so I will list them below to give you an idea:
Thank you for your time!
I already have some requirements so I will list them below to give you an idea:
- Flashing lights need to be seen from all angles so all surrounding cars can be alerted of the bikes direction
- Materials that are used need to be waterproof and easy to maintain and the whole product needs to be shockproof and put together with rustproof screws if they are needed
- The handlebar lights can’t stick out too far but the indicator needs to be big enough so vehicles can see them from a distance
- The indicator lights need to be amber so car drivers can instantly acknowledge them as indicators
- The buttons or switches to indicate should be easily accessible so the cyclist can focus on the road
Thank you for your time!
I didn't know what an "indicator" was, either.
In the USA, we rarely use that word, and I'd guess something like this. That's why there's all the indicator jokes in this thread.
We call it a "turn signal" instead.

These school design requests usually don't work on this forum. The project is often not specific enough, not practical, or is similar to existing products.
