Good lighting for city bike
As city lights, a good set that gives enough light for long enough. If you cycle a bit further and on dark roads, the battery life is not sufficient. The lower settings do not give enough light on these roads so you really have max 1 hour (In practice even less especially with cold weather). Also not a fan of the way of charging. You plug the whole light into a usb slot, so not with a cable. Rear light was more ok if it wasn't for the fact that after 1 year of use, the button no longer worked for me. In the end, because of the battery of the front light, I already find set not recommended for road bikes. For your city bike I can recommend it despite the way of charging because the lower light modes are good enough here.

Good lights, bad battery
Does what it is supposed to do: see and be seen. The lights themselves work well and are easy to mount. USB charging is also convenient, no hassle with cables. I do find the lights' battery drains really quickly, though. After 40 minutes on the highest setting, the battery is as good as empty. So very irritating when you come home from work in the dark.

Seeing and being seen
Excellent lights! Not only are you seen, but you can see enough yourself.
