i have my diy turn signal as well. i use 2 pin flasher for led i bought online. and i tap it to my 48v ebike battery with a step down voltage to 12v. I purchased a motorbike turn signal switch cheaply, left -rigt switch plus hazard switch in one and that works fine. However, my headlight has its own integrated rechargeable battery because it is 5v, but also thinking of tapping a new 12v headlight soon. And that's how everything works for my ebike. Nice video and wiring diagram 👍
Thanks Norman! Glad you enjoyed the video. I used 12V parts because of the automotive flasher, tons of options for tail lights, + the use of a 12V tool battery was attractive to me. I could keep them on separate circuits and not affect the range on my bike.
I recently brought buck converter for my 48v to install motorcycle heated grip, can you tell .e if you were able to somehow connect thr brake to the tail light from controller?? I have brake light from aliexpress but it's not bright at all
Good video. I'm building an electric motorcycle and I'm probably going to copy this. But I will keep the headlight on all the time. Why didn't you power this from the main battery?
Thanks, hope it helps! I didn't power it from the main battery to maximize range, plus I wanted to isolate the two systems in case something went wrong with a DC-DC converter ... didn't really feel like frying my lights.
Great idea but unfortunately none of the links work on Ebay or Amazon. Also, what run times did you experience? Thanks for the effort! Hope you update links
Man I just found your channel and was so excited because I bought a kaabo wolf warrior electric scooter and just needed front and rear turn signals but couldn't find any good help! I tried all your links and they dont work. Maybe you could just answer a couple questions...... if I buy 4 12v motorcycle turn signals and a electric flasher relay can I install the lights to the flasher to a toggle switch to a 12v milwaukee battery? Would it power the flashers fine without any diodes or resistors? I know very little! People are telling me motorcycle flashers that are 12v really need 13-16v's and a 12v milwaukee will not be able to light them up bright enough..... I REALLY HOPE YOU SEE THIS AND CAN HELP...... THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME FOR SAFETY REASONS! THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME!!!!!!
Hi Eddie, thanks for your comment! That is exactly how I wired my system. I'm sure in the video you can see the schematic I posted. Try and find an "electronic" flasher unit instead of a mechanical one. A mechanical flasher may not work properly with the low draw of LED turn signals. Otherwise it should work just fine just like mine! Keep in mind that cars/motorcycles have batteries too. When the car/motorcycle isn't running, the battery is around 12V, a little higher on a fully charged battery. But if you turn your turn signals on when the car/motorcycle isn't running, they still work! And they will continue to work well below the 12V when the battery starts draining. So the milwaukee battery will also continue to work with the flasher while it drains.
I would GLADLY pay you for a setup like this. I'm 65 retired and working on my 2nd ebike built. I put two torque arms on this 5000w hub motor capable of handling 72- 96v power source. I'll get parts if you'll will 2 do the labor. BTW all your links to ebay are gone Can't find page is the msg. you get. So I can't see the full title/description of the items to search elsewhere. I did download your files, did you craft all these yourself? Love the 3D imagery
Wow this is cool im wanting to wire up my motorcycle as was stripped for track so no wire loom where can i find ur printable diagram etc for me to follow towards doing lights on my bike.
I wish you would have wired into the controller or the main battery That would have been real clean and taken up less space for those of us that have very limited space to mount things ...like I can not use the Milwaukee battery since I have zero room for something that large. I could use this on a pedal bike but not my ebike.
To wire into the ebike simply replace the M12 battery in my project with a DC-DC converter. Something that will accept your maximum ebike battery voltage. Note that a "48V" battery at full charge is often higher than 48V so check your specs. DC-DC converter should step down to 12V for the accessories I used. Just tap into some power wires from your battery and that's it. Switches / wiring the rest is the same.
I had originally planned on that (there is actually a cavity in the tail light housing to hold a DIN rail type step down) , then I found that some of the step down converters from 48V to 12V were expensive. I ended up just using the tool battery as I had one laying around. If you, or anyone else were to use this system, you could obviously choose to wire and power it however you wish :)
Great video. I installed a 4-light system on my ebike - high beam x1, low beam x2, and rear x1. I use a 24 volt rechargeable battery. And I have rocker switches installed for the high and low beams. when I flip the rocker switches on, the lights function but one of the LED light indicators on the rocker switch always goes out, but the lights stay on. I'm loading too much into one of the rockers, apparently. How do regulate the voltage so that the rocker switch indicator LED stays on too? Hope u can help. /bklyn 👑
HI Amir, unfortunately I do not. You probably have to customize a few things to get it to fit your bike properly so it might be tough for me to sell something that is a true universal fit. What kind of bike do you have?

You guys make this sound so simple.
I'd like to see the system built from scratch please so I can see how to split and make connections correctly

Thanks you too!
This is kickass and inspirational.
Thank you so much! Are you going to make your own?
yes, but i intend on trying get motorcycle cluster switches to work so i can better utilize the spacing on the bars using those switches.
Love the shirt 😎🤙 rotary swap the world. Thanks for the video!
Glad you liked the video... and the shirt!
Great idea, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was just waiting for him to STAB his hand into that cordless drill with the bit sticking out!
Haven't managed to do it yet! lol
I like your idea, it seems simple and easy to understand. By the way, where can I buy the 12V battery pack and wires?
Tru dat that's the most important part

@@EmbraceMaking I fried TWO different lights bc the DC/DC converter's black wire is a 2nd output and NOT a ground!
Nice

I also cannot find the "full parts list" on your Thingiverse page. Can you point send that link to me, too?

all your links are dead, plus no link to switch ok.
Thanks for the heads up. Updated.
@@EmbraceMaking you are welcome and thank you for fixing your links :)
Thankyou for a great video....with all the light's on , how long does the battery last ?
Not sure to be honest! I haven't tested it for that long yet but those little battery packs now come in 3Ah variants so it should last hours!
Why don't just hook it up to the ebike battery with a step down?
I had originally planned on that (there is actually a cavity in the tail light housing to hold a DIN rail type step down) , then I found that some of the step down converters from 48V to 12V were expensive.

u could have use brake sensor cut of f to activate the brake light so as soon as use brake pedal motor cut off a'd brake light comes on too...
That is a good solution too :)
hey, i would love to add this to my Ebike. where can I find everything for it? most of ya links says it unavailable.
Great video.
I installed a 4-light system on my ebike - high beam x1, low beam x2, and rear x1. I use a 24 volt rechargeable battery. And I have rocker switches installed for the high and low beams.
when I flip the rocker switches on, the lights function but one of the LED light indicators on the rocker switch always goes out, but the lights stay on. I'm loading too much into one of the rockers, apparently.
How do regulate the voltage so that the rocker switch indicator LED stays on too? Hope u can help.
/bklyn 👑
Thanks Robert, are the LEDs in the switch rated for 24V ? or were they meant for 12V?
@@EmbraceMaking If they are rated for 24v, can they be used for 12v?
I want that sir how to buy and how mucth one set
Not something I sell, but I shared the design files for free!
Anyone know where to get the light module?
What is that rocker switch/turn signal switch . Link please!!!
Where can I get these at
Which thing specifically?
Hi, Do you also make every thing together for sale?
HI Amir, unfortunately I do not. You probably have to customize a few things to get it to fit your bike properly so it might be tough for me to sell something that is a true universal fit. What kind of bike do you have?
@@EmbraceMaking Hi, it's a mountain bike, even if it's not a perfect fit, that wouldn't be a problem, I can adjust it.
Would this work for and electric scooter 3200w watts
Do you need relay for turning single? I'm wondering because I I'm going to do turning single for my ebike
Yes! I actually used a regular automotive (LED) flasher relay for this
Okay thanks .
May I ask what switch did you use for this system? Thank you
Check out the round rocker switches here: www.superbrightleds.com/cat/rocker-pushbutton-remote-switches/
what type of battery and mount do you have on your cannondale?
It was a 48V pack I got from Alibaba... it's just in one of those triangle canvas packs that velcros onto the frame
Noice :3
Thank you!
What kind of run time with those lights?
I think it was about 3 hours on a M12 3.0 battery.
Can I pay you to do a build for me
Hi, and May I ask which piece on the thingiverse is the one that you connect the front light signal to the post? Thank you so much
Looks complicated also might not conform to individual countries regulations.
Can you just build me one and I'll buy it
Unfortunately I just don't have time these days to be doing projects for other people, sorry!
