Alright logang, as promised here are affiliate links for the parts i used so you can make this light yourself: F1 Tail Light: amzn.to/3mgy27w Waterproof connectors: amzn.to/3MqQUeF On/off switches for strobing feature: amzn.to/41cBRJr You’ll also need wire strippers, crimps, heat shrink, and a couple other basic wiring tools! Let me know if you need any help.
The yellow wire just needs momentary power to make it flash - so you need to run power from your bike to your brake sensor (which is an open circuit at rest) then the other side of your brake sensor needs to go to the yellow wire. That way, when you grab your brake, the circuit closes and you supply momentary power to the yellow wire. Does that make sense?
Adding an actual brake light to mine with high/low. No idea why this isn't a standard thing. At least my Sting R has higo 2 wire plugs, so it's easy to get up and running.
Would have liked an eloboration on how exactly you installed this and where/how you mounted it instead. I cannot find a decent place for a brake light on my Everest. Like nowhere at all to mount anything to. And wouldnt only using the front brake to stop be more prone to doing accidental stoppies? or ya know..... throwing yourself over the handlebars? Lol
Bro your glasses sit on you in a weird way. T ry to expand those little nose thingies so the frame will sit a little lower on your face - trust me it's gonna look better ;)
Legit got this today and they didn’t include the he mounting bracket. Very disappointed. The reason I bought it was for the mounting bracket. Not trying to tape a light above the rear wheel.
good eye! It’s just an amber light pod from Amazon that I wired up - very similar to Baja designs but about 1/10 the price lol. I’ll cover it in an upcoming bike update!
yep! The brake sensor acts as the momentary switch in that circuit to send voltage to yellow, which makes the light flash. but the little in-line switch can totally disconnect that circuit so the yellow can’t get any voltage - hence, it disables the flashing feature as long as the in-line is switched off.
That’s your 12v power source and common ground - they need to both go to the corresponding red/black wires on the new light so it glows constantly, but you also need to splice in the yellow wire to the red power source, run that whole brake switch circuit, and have that terminate at the yellow wire on the light. That way you can send momentary voltage from red -> yellow to make it flash!
how tall are you, im thinking about getting the ron but im 6ft2 and im scared of dropping 7k on a bike thats too small. please @ me in the replys so i get an email. much love, keep pushing out solid content
I'm about 6'3"-6'4". It definitely takes a couple adjustments (peg drops and wider riser bars are the main ergonomic changes I made) and doesn't feel like a big bike really. Kinda depends what you're looking for, I love the mountain bike size personally, but some people our height prefer the Ultra Bee.
@@logan-taylor i plan on riding on the road mainly (uber eats & door dash), maybe some light trail riding on my free time, do you think those modifications you listed along with a seat riser and a lunacycle dulux seat and adjusting the suspension to make it stiffer would make it a little more comfortable for someone thats gonna ride this thing sitting down 99% of the time? i dont plan on this thing being some 450cc monster nor do i want a huge bike as im new to "MoToRcYcLeS" but i also dont want to buy something thats more suited for a 15yo american or average chineese man(when upgraded for height). i also dont wanna look goon big chimpin' on a mini bike lol
ahaha you’ll probably be totally fine with those mods, but if you can test ride one first do it to make sure. Also, currently light bees fly under the radar, whereas ultra bees definitely look more like a dirt bike than an ebike. Other than battery range, light bee is probably better for your uses

Could you make a more in depth tutorial on how to do all the technical wiring I’ve never done this before lol
Damn bro, amazing video, but pleasw bring back the yellow font from the moto moto series when doing the '45 minutes later' edit, i loved it!
haha you got it! I love that font, i’ll see if i can remember to bring it back
Hi !
Did you use the 3M tape ir the bracket to install the tail light on the bike ?
Subscribed, very well put! Great contents!
thanks so much!!
Dude I can't make this light work properly for 3 days... Can you please explain what to do exactly with the yellow tail light wire and brake sensor?
The yellow wire just needs momentary power to make it flash - so you need to run power from your bike to your brake sensor (which is an open circuit at rest) then the other side of your brake sensor needs to go to the yellow wire. That way, when you grab your brake, the circuit closes and you supply momentary power to the yellow wire. Does that make sense?

Agreed - it’s dumb this isn’t wired into the surron to begin with. yet another thing the Sting R got right! Sick bike.

And wouldnt only using the front brake to stop be more prone to doing accidental stoppies? or ya know..... throwing yourself over the handlebars? Lol
Very nice on my next Surron I’ll do this a brake light is a must that’s for sure
do it!! Would love to see more bikes out there with it!
did you install it into the same spot as stock or did you have to do something different
Can you do a step by step on how to tap and install it??
Where did you get your wrap from?
Been waiting on some fresh surron content 😉
I got you!
Bro your glasses sit on you in a weird way. T ry to expand those little nose thingies so the frame will sit a little lower on your face - trust me it's gonna look better ;)
life changing advice
Any chance theres some new dory content coming? Weathers getting nicer here now.
yes, just haven’t had any big updates to film! She’s running great, i’ll do a big update on all the vehicles soon :)
@@logan-taylor that's great to hear, I just watched your $100 tune up video and it made me realize I need to replace my fuel filter too haha
Did you find a way to get it to flash with aftermarket brakes?
When you bought your shinko 244s did you get two of the same tire? or is the rear tire bigger?
i got both the same size! The 3.5 is too wide and interferes with the chain if i remember correctly
Legit got this today and they didn’t include the he mounting bracket. Very disappointed. The reason I bought it was for the mounting bracket. Not trying to tape a light above the rear wheel.
I see a new headlight , a lot sleeker ! What one is it?
good eye! It’s just an amber light pod from Amazon that I wired up - very similar to Baja designs but about 1/10 the price lol. I’ll cover it in an upcoming bike update!
I’m trying to understand the wiring. Yellow from the light goes directly to front brake wire and then in that line a switch is added?
For the brake wire what do I do w red/black wire
yep! The brake sensor acts as the momentary switch in that circuit to send voltage to yellow, which makes the light flash. but the little in-line switch can totally disconnect that circuit so the yellow can’t get any voltage - hence, it disables the flashing feature as long as the in-line is switched off.

That way you can send momentary voltage from red -> yellow to make it flash!
Thank you! It’s confusing because I also have the grit shift 3 way switch on. Really appreciate the help!
@@BenHicksPhoto aaaah yes that’ll make it tricky, but i bet it’ll be a clean install once you’re done!!
The legality....well as the bike is intended for offroad use only, I would say the same with the light ;)
You must be a blast at parties 😉
it's not a tale light but it's called a rain light look it up
you’re right you’re right
