FINALLY!! i have been searching for a helpful bike lighting video for a couple weeks now, yours is by far the best and most helpful for someone with near zero electrical knowledge. Thank you!
you could repost this with a different voiceover and title as i believe it would be helpful for ANY E-Bike/Scooter builder
Glad it helped!
I'm starting a retro moped restoration and converting it into an ebike. This video has been immensely helpful, thank you! !
Nice, that's a fun project!
Great video. i did something similar and you literally did everything I did, in the same order lol. The only thing I did differently was used a Octocouple relay to interface the ebrake signal with the 12v source and the 12v rear brake light.
Nice work! Thank you for sharing! 👍
love it. I kinda want to customize it a bit though, I think I’ll ditch the DRLs and use a separate 12V battery for everything.
Yeah, I plan to use a separate 12v battery for my lighting install. I don't wanna give the game away just yet, but I have found quite a novel solution.
Sounds good! Yeah, there's so many ways to customize to your liking. Just wanted to show the basics of how to group everything. This is the portable 12v battery I used in the video amzn.to/3gwPcGK
Nice! I was using the TalentCell battery for testing: amzn.to/3gwPcGK
@@RunPlayBack and I’m very grateful for this. I wanted to have a full lighting kit for the bike but I didn’t want to mess it up
Well done! Love watching others customize their bikes too👏👏👏
Thank you! Same here! Looks like you've done some interesting mods as well. Keep it up! 👍
@@RunPlayBack I just took my bike completely apart in my livingroom to mod for the winter. New QS205 V3ti 650 turn 5t motor, it’s at a motorcycle shop as we speak getting laced with powder coated stainless steel 8ga spokes on my 26in anodized rim. New Shimano Ice Tech floating rotor, rotar bolts, tire, rim liner, Kevlar tire liner, new Honda seat, turn signals, new Tron wheel lights, new motorcycle headlight/horn/turn signal switch, etc. It’s going to be a whole new bike. 💸💸💸
@@clemonsjoey That sounds amazing! Can't wait to check it out!
Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Finally found the guide I was looking for
Enjoy!
Literally the only ebike guide on TH-cam that I can find. Great job. Thanks! The brake light control switches are the most challenging part.
Hey 😃 I Just Happened to Find Your Video On Wiring And Found It to be Very Helpful. Being that I'm Getting Ready to Start My Own Project, I Can Use All The Help I Can get. 🙂👍🏾 You did a Great Job On The Wiring Process, One Of The Best I've Seen. But Instead of a Bike I'll Be Wiring My Electric Scooter. Some Of the Things You Explained, I See I Was Right On Point With You On, So It's Good to Know that I Was Moving In the Right Direction. So Thank You and You Just Pick Up a New Subscriber. 🙂👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏾🛴🛴🛴🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That's awesome! Happy to help! 🙏🙏🙏
Just got my Super 73rx and really want to add lighting, live in NY and traffic here is a bit hectic, definitely need to be visible at night. This was really helpful but intimidating as I know nothing about electrical wiring lol. Wish there was ebike stores here that offer this service.
Try hitting up instagram.com/datshopnyc They specialize in this kind of custom lighting for high performance ebikes.
Thank u! Amazing work, appreciate the time you put into this.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it helps others build their own lighting systems!
Look sick bruh 👍👍too bad i'm kinda fool on cable or wire. Appreciated it ✌
Glad to help!
Awesome work! I am planning to do something likely on my Rad mini 4 maybe a little simpler. Your videos are very inspiring. 😎👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Get a set of breaks handles with the built in switch and tied it in to high break and powered the break light through the high imput and used the low input for tail light. it would save a bit of wiring.
THANK YOU!!!! God bless!
If you are going to do something you might as well do it right and you are always doing it right!
Haha thanks bro. Not sure if its right or even the best way to rig this. But it works! 😂
@@RunPlayBack absolutely works and much better than I would have done🤣
😁😁 like a human torso head, both hand, both leg and tail ( break light ) 👍👍👍
for the brakes look for Ebike Brake Cutoffs they make them for hydraulic and cable brake systems but they have the switches already integrated and ready to go there normally used for ebikes to shut off the motor when braking but should work fine for what you need
Yes definitely! We actually upgraded to Magura MT7e's with the built in switch.
@@RunPlayBack do you have the link for this please ?
That Ebike ride was fun!!
Hey Miles! Yes it was fun, let's do it again! 😃
I would really love your input -
I'm stuck as I'm trying to use my stock brakes.
I thought it would be fairly easy to tie into the wires already connected there but I'm seeing it's not that simple
Did you in your Z1 adventures ever come up with a pin out slash color code for the front wiring harness?
Ideally I'd like to use the OG throttle as well if I can just to save a few dollars right now.
If you could please get back with me when you have a chance
I appreciate you and your content 🙌
I can see how this could be really fun to do for some ppl, but really these bikes should come with lights standard.
I agree!
And they shouldn’t be 20” off the ground. 40” minimum so cars can actually see them
YO YO, my brotha. Great video. Can I ask you what the name of the plug that goes into 12 volt battery ? I want to connect one or two whip lights that usually go on ATVS. To a RadPower Radrunner 1 electric bike. It should be easy wiring connection red positive, black negative and what do the yellow and other black wire go to? If you all have time I would appreciate your advice. And if you have link to buy plug that goes into 12 volt battery.
A bit late to the party, but, just an FYI if you do this again. If your break switches go to ground when breaking you can use a mosfet being triggered to switch your break light rather than using exposed switches. Will also cut down on the amount of wires. Nice tutorial.
Great tips thank you for sharing!
My Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max already has a brake light with the turn signals built in, but no front turn signals. I was wondering if I could splice into the existing wiring to add front signals.
Where did you connect flasher to? If my front blinkers have an internal flasher resister to make them blink, would I still be able to add a flasher to make my rear blinkers work? It’s a strip blinker with brake light and lights up red all the time, o believe the same as the one you are using
Awesome video. One clarification question on the 12v converter. Is the converter directly attached to the s73 battery, as in you split it?
you that's correct
@@RunPlayBack hate to ask dumb questions, but can you tell me where you you spliced it? Before or after the controller? Also did you fuse it? Photo helps too if possible but understand it's inconvenient. Thanks.
@@josephchan7040 sorry don't have access to the build at the moment but basically I made an XT60 splitter off the battery. XT60 to battery and positive and negative wires spliced into 12v step down. I didn't fuse it but you can if you want.
Hey, great video! Do you know if you are able to use the existing controller/12v step down on the RX for this kind of set up. Looking to add 4 turn signals to the existing headlight and brake light system.
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't own an RX so I'm not sure if the 12v step down could work. But if you can tap into it I don't see why not!
Im trying this on my lectric xp 3.0. I wanna be visible at night and refuse to use removable lights. Youre right though ,this is an intense project for a novice.
am wondering am going to be buying a Ace X Demon here in Australia, (similar to the Aerial Rider Grizzly) if the same setup here could be done on that bike as well?
If so I would be wondering if it would need to be registered for the road, or is it still an e-bike electric bicycle
Hi, thanks for watching! You would have to check your local region laws regarding legality. The AR Grizzly has dual 1000w motors, it can be ridden in class 2/3 modes, but I'm not familiar with how Australia governs ebikes. To answer your other question, yes you can run the same setup for the lights, the concept is the same.
Wow, i do almost the same. But relay for turn lights is shit, i want find another. Very good video.
Nice thank you! Let me know if you find a better relay!
What are good rechargeable rear lights with turn signals for both, day and night use?
These seem to be popular for those who don't want to deal with all the wiring - amzn.to/3Djw7SB
@@RunPlayBack Thanks. They look a lot better than the other ones I was looking at. It would be nice to find something like motorcycle rear lights. I want people to be able to see the signals during the day too.
So if my bike has a break light that turns on when I break could I just parallel off that connection instead of the micro switches?
Yes that's correct! I've done that with my Magura MT7e's which have brake sensor wires.
Hey do you think you could build me a kit for the razor rsf650. But its upgraded to 72v 5000w motor. Id add 12v battery to run the lights. I really need your help since I have no idea about wiring . I'll buy it if you can do it
Hey! Actually there is someone who specializes in custom lighting kits. Trying contacting Alvin Bows at DatShopNYC. He works on all kinds of ebikes from Onyx, Surron, Super73 etc. I think he may be the best person for this kind of work as I'm not a vendor. instagram.com/datshopnyc
@@RunPlayBack thanks my man 👍👍👍👍
Is it possible to do this setup without using a DC-DC converter? Or slightly similar by wiring the lights and switches in series?
Hi, not exactly sure what you mean. If you use 48v switches and lights, then there is no need for a DC-DC stepdown. 12v lights and switches are super common and have a wide variety of choices, that is why most folks would prefer to install a DC-DC stepdown, or run a separate external 12v battery.
@@RunPlayBack I would like to try do it without adding the extra dc-dc converter as it's another piece to secure to the bike.
I've seen that you for a 48v battery you could run 4 X 12v lights in a series circuit so that it adds up to 48v without the need for the step down converter.
Have you done anything similar? I liked the setup you did on the Sur-On Bike
You could 3d print a housing for the microswitch
No need for relays (like light relays/horn relays)?
Hey thanks 4 this video, how can I connect the controller battery with the 12v converter
We used an XT-60 splitter amzn.to/3tXRllo
Looks good
Thanks Moses!
What do you mean by "the original controller is too small"? You mean the power of the motor is bigger than the controller's ability? so upgrading to the one with bigger current limiting can make the controller cooler?
Sorry it's been awhile since I made this. Do you know where exactly in the video I said that?
@@RunPlayBack You upgraded the original controller to a new one and said the old one is easily getting warm.
@@RunPlayBack from 23:58 so you upgrade the controller to a bigger one with more mosfets?
@@Michael-sc7yt oh okay..that's not the controller, it's a 12v step down converter that's connecting directly to the battery and converting the voltage to 12v. The 12v step down I have listed in the description can handle a 72v battery. It has nothing to do with the motor or the ebike's controller.
Nice setup
Glad you think so!
I've pretty much ordered everything you listed on hopes for a same/similar setup. I have the same light switch, relay, & led strips. With the DRL lights of the strip on, the flasher relay does nothing but constantly light. If the DRL isn't on, the flasher works as expected. Not sure what I'm doing different. Do you flashers/turn signals work if the DRL lights of the strips are on?
It should work if wired correctly (DRL and blinkers). If DRL is on, and say left blinker is enabled, then the left blinkers should flash amber, when the blinker is disabled, then it should return to DRL mode. You should double check that all connections are solid, and make sure you don't have any shorts (bare wires that are not supposed to be touching), and also make sure that ground/return connections are isolated. GL!
Hi! for the turn signal switch, does the turn signal cancel when you press the button or do you have to move it back to the center position to turn off.
You have to move it back to center
Great vids……can’t find link to cheat sheet. Would be super useful thanks
Thanks! The cheat sheet is written in the description.
Are the turn signals designed to flash several times every time you hit the brakes or is that what happens when you add the flasher relay? I like how it really let's the ppl behind you know you're braking.
Only the signals are attached to the flasher relay. I think you could also do a flasher relay on the brake light but it might really be street legal. You can also control the speed of the flash with the relay.
Very impressive. Good work! :)
Thanks! I hope it was helpful!
@@RunPlayBack definitely! I think I will have to learn a bit more before getting to this project through because I've never done electric work and that's a lot of cables 😁 buts definitely I would like to get to the point where I feel comfortable following through this project.
@@f0ca94 Yeah it can seem like a lot but my best advice is to take it slow. It's not really a one day project. It's best to take a few days to wrap your head around all the wiring and to test all your connections. And when you do it once you can pretty much apply it to any other bike.
The wire size guide says that I can run my entire system on the 18AWG wiring through the multiswitch I have with no relays except the flasher. Calculated current draw is 72W @ 12VDC (6A momentary when horn is on) an 45W @ 12VDC (3.75A) nominal with every draw except high beam and horn on (I plan on not using high beam). Rated stranded copper is up to 9A. I will be fused at either 10A or 7.5A. Does that all sound correct? Thanks!
That should be fine. The current draw from the horn is only momentary, so there is very little concern with regards to the "proper" wire gauge for it.
Hi! At 11:12 of the video, how did you create the splitter? Thank you!
It's just a few wires - strip the ends, twist the ends together, solder together and then attach to a crimp connector
@@RunPlayBack Ok! Which ones are +ve and -ve? And should there not be 6 (3 pairs) instead of 5? Thank you!
i watched whole video, i wished you shared a wiring diagram so that i can make mine, i'm confused and don't know from where to start
Sorry, just didn't have time for that. If you look at the groupings that I placed in the description it shows you which wires to connect together. Not a diagram but if you match the colors/polarities it'll work.
@@RunPlayBack thank you, i will try that
Do you need 2 flasher relays? 1 for each side?
You just need one..it connects to the signal switch which activates the flash across all lights connected to left and right signal wires.
Great job! For the 12v step down converter, how many amps/watts did you select?
For LED lighting, the only "high" current draw is the headlight, we wouldn't go higher than 10A output from the DC-DC stepdown
can you do this with just a headlight no break or indicators
Yes, the same concepts apply, doesn't matter how many or less lights you have.
But will it hold up in the rain?
yeah it should be fine
It's lit!
haha yeah it is! super lit!
How much did the whole setup cost
Not much..probably around a $100 or something.
@@RunPlayBack cost a lot more then that now hehe
What front wheel stand is that ?
amzn.to/3vr9kjn
So where would group d and f negative wires go?
Any negative lead, should connect back to the main ground/return wire back to the power source
👍🏾
Can u make me this set up to run on my rose ave i will pay,
I wish you would have went more in depth on the flash relay. I didn't quite understand what you were talking about. Good video though
Thanks for watching! What exactly didn't you understand ?
@@RunPlayBack how the flasher relay is wired in the circuit
The flasher relay is typically wired in-line to the positive wire before it goes into the blinker switch.
@@RunPlayBack thanks man I really appreciate it I didn't even think about having it before the switch.
Does anybody know the intro song name
Can I wake you up at 3 AM and you know which switch is which?:-)
I'm awake lol :) Can you elaborate? The signal switch?
A switch installed inline interrupts the flow - usually the hot side. You state that the switch you connect positive to one and negative to the other - this is absolutely wrong. see at: 4:23.
You're correct, that's a good catch!
WHEN IS THE NEXT VID
This week!
Looks complicated also might not conform to individual countries regulations.
Okay?
Not "sole--dur,". . . "saw-dur"
Depends on if your British or American. Where you from?
@@RunPlayBack U.S. Wow. . I had no idea. Everyone outside of America says "sold-rrr?" Why we always gotta be different. lol
@@protonspring5244 Hah yeah..and I don't know why I pronounce it the British way. Maybe I watched some tutorial from the UK or something and it just stuck with me.
too much filthy presentation. There are easier way(s)..... too bad
Any chance you could tell me how to install led turn signal strips on my onyx side panels? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RWBWT55/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i just can't tell which color wire is for which. i'm thinking once i know that i can just wire tap into it.
