I put a formula 1 tail light / rain light on my surron ebike! Is this the best rear light upgrade for a Sur ron?? I'll pin a comment with all the parts to make this mod yourself.

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.

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.

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

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?
@logan-taylor Жыл бұрын
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?

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.

Hi ! Did you use the 3M tape ir the bracket to install the tail light on the bike ?

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?
@BenHicksPhoto Жыл бұрын
For the brake wire what do I do w red/black wire
@logan-taylor Жыл бұрын
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.
@logan-taylor Жыл бұрын
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!

Thank you! It’s confusing because I also have the grit shift 3 way switch on. Really appreciate the help!

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
@logan-taylor Жыл бұрын
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
