Title: Wired tail lights?
Post by: massassi on November 06, 2020, 09:30:57 AM
has anyone upgraded the taillight in their bike? I'm having trouble finding something that can be wired in to the bike and brakes, isn't tiny, and (preferably) has laser lines

What is the Voltage of the tail light?

48v is the voltage of my bike, I'm sure I could use one with an inverter or something. But I'd be concerned that the signal for the brake light might not match up

You could get a tail light extension cable and wire it to the new tail light. Have you found a tail light?

I don't think it has a laser light.

i really wish some motorcycle tail lights had built in inverters, i'm not a fan of the looks on most of the ebike style ones

Love your idea. New to me.

I am not sure the laser lights are part of the tail light.

These are 3v laser line lights. Getting that from 48v down to 3v is a simple buck converter.

I was wrong. These are integrated with a tail light.  Very nice.

You can still get the 2.4v or 3v from the converter.

$5

Mine came in seven days.  The 5  LEDs can blink, chase, run, or solid. The laser lines are solid or blinking.  3 AAA's.
