Rad Modifications / RADMini Fatbike Light Upgrade.
June 17, 2020, 07:05:53 PM
I find that the Rad Mini Stock headlight wasn't bright enough so I had upgraded it with 2 automobile flood lights using the stock brackets for the top and customized the bottom one that is above the front fender. For the power source I did not want to use the factory battery because I would like that power source for bike itself and decided to go with an Makita 18 volt battery with a 3D printed female power adapter. Painted it all black and using pieces of 2mm rubber sheets as liners for the 1/2 EMT conduit mounts for a little shock Resistance and preventing scratches to the read basket also lock nuts to hold them in place. Still in progress and will try to update it soon. I have decided to add a 19 mode police strobe tail light for some extra visibility at night and it is pretty darn bright!. The left switch is the on and off button and the right switch is the mode button which you cycle through so you can have the option on what patterns suit your needs, some of the patterns are really annoying that can blind whoever is behind you. I tried to make it clean as possible hiding all the wires on back of the frame of the bike including twisting the wires inserting them in compression wire wrap solder wires and tube shrink after like if it was factory. The rear light switches I was kinda disappointing because I wanted it to make it flushed even more with hidden switches but that would require more time and better material instead of abs plastic and the momentary switch to be black as well, red is all I had at the moment. The left is a on/off and the one on the right is a momentary switch for the 19 mode of strobe patterns.The double toggles on the handles controls the 2 front lights so you can have the option on having the fender light on alone or top alone or both on. I will try to have a night time light shot on how it looks when I get a chance. The battery run time should be around 12 hours I assume. I had it running for 6 hours and had 2 battery level life left out of 4. everything else on the bike is satin blacked out with 3M vinyl.
