Yeah I can get you some details. This setup of mine does add a lot of external wiring, but it is only related to the lighting. I am using all motorcycle components, switches & lights.
Many thanks! Your setup sounds like exactly what I want to do. Managing the external wiring will be a major challenge, but I will figure that out when the time comes.
Yeah on wire management a guy can use poly- loom & hide most everything. You can get poly loom in different colors if a person wants to color match.
I can post some pics. But it's not a ebike. It's a gas bike with a small honda engine & gearbox.
No the hybrid side is not done. It's a straight up dinosaur sipper gas bike. I like building motorbikes, & just joined this community. I'm waiting on my ebike yet. It was a pre-order.Did I read that correctly? I think you are the first person I have met who owns a true hybrid: a gas-powered e-bike!
Yes if you run a small 12v battery you can have a stand alone lighting kit. That does not effect the ebike side of the wiring. No cutting or splicing on the factory ebike wiring harness.Now I understand. Still...you are definitely proficient in the DIY part, much better than I. I have not purchased my long-term e-bike yet nor any accessories (I have a starter fat e-bike for now). If I can learn from you, I will map out an electrical diagram that accurately details all the connections and connectors needed to connect a 2nd battery that will power only the lighting accessories. The DC-to-DC converter to drop the voltage is an important piece I am learning about today. If we can use motorcycle lights, turning signals, etc., then the number of accessories available for an e-bike quadrupled.
Yes. I have an integrated headlight that came with the bike. But I do not plan on making any improvements to what I own now. In early 2024 I will be buying my dream bike, then adding a motor and battery, then adding a 2nd battery (if possible) for powering the following:
