My first e-bike!

I just got the Volcon Brat e-bike. It's a 750 watt, 20mph, class 2 e-bike. I replaced the headlight with a rechargeable light bar so that it won't drain the battery. Added a front plate to hide the wires and stuff. Added reflective rim tape on the wheels. Added a left side mirror. Added an underglow beneath the seat. Ebikes are so much better than cars!

I love it. Lighting it way up is cheap. COB LED tape strips are $10 and plug into a standard power bank. You can even get a usb splitter and do the bike.

That looks sick. I just bought some cob led strips and a small power bank to do this haha.

That's awesome! I'm installing RGB lights with Remote this winter and custom wrap.

Why do we all do that? It was almost the first picture I took.

Because it shows you drove somewhere you normally wouldn’t go

u/EASTBAYEBIKE 4h ago

Here are the ones I put on my Zooz. It’s definitely not something I can afford to put on all my bikes though.
