This is for a headlight/taillight combo. Uses its own rechargeable batteries,not the onboard battery. Even the lowest setting on this $13 light is brighter than the light that is on mine.

Don't forget the Tesla emblem! Where did you buy that? I love it!

Looks great! How much did you spend overall? Would you mind itemizing prices?--It would be a big help for us XP owners!

Here you go for the cost breakdown. I'm also adding a few more items which I did not mention earlier.
Some of the items are from my road bike (bought them a few years ago, don't remember how much they were).
1. Blackburn Front Rack ($45)
2. Suntour SP12 NCX Suspension Seatpost ($105)
3. Cloud 9 Saddle (from my road bike)
4. Cygolite Front Light (from my road bike)
5. Bike Tail Light with Turn Signal - Wireless Remote ($28)
6. Electric Horn (from my road bike)
7. Shimano Pedals (from my road bike)
8. SC Riser Mountain Handle Bar ($35)
9. Handle Bar Grips ($20)
10. Water bottle holder ($8 for a pair)
11. 3D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap ($8)
12. Tesla Emblem ($6)
13. 1 inch Metal Cable Clamp ($11) - you'll need these to mount the front rack to your fork
If you add these all up, the overall cost of my modified XP version is still reasonable considering the base price of the XP.

Thanks for putting all that info together! I like the idea of getting a turn signal--I hate using hand signals.

Debating between the Suntour and CaneCreek ThudBuster suspension seat posts. Anyone have experience with these? Also does anyone know what diameter seat post the bike is?
The diameters vary a bit, but you should be able to get the diameter from your bike brand's website. Or you can measure it. Also your bike shop could measure it too.

Take a look at the Satori... highly rated and available in 30.9mm and 31.6mm for $59
I have the Suntour NCX like a lot of people on this post have and I love it, can't say anything about the ThudBuster have no experience with them, but some people here have them and really like them also. The size that Lectric claims is 31.8mm, but the 31.6mm fits just fine.

The Satori looks good and comes in at a good price. However, me being tall, I feel I would need longer than the 350mm length the Satori comes in.Take a look at the Satori... highly rated and available in 30.9mm and 31.6mm for $59

I got this bike stand for my bike. I don't know if I would recommend this exact one as it's not quite heavy enough to not move when you're putting the bike into it so you have to kind of pick up the front end and help it over a little , but once in, it's plenty sturdy enough to keep it in place. Other than that, Its a nice bike stand.
