@Bob RN I don't know. It's more than twice as bright as a regular ebike headlight, and I haven't taken it apart to see how that works. There might be an integrated upscaling inverter inside the housing as it is large enough to accommodate one. I'm just guessing though. If you're really curious you could probably ask RadRover customer service, since they are selling this light as OEM on their Radrunner Plus - there might even be the answers you seek on that sister forum. We have not experienced any controller burn-out, or display flicker on the Lectric, and at night, our death anxiety vastly exceeds any range anxiety, since we are never going more than 20 miles.
@Bob RN I asked Rad for power draw stats for their Premium Headlight, and sadly, it seems to be a corporate secret they can't share. If we openly speculate, using published stats for Supernova M99, which seems to be a comparable 500 lumen cat-eye type bike headlight, the Supernova draws 16 Watts, which they equate to 48Wh. The Lectric rear hub motor at full power assist has peak output of 500 (800+ peak, class 3 setting) Watts. The OEM Lectric battery is 48v 10.4Ah Li-Ion LG (18650 cells). If 48v x 10.4Ah = 499.2 Wh, then the Rad Premium Headlight at 48Wh might reduce full Power Assisted range by at least 10% Depending on length of commute, terrain etc, that may or may not matter, and could probably be offset by physically pedalling 10% more when you switch it on at night. For our shorter trips under 20 miles, it's not something we are going to worry about. I'll try to remember to take some nighttime beam pics, to show side by side the difference. Pretty easy to swap back and forth, since both use the red higo two prong connector.
You slip a straw tip under from a can of compressed air.
Might require shim. Let us know how it goes.
how’d this work out? very interested in a BMX handlebar but still preserving the folding stem. most of the BmX mods seem to adopt a new head eliminating the fold ability. i’m 6’4” so i want the height f the adjustable stem but also the portability of it being foldable as an apartment dweller with limited storage options.
Do these fold? I ordered red 4mm cleats to install on my stock pedals. Will see how it works when I get my bike.Lectric XP replacement bicycle pedals larger better fit anti-skid & great grips
CXWXC Road/MTB Bike Pedals - Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Pedals
- Mountain Bike Pedal with Removable Anti-Skid Nails
They worked out perfect...I'll have more time to ride this next week,
