Houdy from West Aussie

[Simmo]

Hi, I'm an ambitious 78 year old in Carnarvon North West Australia, who has just bought a "3 Wheel Monsterpro" Electric bike. It is a 48 volt setup but, I was wondering if somebody can tell me if the headlight is 12 volt, or if 12 volts is available somewhere on it. The reason I ask is I would like to set up a spare Dasboard Camera on the handlebars. Thanks in advance. Simmo.

Gday simmo, if you don't have your own multimeter, perhaps just drop into one of the caravan parks that are filling up with grey nomads each night? At the very least, you'd have a horde of women thanking you for distracting their husbands for a few hours as they finally get to play with their electric testing equipment

Sorry for the tone, but we had a horrible night in one of those parks being lectured at by mr merc about how our 4x4 camper trailer was a third class touring option...and clearly we were new at the game because we set up the guy ropes wrong.....despite having just coped with 40 knt winds at francis peron.....he felt sorry for us etc etc....carnarvon is a wonderfull area but I can't even read the name without bursting out in laughter

Enjoy your trike

Yes PDoz we came to this caravan park (Plantation C/Van Pk) for 2 nights 20 years ago, and after 25 years in the gold mining business and at 59 years didn't expect to get a job. Anyway I rang Dampier Salt a RIO company and jagged a job and ended up a maintainence fitter on the monsterous dredge that mined Gypsum. WOW thats a mouthfull considering my original question. Now back to the subject, yes I have a multi-meter but, just thought I would ask the question before I start braking into cable tubes etc.

There is probably no 12v anywhere as it is not a common voltage for any of the functions of an eBike. But you can use one of these:

Splice the red +/black - into your bikes system red/black, the yellow +/black - is now 12v and ready for your dash cam.
