Next project-Back off brake lights By vintner (Read 474 times)

I know there is no fool proof prevention for idiot drivers rear ending my scoot, but after being rear ended on the last one, I had decided that an easy and relatively inexpensive add on is the flashing brake lights from the Back-Off module. I want to add 2 LED lights a little higher on the scooter and make all the LEDs flash.

Mode one emits 3 short flashes followed by one long flash (3.5 seconds); Repeats as long as brakes are applied
Mode two emits 5 short flashes followed by a steady on light; light remains on until brakes are released.

I have checked the internet and it sees that most bikes/bikers use the mode 2 option.

From my first check of the Jetmax, it looks as this isn't going to be really easy, but I think for a couple hours work and about $50 for the LEDs and the Back Off module, it will be worth it.

I used that on a bike and it worked great. I could defininitely tell drivers behind me were more aware of me. It was a while back but I don't remember the installation being all that bad. Let us know how it shakes out. Rich

Once I figure out HOW to get to the brake lights, there will be no problem adding in the module. The Jetmax is more complex on removing the skins to get to the brake light assembly then the Jonway which took only a few screws to get to the soft underbelly (so to speak). I am not sure how to get to the back end off to get to the brake harness and to add the extra LEDs. I believe I am one of a few with this model scooter so I am not getting feedback about how to do the things to the scoot that I hope to do.

So, I will be the contributor for this model scooter. It will take me time to learn it in order to contribute to the forum about it.
