A wiring harness is included. You'll need to connect the harness terminals to the battery and carefully route the coax connector end to an easy access location. I routed mine up to the handlebars. Another y cord routs thru your jacket and plugs into the gloves. The other end plugs into the prewired harness. You need to be careful when routing the harness so it doesn't rub or pinch on any moving parts. An in-line fuses is built into the harness.

They operate on your bike's battery and your engine recharges the battery while you drive, just like your car. There are two wires for the battery which hook directly up to the positive and negative terminals. Then you run the wires up to your handlebars, and I coiled the extra wire and secured it with a cable tie. Then you just plug in your gloves when you're ready to ride. Super easy - don't doubt yourself. It will be simple to put in.

They should be powered through a keyed source. If so, when the vehicle is shut off they shut off. If the switch is on when you restart the vehicle they will come back on. I put them in my daughter's truck and, so far, she is very happy with them.

I dont know if to your motorbike, but I have two of them in my Honda Varadero 125XL, and I am very happy with them. Regards.

They can be operated manually or electric. The electric switch remotes have a habit of burning up, so don't hold them down more than a second or two. Otherwise they work fine.

They are battery. Would be nice though . . . although a would be thief could simply pull cord and realize there is no power and proceed with plan

You cant fix them they are cheap very cheap waste of money ,they need a AA battery system instead of AAA. No power at all.

I believe you're right. I connected them to battery with a seperate switch so that I can turn it on/off whenever I want. Otherwise, it's controlled by the headlight.

I am not sure but they either take AA (most likely) or AAA. Yes, they can be used with battery only, why else would they have the battery option? As for how long, they lasted quite a while for us.

Hi Bill,Yes, these can definitely be used to operate a electric scooter. ~ Lexie

I don't own a motorcycle, but I can tell you this. I would imagine with the size of them they would mount easily somewhere on a bike, and they sound great. Just remember they are not at all waterproof...

Depends on how you wire them up. Most people wire them up so that when ever your ignition switch is on, so are the lights but others like them to stay on (and drain the battery) when the bike is turned off so then you have to wire them directly to the battery or install the toggle switch which comes with them. So it all depends on your preference.

I have not found a repair shop that can fix the bike's electric motor or associated components. However any bike shop can fix everything else. I have had flat tires front and rear repaired. On another brand of electric bike the local shop fixed the front stem that froze up. I have had two of these bikes which I mistreat badly by riding them on salt water beaches, Sandy trails, and carrying them around in snow storms on a 4 bike rack. It is easy to brake wires while transporting them. When the electrical components break I buy parts on line at electricscooterparts.com They have a nice diagram for a controller similar to the one used on this bike. It is a brushless 250w motor. I really like the bike for its power, long life LIPo battery, finish, adjustable handlebars, and low rolling friction as compared to other bikes. Just do not expect much help from the seller. This is why the price is low.

You can use them but they won't last very long, it's best to use deep cycle batteries that can be discharged many times, I personally use 6 volt batteries in series to get 12 volts. The more you have the better.

They take rechargeable AA. Not that it matters. I replaced them thinking cheap factory batteries might be the issue. Nope. The units in my opinion are just junk, plain and simple.
