6V lighting solution

Oh yes, the electric start will be joyous fun. I'll spend hours in the garage hitting the starter button; completely abandoning my girlfriend for the duration of the evening.

Standing on the street corner with the backside cut out of a set of leather pants could be somewhat drafty and pose a few issues for family and friends, should they discover how i make my second income stream for special projects, but when you want electric start, with no honest method of paying for it, you have to lower your morality into the gutter.

At the end of the day (and after you've spent 3 weeks burning through every shred of moral righteousness to acquire "must have", mechanised bicycle accessories) the Catholic Church is always there to welcome sinners into their flock, and if that fails, you can bank on the welcoming arms of Scientology as a backup plan to restore your moral credentials; just in time for the next "must have" item - an electronic ignition system with weatherproof digital display and selectable, externally adjustable advance curves, for dual spark plug cylinder heads.

I think Grubee already came up with the idea of an electric start a few years ago, but I think it was just Vaporware, doctored in photoshop, so everyone would drool for hours end.

Just as Grubee did, I can do the same with a Staton gearbox and make everyone envious and wildly mad to want one yesterday, albeit Grubee probably didn't use Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop, but just sat the darn thing right next to the engine and snapped away.

But does it have the capability to generate 5 amps; allowing remote use of an optional 8 amp lithium battery with 12 volt cigarette lighter style power outlet socket powering 12 volt appliances, should you ever need a 12 volt power supply to run a lap-top, or GPS device or recharge your cell phone, or run an electric air pump or heated clothing or even a 12 volt car kettle to make a decent cup of coffee on a long journey.

Another issue that makes the Grubee electric start useless, is the length of the pull start/electric start system, which would most likely interfere with pedal crank arm movement, not to mention getting damaged any time the bike were to fall on the left hand side, especially if moving.

Even if you could purchase the Grubee design, you still get what you pay for and the Grubee electric start is isn't worth a crumpet".

Oh yes, and when i say droll for hours, i mean drool for hours because you can be transfixed, scrolling through the info coming out of the handle bar mounted weatherproof digital display, showing charge current, discharge current, battery charge, battery discharge rate, time to full charge.

Did the Grubee system do that!!!

Don't care, this is vaporware as far as I'm concerned.

If you haven't used the products I'm referring to then don't post, I don't care about your spam magic 12v generator because it doesn't exist. I DO care about the products I posted with questions about, if this forum is full of AD trolls I'll just go use another one.

Arrivederci monsieur.

I'll send you a link to my installation tutorial after it's bolted onto my bike, sans magic and vapourware.

Wish you all the best on a different forum.
