My Whizzer has period correct head and tail lights so, I would like to power them. I temporarily wired up the lights using a 5 cell Nimh battery to see how they look and they look very nice lit up!
The Nimh battery is 2100mah and only holds to 6 volts for about 1/2 hour or so. I have one of the "rub the wheel generators" and was thinking I could just add a diode on the positive side from the generator so that it could charge the battery when riding fast enough. I'll have to see how it works out.
Does anybody have pics or videos of vintage whizzers with the 6 volt lights lit up? Any advise on setting up the 6 volt lights?
