I'm so close to having my first motored bicycle, but I need to resolve this issue before I take it to the road.
There's those cheap China **** brake lights available on Amazon and ebay that appear by all accounts to be utter ****, so I don't wanna throw money away like that. Then I found the brake lever with switch over at Electric Scooter Parts, and figure that is what I need along with the requisite battery, wiring, and brake/tail light at the back.
However, electrical isn't exactly my strong suit. Therefore, I need to turn to the wiring gurus here and ask how I would wire these two items (switch and brake light) into the mix. Is it as easy as 12 volt battery-->one end of switch wiring-->other end of switch wiring-->brake light? Obviously I will in time also have a head light and signal lights in sequence in there, but is it really that easy?
Thanks in advance for the help. The engine arrives in two days, and I wanna have this baby rolling soon.
