2. Wiring Connections

The kit is designed for DIY installation and requires careful wiring. Refer to the diagram below for typical connections. The main power input supports 36V to 72V systems.

Figure 5: Wiring schematic. Connect the Red wire to 24-72V power supply (+), Black wire to GND (-), and Yellow wire to the Brake signal (-).

• Power Connection: Connect the main power cable from the light kit to your e-bike's battery output. Ensure the voltage matches the kit's compatibility (36V-72V). The red wire is typically positive (+), and the black wire is negative (GND).
• Brake Signal: Connect the yellow wire from the taillight to your e-bike's brake lever sensor or controller's brake signal input. This enables the brake light function.
• Component Connections: Connect the headlight, taillight, and turn signals to the main wiring harness using the provided connectors. Ensure all connections are firm and properly seated.
• Control Switch Connection: Connect the handlebar control switch to the main harness.

After all connections are made, secure any loose wires with zip ties and ensure they do not interfere with moving parts of the bike.
