    LEDs ain't got shit on ELwire

    Taped some on the KR-E today, have to figure out a more permanent solution, ideal one which doesn't involve gluing different panels to the same bit of wire...

    Its a pity the clips (or whatever it is holding it on) aren't transparent.

    Deliberate choice of black tape, if I went with clear there would be less motivation to do it properly!

    Nah, I second the question. Do they increase your visibility at night significantly? They're not to my taste but each to their own. Is it just one continuous bit of wire?

    Dunno about the night, thing, haven't got the headlight sorted yet so not really that visible anyway. I just think it is cool tech, and fits the electric-bike-ness well too.

    Yeah it was kind of a moot question. Styling is an individual thing. Could also be for increased visibility. But neither reasons are good enough for me to put similar onto my bike.

    Ah didn't realise it was an 'e' bike. Makes it a bit more relevant now.

    Yeh, I wouldn't be putting that shit on if it was still a 2T!

    12V into an AC inverter power block, so I doubt it.

    You could run some round the fingers of your glove so at night we can still see the KB wave!
