[@Funcentric]

@@kip2981 press it a few times until it stops blinking. The button toggles through the settings of solid, blinking orange, blinking red and off. The easiest way to do it is to turn the remote off first, then the lights. That way you know when the lights turn to standby mode (blinking red), that the remote is truly off.

[@teddcuizon3964]

I got mine from Temu. Strapped them on my helmet and they work great. The distance kind of sucks though so IDK how people put it so far on the rear of their bike. IDK if the range of the signal depends on the charge or if the range is better depending if you get it on amazon, aliexpress, or temu

[@Funcentric]

The range should all be the same. Amazon resellers just source it from aliexpress. They don’t even bother to change the photos. Aliexpress by the way is way better than Temu. More products, prices are better, and sellers compete for your business with pricing and customer service to get high ratings. Meanwhile, Temu is just one seller - Temu. Aliexpress platform is also much better..

[@WoodstarForges]

I've had some of these and they're great but there's a huge design flaw. The charging port on the controller is blocked by the little bracket that holds it to the bike so it's impossible to charge unless you unscrew the back

@@WoodstarForges depends on your mounting method I suppose. I’ve had zero issues. I just slide it off the bracket when I need to recharge.

Hey thanks for responding so quickly. I have the second set on and it will respond and now both lefts blink but the second set won’t turn off or do anything else but beep.

@@DaveOTG possible you have a defective unit. You may want to reach out to aliexpress to address it.

@@Funcentric I got two sets. Got the first one up and running, but when I go through your steps to pair the second set of signals with the first remote, it does not work. Their are no further directions with the product, not any troubleshooting section. After about an hour, I lucked up and they would each turn on with the other remote, left and right, BUT although they will turn ON with the new remote, they will not turn OFF with it. Kind of pointless. I don't know how to fix this, and there is nowhere to turn. I really wanted to have a pair on the front of my scooter too. Guess I'm SOL. :(

​@@Funcentric Hi, I bought two sets of the same lights from Ali Express. Long story short, I had to send one of them back because a light wasn't working. I got a new pair yesterday and paired a light to the right signal button but can't figure out how to pair the other light to the right signal as well. After reading the manual it seems like these lights aren't individual, but they are specific to a side. After that I realized I had sent back two right side likes by accident.... Now I'm stuck with 3 left lights and 1 right light unless I can figure out how to un-pair the left light and pair it to the right button. Sorry for the tl/dr but do you have any suggestions on I can pair the light to the right button? I want to avoid sending another order back for a refund.

[@Funcentric]

@ the ones I got are not specific to any side. I got lazy and instead of removing and reinstalling the light on the correct side after charging and forgetting where they originated from, I just repaired it when I realized I mounted them on the incorrect side. Although a vast majority of comments have communicated success, I do have a few people commenting pairing issues. I really don't know why the difference in experience.

[@DavidIknaian]

@ ugh, this sucks, thanks for the help. I think I’m going to have to send them back again. I’m just gonna send them back to lefts this time haha and hopefully get it right this time

Cool turn signals.Is there a way to secure each of the turn signals so they can not be easily stolen while the ebike is locked outside? ? That is the most problem of all these nice accesories none of them offer a way to lock them or at least to have a metal clip with a bolt to tight them down.

[@Funcentric]

No, it's a risk I take. The inconvenience of it isn't worth it to me. At first, I was worried too but the price of these themselves is like insurance. Too cheap to worry about them getting stolen. Usually people who steal stuff aren't really bike owners. They want stuff to resell. Turn signals don't really have a known resale value worth stealing. Hopefully fellow bike owners aren't going to be stealing each other's stuff. But of course, you never know.

@@Funcentric thanks for your response.Yes they are cheap if you get them when they are on sale on Ali express etc.Right on they are not on sale.Regardless of the price, it is just a pain In the butt replacing them everytime they get stolen because they are so attractive to thefts and so easy to be removed.I tell you there is so many thefts out there that dont work and some homeless people that would do anything to get some cash.

[@cleoterrell8913]

Hey Illved these and I ha😊ve bought several sets of these. I actually bought 8 sets for my 2 ebikes. A couple of them go t lost from rough terrain, potholes, etc. As a result I have 4 remotes that I have never used and I also have a stubborn light that doesn't want to pair with the remote that Im using. Bike #1 front and rear work perfectly. Bike #2 rear perfect front only the left side for the front works. I know the method you showed to pair the other lights with the remo te bu t this one light just won't cooperate. Any ideas, can I unpair them some how and use one of the remotes I have never used?

[@Funcentric]

@@cleoterrell8913 not sure. You may have to just experiment with different combinations of remote and turn signals. Not sure. If I paid $50/pair, I’d expect a lot more but at these discount prices, I’m okay with some having issues. Aliexpress sellers are pretty good with returns and refunds which is always an option.

[@kjohns1413]

Does it have to make a beep noise when turn signal is on?

[@Funcentric]

Haha, yeah. I thought that would get annoying too but since the remote light isn’t bright enough, the beeping reminds me it’s on and also any pedestrians around me are warned. I’ve come to like it even though I thought it would be irritating at first. Much better than the sound this bike makes! Clinging sound on every bump.

[@Funcentric]

@@lhrelax3068 oh yes, definitely. Otherwise I wouldn’t use it because I don’t really ride at night. But because of the proximity of the lights to one another and limited physical size of the back or front of the bike, cars may only see a single light blinking while signaling and not really know which direction it is indicating. Depending on how dark. They will need to be able to see you and the full figure of the bike for context.

I got a look inside but found nothing. just the capacitor close to antenna(and close to the "B1 chip" was all shorted. even when I disconect the battery and also when I desolder the chip. So I'm completly confuse ! I tried to "pair" them by doing a long clic to the blincker and at the same time a long clip to the correspondent arrow in the remote. Donsn't work... Also a weird thing happened. The battery of one of the blinkers suddenly droped to 2.1v (it was at 4.1v just before). And the battery never want to go after 4.1v when charging.

[@gerf1023]

I just received 2 pairs from Aliexpress. Look good, but I couldn't find a charging port on the remote. So I assume there must be a button cell inside. I wonder how long that will last? For those of you who don't like the beeping, there may be a tiny speaker inside the remote. Cut the wires to that and no more sound. But please, know what you're doing before you try. I like the sound idea and have no intention of trying to disable mine. 😃

[@Funcentric]

Cool. Thanks die sharing the speaker info. I assume there’s a button battery in there too. Not rechargeable. Mine has lasted a couple months so far of almost daily riding. You also have a backup remote for when the first one dies.

[@stevopusser9093]

The remote does not have a speaker--each turn signal is beeping. Some of the sellers have a rechargeable remote, some have a button-battery remote. I have bought both types, and though the signals seem exactly the same, I have not been able to unpair and re-pair a signal on the remote type that they've not been shipped with. All the signals also have some kind of insane parasitic battery drain after being paired--the red square in the center flashes for an instant every five seconds after they are paired, but that's not enough to drain the signals completely within a few days even if they sit there unused.

[@Funcentric]

@@stevopusser9093 If the turn signals are blinking, it likely means that it's in standby mode. You have to press the button on each to turn it off completely. Same with the remote. If it continues to blink blue, it's in standby mode and not actually off. You need to manually press it to turn it off until you use it next time.

I paired mine, and after it still blinks red after i turn off signal, do i have to turn off from the signal itself

Im looking for some advice on these lights ive got two sets for front and rear but i cant pair them to one remote even after watching this excellent video . Two of the lights out of each box flash red next to power button. So can any one help me with this issue !

[@Funcentric]

If it's brand new and it's flashing red slowly, that means it's in sleep mode. Press the orange button briefly until it completely turns on or off. Then try again. If it blinks red faster, that means it's on standby mode. Toggle the remote button until the lights blink orange so it's easier to see.

It seems to me that increased safety like this would be priceless. Arm signals are difficult to do and pointless in the dark or poor light situations.

[@Funcentric]

@@paul5683 each to their own though. I obviously prefer turn signals particularly in an ebike but I can also appreciate that not everyone would. It also depends on where you live. Cyclists here won’t even stop at stop signs and sometimes not even a red light. I saw a mom just yesterday plow through a red light intentionally on her cargo bike with her kid in the back. Terrible. Unfortunately running stop signs on bikes in San Francisco is the norm. I refuse to do it but I’m in the minority, 5% probably. Bikes still are used more for recreating in the USA and not so much for transportation like a motorcycle, meaning riding at night is much more of a rarity in a bicycle than a motorcycle. I don’t think visibility in a bicycle should be required. Like a helmet or even a seatbelt. If you want to be dumb enough to forgo it, that’s your business. I for one will always where a seat belt and always wear a helmet.

[@aeryeon8877]

Whaaaat?!!! I just bought from Amazon and was delivered today. It cost me $59.99 for the complete set: 1-pair for the front turn signal and 1pair for the rear turn signal. Included in the box were: 2 pairs Turn signals, remote control for the turn signals;]4-charge cables, O-rings, seat brackets, small brackets, and friction stickers. There's no remote for the bike horn. So, I guess, it's not included? 🤔

[@Funcentric]

Yeah Amazon sellers source from AliExpress and then resell on Amazon for usually a 30-50% markup but in this case for this product it’s hundreds of percent. That’s why you don’t hear about aliexpresss which has been around for maybe a decade. Meanwhile everyone is all head over heels about junk sites like Temu or Banggood. No one talks about it because it doesn’t help there bottom line to do so. Temu is 100% marketing bull. They don’t sell as many products as AliExpress and AliExpress has the advantage of competition between sellers. I should make a video on this topic. Banggood has a different business model. They pay commission to KZbinrs. That’s why there’s Banggood links everywhere even though aliexpress has a better selection and is cheaper. The little horn I have does not have a remote, the button is on top so it has to be placed within a good reachable distance.

How long can this last on a ride ? And are these reliable? I’ve had something similar before. And they only last about 2 months.. they couldn’t take a charge. It was completely dead.

[@Funcentric]

Mine lasts at least 2 hours. I haven’t ridden longer than that at once. I’ve had it for several months. Since they running on Lipo batteries, you’ll need to maintain them as such, meaning: Don’t ever let it get empty. Store at roughly 70% charged. Don’t store it fully charged. If you follow those rules, they should last awhile.

So what did you use to put them separately on your bike like that? Or does it come like that by default?

[@Funcentric]

@@brandonboss6868 it comes with brackets. I demonstrate it in the video. I don’t like them so close together because then motorists can’t really tell it’s a turn signal let alone identifying which direction I intend to go.

[@flolou8496]

Bad idea in a way: The whole of the noise is to remind the rider to turn them off after the turn is completed, just like we do in our cars!! Imagine how many more accidents would occur with cars if people always forgot to turn off there car turn signals? it's the same logic with bike turn signals if you forget they're on because you disable the noise, and your heading straight when a car behind you thought you were turning, it could be a disaster for you on the Ebike, (think about it, your in the bike lane or at a intersection and an opportunity is there for you to turn right, and a car on your left assumes from the 4 way stop or intersection your going to take a right turn because that's what both of your turn signals say your going to do, but instead you don't turn and go straight ahead and the car on your left also begins to to turn right figuring your not not going to be in the way, but you are and you get hit, and guess what , your at fault!

[@xcentriquehub]

are these visible in day time ?

[@Funcentric]

Good question. Sorta. If it is super sunny, I don’t bother because it doesn’t stand out that much. If it is overcast, I may turn it on.

[@stevel8921]

Just got mine from Ali Express (paid about $10 each for two sets) and tried them tonight, they are great! Really appreciate the video and the link. One question: Is there any way to turn off the remote? It blinks the last button pressed about every 3 seconds, I can only guess that this will drain the remote tater quickly? But there's nothing in the instructions about turning it off and I tried a bunch of different button presses to no avail. If you can tell me a way to turn it off I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

[@Funcentric]

Yes! There is a way. The blinking remote tells you it is on stand by mode. You have to press the circle button until the blue light stops blinking. Depending on what mode you are in, you may have to press it multiple times. Yes, when still blinking, it is in standby mode and indeed drains battery.

Thanks, I’m sure it’ll work. The turn signals are designed for generic application. It comes with the seat post mount as well so worst comes to worse, you can secure it there. Otherwise I’d say in the rack or seat stays.

Just ordered 1 set. That's all that AliExpress would allow. With Shipping $6.58. Even if they are crap I'm not out too much $$. Looks like Amazon has the exact same thing for much more. I hope they are as good as the video makes them look.

[@Funcentric]

Yeah, they're good. I have 3 sets. Yes, Aliexpress is the source for Amazon resellers. Markup generally is 30-50% but for some stuff as you see, they can be 300-500%. So if you're willing to wait a week or two and are okay with no returns (but refunds if it's damaged or the wrong color or doesn't fit), then definitely go with Aliexpress. Aliexpress doesn't get the coverage b/c Amazon resellers want to keep it a secret. Also b/c Aliexpress doesn't pay youtubers so there's less reason for KZbinrs to be promoting it. No commission.

[@groovr22]

I just ordered 2 sets. First set was only $3.19 (new AliExpress user discount), the other set was $8.19. 2 sets for less than $13.00 with tax..! I sure hope they work as good as they seem in your video.

[@flolou8496]

You rushed through the instruction's on ho to get them to work together simultaneously with a dedicated front and back rear set, but I kind of got most of that, but since you had them set up since July, have you had any issues ? (do they work as good as featured in the video?) P.S. They're only 3.00 for a pair right now, (is that because they're not going to last long? )

[@Funcentric]

To sync them, press the directional button on the remote, then hold down the button on the turn signal until it flashes and beeps. These exact turn signals are being resold on Amazon for $27-35 for one pair right now. So you can decide if they’re worth it. They totally work as shown in the video. AliExpress doesn’t sponsor anyone. I only put the link here because I kept getting asked so many times. You can search it yourself and buy from any seller. Or get it from Amazon if you really want to lay $50+ for two pairs. New people are all excited about Temu which is pricier and has way more marketing. The rest of us have been using AliExpress for close to a decade. Legit.

[@Kelsonian_Institute]

Damn, I bought some similar ones for like $60 on Amazon. Still totally worth it but I'll definitely be checking these out on my next bike build!

[@Funcentric]

I think I know which ones you mean. More triangular with sharper edges, right? I’d recommend ordering now because it takes awhile to come. That way you’ll have it for the build. No link because it changes all the time. You’ll just need to look it up. Don’t pay more than $9 a pair. Since you’re not in a hurry, maybe worth looking for the < $7 ones before tax.

Unfortunately, this does not work. The voltage of the batteries quickly decreases and the relays no longer have the strength to switch/switch on and off. This happens suddenly and unexpectedly. The fixing rubber bands break - I recommend tritytes,

[@Funcentric]

You can ask for a refund if it broke.

The turn signals need to be maximally charged with 5V at all times to work. Flashing is done on the 5V relays. When the voltage drops to 4V and juz they turn off . Chinese bubble@@Funcentric

[@ChrisB...]

IMO all of these turnkey lighting solutions have the same fatal flaw, lots of separate rechargeable batteries. Best thing I ever did on my eBike was add a switched 12v sub-system running off the 60v battery that powers everything except the motor.

[@Funcentric]

Oh yeah, of course. Ideally. If the controller had that option, i would've wanted that too but not going to swap out a bunch of components for turn signals. By contrast, I purchased an aftermarket headlight for the Xpedition you see here and it came with bare wires. I added a connector and just plugged it into the stock connector that was coming from the OEM controller. Works like stock. I love it.

Seriously hate the fact that eberything out thete is either specific to the ebike setup you have, or its wireless. I have, multiple times, arrived at wotk to gind that i should have recharged the bloody things the night before, while having a prrfectly good battery already on the bike that I do charge daily, which it could run on, if only the kit was "compst8nle" with the wiring harness and controller I have (hint, the original kit in the bike was not with any of them, and I have jack clue if the new one will work with any either). Oh, and don't get me started on how controllers already sense when you apply vreaks, so "could" output a break light signal, but you if you want that you have to instead intercept the signals from the break levers (which adds another thing to the wiring that can scrrw up and cause the bike to stop.working. Sorry about the rant, but kind of looking for an upgrade, and that, to me, means finding a freaking ebike with these things already on it, if possible. Sigh...

[@Funcentric]

Yeah I totally understand. I wish they were better integrated too. Charging is indeed one more step. I think Aventon makes some integrated brake lights built into the seat stay. Their cargo bike has integrated turn signals too. I love the rip racer so just did what I had to with the stuff that’s available. The rubber securing the lights like a rubber band will snap eventually. So not the best solution. But for the price, I can’t complain.

[@patrickelliott2169]

@@Funcentric yeah, the one I got doesn't imho have enough separation between the lights, kind of sits a but under the bike rack, which is jeririgged on itself, and used some silly rubber thing to attach it - which I tried several alternatives to before just zip tying the flipping thing. Whole thing is a mess, including the new battery, for the replacement controller (since the original motor, and throttle where both incompatible with the replacement motor and there was no way to upgrade the in frame battery). I am still not sure if I will bother to add mounts, before replacing the bike, or just leave the new battery literally gorilla taped to the center frame, where it partly overlaps the folding part *and* sits so high its hard for me, at over 6' to even get on and off the thing. There was no other place to mount one... Some of the design decisions on the frame for it are just, "Why?!" lol But, if/when I do get a new one it would be real nice to be sure I can install stuff on it without the controls being backwards (apparently the original twist style throttle is "on" by default as far as the new controller interprets it, and decreases as you twist it. That was a huge surprise when it was thankfully upside down and I first switch on the new battery....), trying to use the old harness gave error codes with the new controller, and... despite the thing seeming to know that holding the mode button should turn on the light, the existing kit gave no means to connect it to the front light - but did have an "always on" connection, when the controller is turned on, which you could plug said light into instead (but ignores the control panel buttons). Forget integration, just bloody standardization would be helpful. lol
