Adding lights to my Coleman CC100X mini bike

[@DieselActual]

Love the vid. I’m just cringing for that light bracket to spin in your hand while you were drilling. LOL. 😬

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

It was pretty slow speed and lightweight piece, but I hear ya!

[@bbaaspencer1]

I have to say, Good job! I added a push button switch. I attached a female connector with 6 inch lead to the battery. I then attach the matching male connector to a budget trickle charger that I wired to the male connector. I got the plastic battery box with tie down on eBay. I’m going to add a rear combo (tail light, turn signal, license plate light and brake light) I ordered on EBay. Eventually, I’ll add the generator kit to the engine with a 12v rectifier to keep the battery charged.

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

That's awesome! Sounds like you are stepping it up a level. I have thought about how to add turn signals and brake light. And I had no idea you could add an alternator to the engine to charge the 12v battery.

[@bbaaspencer1]

I’m researching it and finding out so far, some 6.5hp have internal charging. You can buy a kit for a 6.5hp if it doesn’t have one. It’s hard to find any mini bike in the Nashville area for sale and I just sold mine for $100 above what I had in it. Guy saw me working on it in my driveway and pulled out cash and bought it for his kid and left! Supply and demand! I might get a CT200

Rectifier regulator for 6.5hp engines three wires 1 red with fuse and 2 blue or green

[@Shawnpbrock]

Can you provide a quick wiring diagram? Looks like a simple circuit but I’m terrible at this stuff! Want to do this with my bike!!

[@therowdyz]

good idea putting the battery under the seat!!

[@the_bleiss489]

So you conect the back red light to the positive switch

[@444Zenn]

Do those blue things come with any of that stuff

[@discgolfcasados9801]

Really useful video on a light mod. I want to purchase the cc100x but wonder if it will be comfortable, I'm 5'8". Does it ride comfortably for an adult?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Yep I'm 5'9" 200lbs and ride it all the time. It's a lot of fun! Oh I'm a disc golfer too!

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Check out my disc golf fail kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3LLkKqBfqeJZ5o

[@discgolfcasados9801]

Thanks for the info. I was gonna get something larger like one of the 200's but will definitely get the cc100x now ans try modding it up after awhile. I'm going to start a small disc golf review channel, we'll see how it goes.

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

@@discgolfcasados9801 The 200 is definitely on my list, but I like starting with this little one. A true mini bike. Small enough for my kids. The 200 would be too big for them. Thanks for watching and suscribing!

[@discgolfcasados9801]

@@LifeWithSevenSons awesome, if your ever in Albuquerque, hit me up and we'll go throw a round!

[@chosenone1004]

Nice set up ! How long does that battery normally last between charges ?

[@jagman2962]

Great job man. Turned out nice!👍

Thanks for watching! I hope you subscribe and check out my other videos!

[@lbbarthelemy9268]

Hey I’m gonna do the same thing but for some reason the link for the wiring is also the switch? Could u reply the link for the wiring? Thank you!!

Also where did u purchase light kit ???

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Amazon. See links in description.

[@jms7718]

Would a BT200x mini bike work out for a 13 year old?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Yeah, I think a 13 year old could handle the bigger one. But younger probably the 100cc is better.

[@alexpeacock1034]

That's cool I might show my dad this thanks!

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Let me know how it goes!

[@bridgerhouston4131]

you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@bridgerhouston4131]

@Cohen Legend Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@bridgerhouston4131]

@Cohen Legend it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out!

[@Deadmanstunts5809]

Can i get the 100 to pull me around in the grass? I am 230lbs

[@ricardomaldonado601]

Do you have to charge your battery

[@moreamasha-allah1849]

Questions if I add signals which is turning left to right and also brake light so I will be able to ride on the street?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

I think it's worth a shot! I think you'd need mirrors, headlight, tail light, signals, brake light. That would be a fun project to get it street legal.

[@Griffin0021]

What kind of battery you using

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

I listed all the parts in the description. Here is the battery: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010Z4MDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@baranqumane1830]

Is it normal to pull the throtle really hard to get full speed out of it? Or does it supposed to be smooth n easy? Also when i let the throttle go mine slows down right away is that normal? Also does the tensioner leave mark from the chain? Mine does and i only have it for 2 days? Plz advise thank u in advance

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Yeah, I have to firmly twist the throttle back to get it all the way. I've been thinking about adjusting it to be easier to pull. And yes, it slows down quite a bit when you throttle off. And yes, the tension roller shows some indication of where the chain rolls on it. Seems normal.

[@baranqumane1830]

Life with Seven Sons thank you

[@Nickb6320]

I'd also ensure that the bolt holding the front tire isn't too tight (as indicated in manual) as that can cause the front wheel to not spin freely.

[@SteveMagr]

Great job! Where did you source the LED headlight from? Under what brand name please?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

I put links in the description!

[@Minibike-Isaac]

Hey man would you make and sell me 1 of those battery boxes? I have a ct100u which is the same thing basically and I love that box you made. Shipping would be to Colorado if your down for that!

[@kendogg619]

Add a rectifier so it will charge the battery.

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

I'd love to learn how to do that!

[@MRGarcia1983]

wher to buy all this

[@kiahayes9939]

Would u recommend this bike to 14 year olds and would u ever sell this type of bike if so I'll buy it

[@davidcantey3353]

Super job

[@juanmachuca6375]

You should try to make a charge system so you dont have to recharge the battery every few hours

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Powered off the engine? I think you'd need an alternator or something. This battery has great life.

[@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg]

@@LifeWithSevenSons Some motors come with a stator that produces 7 to 12 ac voltage depending on rpms. They have a voltage regulator / rectifier that converts ac to dc and a constant 12v dc no matter the rpm. The same system is how a riding mower charges its battery

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

@@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg How would I find it on this engine? I kind of doubt it does since nothing on the bike is electric and it is a pull start motor.

[@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg]

@@LifeWithSevenSons if it did not come with a headlamp originally the kit probably did not come with at stator on the motor. I bought a Coleman mini bike CT 200U -EX And it came with a headlamp. And it was a 2 wire coming out of the motor behind the pull start. If you really wanted to you could buy a stater kit . but then would still need a voltage regulator/rectifier and battery. But essentially it would be a recharging system after that

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

@@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg Yeah, the CC100X does not come with a headlamp like the CT 200

[@drewpackham2344]

Very very nice!

I need to do this to mine haha

[@josephworthley2191]

How long does the battery last?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Good question. It hasn't died down yet. I would guess a couple hours of use then I'll have to charge it up.

[@TwoGunToast]

I definitely want to do something like this. How long does the battery last between charges?

[@LifeWithSevenSons]

Honestly I haven't even measured the battery life. I have only charged it once since March. I ride it at night for maybe 10-15 minutes at a time occasionally. I'd guess you'd get 10-12 hours of power for these little lights. Depending on size of your battery and the LED draw, you can calculate, but I'm not that smart.

What was that battery u used. ???
