Hey just was thinking that if you wanted to tinker on that a little more you could add a sprocket to your bike and then get an alternator from a junk yard and if you geared it properly could generat a charging voltage while you rode around.... :undecided:

Always thought about that. Eventually when I get time I will. But I have to watch how much weight I put on the rear axle.

You have more lights on your bike trailer than some departments do on their vehicles!


I think it's cool that you learned how to wire everything and mount it and whatnot, but one of these would have served the same purpose IMO:

Fact of the matter is that you built something, and it's something you're proud of. Nobody can take that away from you :thumbsup:

But I will add, the effort and work looks pretty good.
