Led Flexible Strip
Installing underglow on 70cc scooter?
I would like to install some LED underglow lights on my Sym JetEuro 70cc scooter. I have found some kits for motorcycles that look like they'd work on my scooter.

Is it as simple as putting the strips where I want them, running the wires to the control box (most kids come with one), and wiring the control box to my scooter's battery? Will my battery be strong enough to illuminate all those LEDs?
It's not your battery you're going to be worried about, it's your stator. When the bike is running, it's running off of the output of the stator coil (alternator.) Typically the system is designed to have just enough push to run the systems and keep the battery full.
I'm not familiar with your Sym JetEuro, but if it's like any other 70cc scooter out there it's not going to have a large electrical current to draw on.
When you rev it up, does your headlight get significantly brighter? That's a good indication that your system is borderline unbalanced, and adding another load will make it worse.
The good news is that LED's draw almost NO amperage. The control box might, however. If I were you, I'd try to find a cheap used set, and without installing them, hook them up to the battery. Start up the bike and see what happens. Test your idling voltage at your battery with and without the lights hooked up, and then try it at 1/2 throttle. Make sure the 2 sets of numbers don't vary much.
Can't be much more specific than that, bud, sorry. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get where you're going, return to start up the bike, and the battery will be down or dead. With a scoot, you can always push start it...
