Some of Tommy Thunders Scooters
Since I run the shop over here at Scootertronics I have a chance to better our scooters
This is one of my scooters with my boy posing for me Owen after a ride up in the mountains in Thurmont where we live .yYou can find this scooter on our site I ride almost everyday and since I work down at the Scootertronics shop from morning to night I found my self doing at lot of night driving . I have been doing some great light upgrades for me to see better and for every one to see me better. The picture above is before I did anything with the lighting .Now so far I have changed the tail light and brake light and have added rear running/marker lights . I will be adding the front yellow markers lights this Sunday
This is the stock rear light and the one at the top is the stock This is rear tail and side markers after
This is before side markers .Now they took a little bit of customizing . I had to drill a few holes in body panels to install them.The rear tail and brake lights I used a lot of mounting from the old tail brackets.Now this is not to hard to do but you should have some mechanical mskills and proper tools .I will be putting some light kits togeather for those who are interested.It will be available soon as all testing is done
I also have done some other electric
upgrades and they have been working great .I have put in duel battery system . I have been trying this out a few
different ways and so far has been working great .I can use it as back up or run at same time to charge and run all
excessories with out as much stain magneto. I can run two 50 watt plus my stock head light my
stereo system , my
gps ,a small outlet that has three
cigarette lighter type insert power supply with 3 outputs .One I use for
rechargeable light made for that socket The rest for what ever I need later .The unit also lights up in blue. I also installed a three light on my
windshield that points down a my gauges and lights the light blue . So far I have ran the scooter at least 100 miles all at night with every thing on and my alternator gage still shows I am charging and the Batteries have be staying charged. When I have proved the system well I will make it
available at
