Headlights

This is "Punch" showing off his new headlights.
This is a side view of the headlight mount which utilizes the existing taps which are supplied for mounting a water bottle cage. This allows the lights to be mounted on the frame where the lights can track with the movement of the trikke itself instead of the radical movement of the handlebars.
This is a front view of the headlight mount which allows for the mounting of dual headlights. The mount is high enough on the frame so that the lights are within reach of the rider. Though not as high as bicycle handlebars, at approximately 27" the lights are high enough to give reasonable control of directing the lights on the trail ahead.
This is view of the headlight mount with the trikke in a folded position. You will want to cut the section of bar that holds the lights short enough to clear the trikke's legs when folded. This will leave you plenty of room to mount even the largest of headlights with additional room to mount water bottles and/or computer if you so choose.
Here is a shot of the headlight mount sporting a pair of Vegas along with a water bottle. This mount not only allows the use of any bicycle headlight on the market, but there is also room to add water bottles and/or computer.
Before cutting the section of handlebar that will serve to mount the headlights, you may first want to see how everything fits together. Once you are satisfied with the fit, you can mark the handlebar for cutting. If you do not happen to have any discarded straight handlebars laying around, you can always purchase an inexpensive handlebar to cut up for your headlight mount.
My headlight mount was built using a new handlebar which I purchased from Bike Nashbar for $11. This particular handlebar appears to no longer be available. Keep your eyes open for when another inexpensive handlebar goes on sale. For handlebars available at Bike Nashbar click here ...
