Using this e-bike taillight is simple. First, you need to connect the integrated 130 cm cable to your e - bike’s motor or battery system. Since the light is powered by the e - bike's motor, it will turn on when the motor is running. When you start to decelerate, the taillight will automatically increase its brightness from 12 to 24 lumens to alert others. For installation, be aware that it may require some disassembly of your bike and motor, depending on your bike's make, model, and battery type. It's highly recommended that you get a trained e - bike professional to do the installation for you. If you want to do it yourself, contact your e - bike or motor manufacturer for detailed instructions. As for maintenance, because it has an IPX7 waterproof rating, it can withstand splashes and light rain. But try to avoid submerging it in water for a long time. Also, regularly check the mounting hardware to make sure it's tight and the light is securely attached to your bike.
