- Hoping for more light output on my Larry vs Harry E-Bullitt. I will remove and replace the stock headlight with the Portland Design Works Kepler headlight.

I have experience with the Busch+Muller Eyc headlight, dyno powered and e-bike version (also on a Larry vs Harry Bullitt). Looking at the PDW Kepler, I am disappointed too. Nearfield light is needed just as much as downrange illumination, and this is proof that Lux (measured at the beam's hot spot) and overall Lumens do not tell the whole story. That said, if you need to upgrade from a lamp weaker in output than the Eyc, which sits in the median of what's out there, the Kepler *is* more readily available in the US, and the price is attractive. Not every bike shop *even knows* about the European spec lights, or the German StVZO vehicle lighting standard they must comply with.
Well said! I've yet to find a better light.
I had considered this light, because of the cutoff pattern. However, this light just doesn't put out enough lumens for my needs.
Thank for sharing this video.
Is headlight voltage the same weather ita a 48v 52v 60v bike????????????????
Quick question is there a fuse on the light or the controller for the headlight? My ebike lights comes on even when I turn off my lights..maybe it's a fuse or a bad switch..
I haven't seen a fuse but I also have not had the covers off of the motore or battery mount. A good resource would be to contact Splendid Cycles in Portland Oregon. Also the Shimano Steps schematics are available online.
Same problem.
Bro this light is too little, you need a motorcycle headlight on thistle Ebike.
I'll check it out! Thanks for the tip.
Damn wire on my bike has both wires together. Wtf
Oh no! That makes it more complicated for sure.
