$15 E-bike Turn Signals Worth Buying
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 07. 2023
- At $6.50 a set, I wasn’t expecting much but it ended up being amazing. Full featured and it can pair with another set so you can have front and rear turn signals for your #ebike for under $15 shipped!
Demo of the product and how to pair two sets with a single remote on a #Lectric #XPedition
May expire anytime so just look for this product from a seller pricing it under $7.

Just got mine in. Thanks for this review.
Thank you for sharing this info. I paid $16.33 for two sets. I wanted something for the front and another set for the rear (behind a passenger or whatever is riding in the rear). I will follow your instructions and synch them together.
Update: My turn signals arrived and I got them installed (Super easy), and paired both sets with the remote. They work great..! Thanks for the idea..!
Awesome! Thanks for taking the moment to let me know. Enjoy!
Do they always make that noise ?
@@CS-ux2uk yup.
@@CS-ux2uk Unfortunately, yes, they do. But as it turns out, it comes in handy when you forget to turn off the signal. I LOVE these turn signals. I'd buy them again.
How’s it been working ?
Looks good. Might try on my Xpediton.
just ordered both for less than $10 tax+shipping included! Appreciate the vid🔥
Thank you for your video. I have exactly the same pair of turn signal light. But I just was thinking if it was posible.
Just got my Xpedition a couple of days ago and am really loving your videos. Thanks so much for making and sharing them. I snagged the turn signals for just over $4 on AE. Quick question. Can you share the type of phone mount you're using? I'm having trouble finding something that works with the limited space and tapered handlebars. Thanks!
Cool and thanks. This is a similar one from Amazon, a.co/d/j0g33u3 and this is the exact one I got,

I have these and they are great.
Yup! I for 6 pairs! One for ran over by a car when it fell off the bike; my fault for not securing it well.
Gracias x la explicacion, pedi 2 , 01 me llegó con el control que NO prende, ya le cambie las pilas y a veces funciona a veces no. 😢
thank you so much !!!!!!!! god stuff
Just checked 02-06-24 and they’ve $3.19 for a set.
Amazing 💯😍
Nice! Probably intro offer to new aliexpressers.
You rushed through the instruction's on ho to get them to work together simultaneously with a dedicated front and back rear set,
but I kind of got most of that, but since you had them set up since July, have you had any issues ? (do they work as good as featured in the video?)
P.S. They're only 3.00 for a pair right now, (is that because they're not going to last long? )
To sync them, press the directional button on the remote, then hold down the button on the turn signal until it flashes and beeps.
These exact turn signals are being resold on Amazon for $27-35 for one pair right now. So you can decide if they’re worth it. They totally work as shown in the video. AliExpress doesn’t sponsor anyone. I only put the link here because I kept getting asked so many times. You can search it yourself and buy from any seller. Or get it from Amazon if you really want to lay $50+ for two pairs.
New people are all excited about Temu which is pricier and has way more marketing. The rest of us have been using AliExpress for close to a decade. Legit.
Hi, do you have recommendations for front and back bike storage containers?
I do not, I generally carry groceries inside the front basket in the paper bag and/or I carry a backpack. If you want a pannier, there's ones that double as a backpack so you can easily take it into a store after you park your bike outside. Waterproof too. I've seen them on amazon for about $40-50.
Damn, I bought some similar ones for like $60 on Amazon. Still totally worth it but I'll definitely be checking these out on my next bike build!
I think I know which ones you mean. More triangular with sharper edges, right? I’d recommend ordering now because it takes awhile to come. That way you’ll have it for the build.
No link because it changes all the time. You’ll just need to look it up. Don’t pay more than $9 a pair. Since you’re not in a hurry, maybe worth looking for the < $7 ones before tax.
Is there room to put them on an Aventon Level 2? I really enjoy your videos do appreciate your advice!
Thanks, I’m sure it’ll work. The turn signals are designed for generic application. It comes with the seat post mount as well so worst comes to worse, you can secure it there. Otherwise I’d say in the rack or seat stays.
@@Funcentric Thanks. I was concerned that there might not be enough room on the rear rack.
@@thomasjohnson8246 that I’m not sure. The thickness of the rack may also be too thin but I’m sure you can rig something up like using a foam tube or something.
@@Funcentric Sounds like a plan!
I just ordered 2 sets. First set was only $3.19 (new AliExpress user discount), the other set was $8.19. 2 sets for less than $13.00 with tax..! I sure hope they work as good as they seem in your video.
Awesome! And even if they don’t and they completely suck, you’re just out $13! Congrats either way. If you do end up not liking them, let me know in the comments why. Would be interesting to know and for others to get your feedback.
WHat's your experience with these? Will order if they're good and reliable
@@karlschleifenbaum5793 Still using 'em. The only ones I'm not using is the one that I didn't secure well, it fell off and a car ran over it. Still kinda works surprisingly but kinda iffy. I may buy another set if it goes on super sale again as replacement and backup.
@@karlschleifenbaum5793 I love them. I use them regularly on my rides. I would definitely buy again, and have recommended them to friends.
Thanks man@@Funcentric
thinking about getting these for my small trailer that doesn’t have light hook ups
For the price, it’s worth a shot.
@@Funcentric yep and i don’t wanna wire anything up i might try to find some that don’t beep when turned on but these are nice
@@teslasnguns I hated the beeping at first but with road noise and traffic, it’s not as loud as the echo into garage. Also it is a reminder that it’s on. Safety feature too.
I have them but would like to get the attachment more firm. The silicone/rubber strap attachment system is too loose. I can't tell, did you only use those are something else?
I had to make a spacer with a foam tube for this particular bike. It’a designed to fit directly on bike frames or the seat using the adapter.
@@Funcentric Thanks. I may go the foam route.
I'm not fond of the silicone/rubber attachment system. I'd like something a little more difficult to steal. Ever come across anything that could convert this to a nut and bolt attachment?
@@Landsw-zj1swNo, I haven't.
@@Funcentric Thanks.
I just received 2 pairs from Aliexpress. Look good, but I couldn't find a charging port on the remote. So I assume there must be a button cell inside. I wonder how long that will last? For those of you who don't like the beeping, there may be a tiny speaker inside the remote. Cut the wires to that and no more sound. But please, know what you're doing before you try. I like the sound idea and have no intention of trying to disable mine. 😃
Cool. Thanks die sharing the speaker info. I assume there’s a button battery in there too. Not rechargeable. Mine has lasted a couple months so far of almost daily riding. You also have a backup remote for when the first one dies.
The remote does not have a speaker--each turn signal is beeping.
Some of the sellers have a rechargeable remote, some have a button-battery remote. I have bought both types, and though the signals seem exactly the same, I have not been able to unpair and re-pair a signal on the remote type that they've not been shipped with.
All the signals also have some kind of insane parasitic battery drain after being paired--the red square in the center flashes for an instant every five seconds after they are paired, but that's not enough to drain the signals completely within a few days even if they sit there unused.
@@stevopusser9093 If the turn signals are blinking, it likely means that it's in standby mode. You have to press the button on each to turn it off completely. Same with the remote. If it continues to blink blue, it's in standby mode and not actually off. You need to manually press it to turn it off until you use it next time.
finally someone knows what others are thinking. i just did my order now and thats the first thing i want to make it not do, that sound is annoying. thanks!
@@Motorvapor66You would think, but it's a safety thing. For other people to hear you and to remind you that it's on. I'd argue that it's more necessary for a bike than a car.
Hey, I ordered mine a while ago but 1 week ago, it started to failed. One of the two blinkers was responing to the controller. But now it's worse, the two blinkers seams to have unpaired and its unuseable now. I got a look inside but found nothing. just the capacitor close to antenna(and close to the "B1 chip" was all shorted. even when I disconect the battery and also when I desolder the chip. So I'm completly confuse ! I tried to "pair" them by doing a long clic to the blincker and at the same time a long clip to the correspondent arrow in the remote. Donsn't work... Also a weird thing happened. The battery of one of the blinkers suddenly droped to 2.1v (it was at 4.1v just before). And the battery never want to go after 4.1v when charging. I you got any ideas please tell me !
Sounds like you know more about them than I do. I have purchased 6 sets and no issues other than I dropped one and a car ran over it. Still sorta works! Haha. I haven’t taken any apart.
So from my understanding when you purchase this item they have mounts where you can put it on each side or are they a separate purchase?
The video shows you all the parts. Did you not see them?
can 2 sets of different turn signals be paired to one controller? like one pair in the front and the other in the back so that I don't have to have 2 drivers
Did you not watch the video? I literally demonstrated that.
At around 3:45 you have a close up of the rear. What is the thick thing it's attached to? I have the lights but nothing that looks like that. Looks very clean.
Thanks.
That’s just the seat for my cargo bike. For the front where it’s attached to a basket, I had to maneuver the bracket to get a tight fit.
How long can this last on a ride ? And are these reliable? I’ve had something similar before. And they only last about 2 months.. they couldn’t take a charge. It was completely dead.
Mine lasts at least 2 hours. I haven’t ridden longer than that at once. I’ve had it for several months. Since they running on Lipo batteries, you’ll need to maintain them as such, meaning:
Don’t ever let it get empty.
Store at roughly 70% charged.
Don’t store it fully charged.
If you follow those rules, they should last awhile.
Okay, I bought 2 swts ans they arrived yesterday when I first paires them everyrhing looked right... do you have to keep pairing/adjusting them?
sometimes only the front comes on or I push thebleft tiurn button but the right turn signal. comes on
You may have them backwards from after charging perhaps? Mine work fine and do not need to be paired again at all.
@@Funcentric I thought that also but thats not the case Sometimes only front turn sigal will come on, sometimes on whatever side, the light will flash in the front, and th rear light may remain dark or it will
flash amber in the rear and show solid red in the front ..
is there a way to unpair thes and start the pairing over..
n the
@@cleoterrell8913 hmmm, make sure the controller is on first followed by the turn signals.
Do they stay synced after you turn them off?
Yes!
Just what I'm looking for, but I'm in the UK so gonna have to pay a small fortune. 😢
Yeah, I’m not sure what the options are in the UK. Would be interested to know. Feel free to post here if you find out.
Could you please give the link to purchase the strip by which I can move the light. Thanks for your video.
Sorry, I don't understand. Strip to move the light?
@@Funcentric Which you said in video "toggle knoches" the light mount by which I can adjust the light up and down. I need this to setup the light. Please share your purchase link. Thanks..
@@sanjoyghosh2356 www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805048241748.html Prices change all the time which is why I haven't posted the link initially. If you are a first time Aliexpress user, you can get it quite cheaply....even cheaper than the $7.50 I quoted.
@@FuncentricBrother I already purchase 2 sets of light after watching your video. But now I need backlights adjustable mount by which I can angle light upwords and backwords. Please give me the purchase link of backlight angle mount. Thanks.
@@sanjoyghosh2356 it comes with the set. It’s the mounting bracket that I show from the box. It comes with a seat mount and then the mount that I use.
I bought these from your video but can't pair two sets to 1 remote. I tried what you demonstrated but it doesn't work. Can you help??
Make sure the second set is on. Then press the direction on the existing remote you’d like to reuse for the new set.
Hey thanks for responding so quickly. I have the second set on and it will respond and now both lefts blink but the second set won’t turn off or do anything else but beep. I have to physically push the button to turn it off, which defeats the purpose. Little frustrating, but if you can offer any other insight, it would be appreciated! Thanks
@@DaveOTG possible you have a defective unit. You may want to reach out to aliexpress to address it.
Whaaaat?!!! I just bought from Amazon and was delivered today. It cost me $59.99 for the complete set: 1-pair for the front turn signal and 1pair for the rear turn signal. Included in the box were: 2 pairs Turn signals, remote control for the turn signals;]4-charge cables, O-rings, seat brackets, small brackets, and friction stickers. There's no remote for the bike horn. So, I guess, it's not included? 🤔
Yeah Amazon sellers source from AliExpress and then resell on Amazon for usually a 30-50% markup but in this case for this product it’s hundreds of percent.
That’s why you don’t hear about aliexpresss which has been around for maybe a decade. Meanwhile everyone is all head over heels about junk sites like Temu or Banggood. No one talks about it because it doesn’t help there bottom line to do so. Temu is 100% marketing bull. They don’t sell as many products as AliExpress and AliExpress has the advantage of competition between sellers. I should make a video on this topic.
Banggood has a different business model. They pay commission to CZcamsrs. That’s why there’s Banggood links everywhere even though aliexpress has a better selection and is cheaper.
The little horn I have does not have a remote, the button is on top so it has to be placed within a good reachable distance.
I find the U shape rather than an arrow to be confusing....there may only be an instant to take this in,
Agreed. Less for full night without light but during times where you can see which part of the bike the blinker is on.
I paired mine, and after it still blinks red after i turn off signal, do i have to turn off from the signal itself
Yes, if you turn it off with the remote, that’s just putting it on standby. The red light will flash less frequently. You can only turn off the turn signal by pressing the orange button.
How long would the battery last?
At least a few hours. I ride at night fully charged for about 2 hours.
They don't pair that way and now I'm stuck with two different blinkers.
Hmmm, must be something wrong because I bought 5 pairs and they all pair to any single remote I program it to. I’d recommend trying again.
I have this setup on two different bikes. When I charge them, I sometimes forget which bike the turn signals came from and so I just reprogram it and it works without issue every time.
Yours might be flawed if you’ve gotten
the exact style I got and are following the instructions to a T. Many viewers have done the same thing. Not sure what’s going on with yours if you’ré indeed following the instructions accordingly.
Can we turn off that loud beeping? I know its important to have for auditory safety but i just can't stand that sound and would actually stop me from using it if i had to listen to that everytime i used it
Nope
@@Funcentric sigh....
@@triaxe-mmb maybe you can take it apart and remove the speaker? Or mute it like people have been doing with apple air tags.
Bad idea in a way: The whole of the noise is to remind the rider to turn them off after the turn is completed, just like we do in our cars!!
Imagine how many more accidents would occur with cars if people always forgot to turn off there car turn signals? it's the same logic with bike turn signals
if you forget they're on because you disable the noise, and your heading straight when a car behind you thought you were turning, it could be a disaster for you on the
Ebike, (think about it, your in the bike lane or at a intersection and an opportunity is there for you to turn right, and a car on your left assumes from the 4 way stop or
intersection your going to take a right turn because that's what both of your turn signals say your going to do, but instead you don't turn and go straight ahead
and the car on your left also begins to to turn right figuring your not not going to be in the way, but you are and you get hit, and guess what , your at fault!
What type of bike is that : looks cool 😎
Lectric XPedition dual battery electric cargo bike.
Does it have to make a beep noise when turn signal is on?
Haha, yeah. I thought that would get annoying too but since the remote light isn’t bright enough, the beeping reminds me it’s on and also any pedestrians around me are warned. I’ve come to like it even though I thought it would be irritating at first.
Much better than the sound this bike makes! Clinging sound on every bump.
can you see it during the day?
@@lhrelax3068 oh yes, definitely. Otherwise I wouldn’t use it because I don’t really ride at night.
But because of the proximity of the lights to one another and limited physical size of the back or front of the bike, cars may only see a single light blinking while signaling and not really know which direction it is indicating. Depending on how dark. They will need to be able to see you and the full figure of the bike for context.
@@lhrelax3068 just got mine. Pretty bright.
IMO all of these turnkey lighting solutions have the same fatal flaw, lots of separate rechargeable batteries. Best thing I ever did on my eBike was add a switched 12v sub-system running off the 60v battery that powers everything except the motor.
Oh yeah, of course. Ideally. If the controller had that option, i would've wanted that too but not going to swap out a bunch of components for turn signals.
By contrast, I purchased an aftermarket headlight for the Xpedition you see here and it came with bare wires. I added a connector and just plugged it into the stock connector that was coming from the OEM controller. Works like stock. I love it.
just ordered this from \aliexpress for just £2.96 inc delivery
Honestly, hiw much a charge last?
Hard to say. I use it every time maybe for 3 hours total? I haven’t run it dry.
On blinking mode. I’m sure shorter if kept on solid on mode.
Anyone know how to disable the sound?
Only by removing or breaking the speaker. It’s not designed to be silenced. Keep the sound. It’s for safety anyway.
Just got these and one side has two yellow that won’t shut off
One side has two yellow? What do you mean by that?
@@Funcentric one of the two lights has two of the yellow led that won’t turn off always on
@@HuntersCyclingAdventures oh I see. That must be a defect. I had that happen after I dropped mine and a car ran over it. You can contact AliExpress to see if they can give a refund.
Seriously hate the fact that eberything out thete is either specific to the ebike setup you have, or its wireless. I have, multiple times, arrived at wotk to gind that i should have recharged the bloody things the night before, while having a prrfectly good battery already on the bike that I do charge daily, which it could run on, if only the kit was "compst8nle" with the wiring harness and controller I have (hint, the original kit in the bike was not with any of them, and I have jack clue if the new one will work with any either).
Oh, and don't get me started on how controllers already sense when you apply vreaks, so "could" output a break light signal, but you if you want that you have to instead intercept the signals from the break levers (which adds another thing to the wiring that can scrrw up and cause the bike to stop.working.
Sorry about the rant, but kind of looking for an upgrade, and that, to me, means finding a freaking ebike with these things already on it, if possible. Sigh...
Yeah I totally understand. I wish they were better integrated too. Charging is indeed one more step. I think Aventon makes some integrated brake lights built into the seat stay. Their cargo bike has integrated turn signals too.
I love the rip racer so just did what I had to with the stuff that’s available. The rubber securing the lights like a rubber band will snap eventually. So not the best solution. But for the price, I can’t complain.
@@Funcentric yeah, the one I got doesn't imho have enough separation between the lights, kind of sits a but under the bike rack, which is jeririgged on itself, and used some silly rubber thing to attach it - which I tried several alternatives to before just zip tying the flipping thing. Whole thing is a mess, including the new battery, for the replacement controller (since the original motor, and throttle where both incompatible with the replacement motor and there was no way to upgrade the in frame battery). I am still not sure if I will bother to add mounts, before replacing the bike, or just leave the new battery literally gorilla taped to the center frame, where it partly overlaps the folding part *and* sits so high its hard for me, at over 6' to even get on and off the thing. There was no other place to mount one...
Some of the design decisions on the frame for it are just, "Why?!" lol
But, if/when I do get a new one it would be real nice to be sure I can install stuff on it without the controls being backwards (apparently the original twist style throttle is "on" by default as far as the new controller interprets it, and decreases as you twist it. That was a huge surprise when it was thankfully upside down and I first switch on the new battery....), trying to use the old harness gave error codes with the new controller, and... despite the thing seeming to know that holding the mode button should turn on the light, the existing kit gave no means to connect it to the front light - but did have an "always on" connection, when the controller is turned on, which you could plug said light into instead (but ignores the control panel buttons).
Forget integration, just bloody standardization would be helpful. lol
Mine failed within an hour of installation ...
Did you charge the batteries first? How did it fail? No lights at all?
@@Funcentric Yes. Everything was charged.Both indicators only worked intermittently. Pain in the arse ...
Can’t find the link
In the description.
Can you turn off the annoying beeping noises?
Nope, seems annoying at first but a lot of that is because it’s in the garage. I wanted to mute it to but after using it, I’m glad there’s a sound. Reminder it’s on and helps pedestrians know you’ré around.

That's okay. They'll pop up sales again every now and then. Don't use the Choice section. They just increase prices on that section before you can use your coins and even with the discount, it's more expensive than just getting it through the other sale sections of the website.
