key ignition for ebike

Worked PERFECT for a Super 73 custom project. When disassembled, the lock cylinder fits almost perfect in the existing holes on the stem. One pass of electrical tape and it is solid. The removed case was cut down with Dremel, I brought it back in mostly to maintain strain relief on the cable but does give some general protection. The switch itself seems to be a great, with a solid snap between settings. The travel is only 25-30 degrees, much nicer than some 45 degree ignition switches we tried. I’m sure it works as intended for a handlebar mounted switch too. But you’ll still need to buy the push on ends and solder it all together. Fun project!

Works great! Easy to install (my 11 year installed it himself!) Fits perfect, keeps the scooter safe with a lock and key now. Blends in on the bike, so looks like it came with it.

I have no complaints about this product as is BUT I had to modify it to work in my situation and wanted to help out anyone who might be trying the same thing: We wanted to replace the simple engine kill rocker switch on my son’s Coleman minibike with a keyed lock. First off, in case anyone is wondering this fits the handlebars just fine, and this 2 wire version is all you need (although the 4 wire could also work). The issue is that on a simple bike with no battery, your engine kill switch OPENS the circuit when the engine is running and CLOSES it when you want to shut off the bike. (Opposite of how a light switch in your home works). The switch works by creating a short circuit, bypassing the spark plug and robbing your engine of spark. If your bike is an e-bike or has a battery ignition, this switch will work fine as is. If, on the other hand, you do NOT have a battery and are using kick or pull start, this keyed lock will work opposite of what you want and will need to be modified to work. Too difficult to explain here but be ready to get into the thing and reengineer it.

This thing is junk it works opposite as you need it too. Key won't come out when u want it off and it lets you crank and the engine runs when the key is off and out. Not so universal.

I was able to take out the ignition switch and install it directly into my e-bikes (Sailmoto) ignition holder and it was a direct fit! Esay install and it does EVERYTHING it was intended to do! Very happy man here!

Didn’t work well for my minibike, the key switch is backwards and isn’t mechanically right should be switched around so off is actually off.

This is an ignition switch, and will only function as a kill switch for a mini bike in reverse operation, meaning engine run is key off (key can be taken out), and engine kill (locked key can’t be removed) which will defeat the purpose of being able to securely leave a bike unattended.

It was plug and play fo ridstar q20 I totally recommend this .

Muy buen producto, excelente terminado

Wired in and works great on my q20

Bad

Its good but you can put a scissors in it and it will work
