Let there be ESK8 lights

Thank you so much @janpom this is awesome!

In these two pictures it appears there are holes for screws that hold the case on.

In this picture it doesn’t seem the screw heads are accessible from that side, do the threads tap directly into the 3d printed part?

Yes. It’s the same on the original part.

I think it is better to use a waterproof switch. Otherwise, thank you for the upgrade of this light.

Check your DNS, works for me.

DNS works fine, it’s the link and the site.

The link they shortened is https://ad.soicos.com/-1rzn?trackerID=m4pyah45g00002cl0w7oj;3045&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2F1005006392116774.html%3Fspm%3Da2g0o.productlist.main.1.5a7fcBXBcBXBt0%26algo_pvid%3D30a2cbbc-f38f-4324-8d08-ff54d38fd39f%26algo_exp_id%3D30a2cbbc-f38f-4324-8d08-ff54d38fd39f-0%26pdp_npi%3D4%2540dis%2521EUR%25212.00%25211.91%2521%2521%252114.87%252114.19%2521%2540211b80c217342568241631993e0637%252112000037003219914%2521sea%2521CZ%2521109944643%2521X%26curPageLogUid%3DfbckNd3kK8C8%26utparam-url%3Dscene%253Asearch%257Cquery_from%253A

Looks robust. Clever idea. U Al profile, inside led strip and hot glue?

Small LED strip and clear MS silicone. The cable is secured by two little holes, and stitching several loops with a needled and thread. Super glue then sets the stitching hard.

The mounts are drilled and tapped M4 on the edges and it’s screwed to them, somewhat bracing the mounts also.


Gotm y headlights mounted and wired just gotta get the tail light done.

Headlight mount buts will be getting swapped to thumb screw style for easy removal. They are also wired with mr30s into the box 1 switch for high/low and 1 switch for the tail light. Headlights are ran off battery voltage and taillight is ran through a step down. Can’t wait to test them out on a night ride

Couldn’t mount these trucks as drop through so made this to fill the hole and support the Riptide half Backing frame.

I have a couple things to add as inspiration or solutions.


Headlights, temporary el cheapo from Alibaba or Temu. I was planning on making some myself but these are good enough. They say 48v max but 16S has been fine for thousands of km so far. I cycle low beams, high beams, off with a switch by my foot. The ones that look like this.


Under glow with ws2812 strips, about 120 watts max draw. Main purpose is during Halloween and Christmas, can be controlled over Bluetooth.


Brake lights, done through Spintend Ubox and a their custom lisp code you just copy and paste. Tail light is a led strip and aluminium bar which used to be straight but I had to bend up for larger tires.


TSG Pass thing. I use it because otherwise my lights are all only 15cm above the ground and my brake lights only turn on while brake. I used a 21700, a tiny pcb from AliExpress that charges it from usb C and supplies an adjustable regulated voltage for €1.5, a thin led strip and a latching switch just shoved in there.
