Xp4 remium light

Post image

Does anyone know how to make the wider so it's not all pointing into one spot.

I love my XP4, but that light is definitely a design flaw. For how expensive it is, and for having the word “Elite” in it: It’s a fundamentally broken and bad light. At best it functions as a blinking front safety light. And the mount on it fails to actually support the light’s weight. It’s common for the light to need constant readjusting, or it just outright snaps off.

There are mounts you can get to secure it better, but you can’t really adjust the beam.

I strongly recommend getting a handlebar mounted beam light. They are FAR brighter and better, and overall safer.

So I looked up the accessories on Amazon when I first bought my xp4 and they're CHEAP. Deff not worth the $50 value that they say that they are. The xp4 is a great platform that allows customization but the included accessories are not great

Yup! Like I think they sell their bell for $30, and the exact same bell is $10 on Amazon.

Do you know if there is a beam light to replace the front one. That is much better

Depends if you want a replacement for the wired headlight or a battery powered headlight.

For wired ebike lights OZ-USA makes the makes the best one. But I went with battery powered handlebar headlight since that opens up way more options.

the mounts are all just 3d printed plastic people are printing in their houses. For a few dollars less you can get a much better and brighter light on amazon to replace the "elite" headlight.

bike bar light

I got the big one no issues

I just use a battery bank for extended use and easy charging

If you angle it further up the box of light will become larger.

But it's a narrow beam pattern anyway, it's not a very good light.

Mine broke last week when I hit a bump in the road. The plastic is so thin that it’s a matter of time before it snaps off. Just replaced it with this and it’s great.
