The brake light comes on as soon as the key is put to the "on" position.
um yeh...thats when its supposed to come on. when you said "its on all the time" we assumed you meant even with the key out.

Well I know I rewired the tail light correctly, so check it out by the handle bars?

No.... You know in any vehicle when you press the brake the tail light brightens to show that your braking? Mine is always showing that its braking, and never dimmed. Which is annoying because cars behind me can't tell if I am braking in the night, which terrifies me.

Hello: Like motormike said. one of the brake lever tail light switches is on all the time. If you don't have to pull one of the levers to start the scoot, then that would tell you if ones on all the time, not which one though

That thought never crossed my mind. I will go check that out. Hopefully I can get it fixed. and I still have to wire the signals.

looks like a good idea to me. Just make a box for your battery and you should be good to go. The only thing I would worry about is could it harm your charging system.

I am making a box cubby hole thing to put on the back, replacing the rack. And this battery doesn't stay over night, or in rain.

Make a top for home made battery box and make sure you have no draw on the battery when every thing is turned off . Then you will be ok to leave it in the rain or over night.

Well for now this will do, this isn't going to be a permanent battery. We aren't expecting rain for the next few days. I would just put it in the battery hole that's on there (after removing plastic holder) but this battery is still too tall :(

Okay I found out why my tail light was always on. I believe the tail light is a dual filament bulb, and today, in class it hit me. I was like "wait, Clint is so d*** dumb, he probably put a turn signal in the tail light!"

Lo and behold, its indeed a single filament bulb, that turned out being a turn signal. Now, to find a dual filament bulb >.<

Lol I only wish you could have have seen how rigged this scooter was when I got it. He is a giant hick. This was in perfect condition before he got it, and then he had it for a few months and ruined it.
