Tao motors tbr7 2020

Borg,

There is a Youtuber who has a small LED bar on his TBR7

Search for "Tao tbr7 4,000mile review" on Youtube

Problem is , he just mentions it in his video..does not specify where, how much, how he wired it etc.

MEGADAN lists the following for the HAWK in his Hawk reference thread (an absolute must read IMHO) .....I can't say it's the same but most likely is....
LED Headlight bulbs. This is a "take your pick" section. The Hawk uses an H4 bulb. I personally love the fanless LED gen 2 and gen 3 headlamps from SuperbrightLED's

This style has a built in driver, so there is no extra box to deal with or mount. https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ens/3930/8566/

I think the tbr7 is an H6 unfortunately

I found the light to be 4 feet in front of me when it arrived, once adjusted I am getting about 15-20 feet on low beam and about 25ish feet on high beam

Awesome.... thanks

Specs per CSC (good for most of the Hawk style bikes).
Rear Caliper bolt torque. 18-22ft-lbs. (medium strength loctite)
Rear Axle Torque. 35 ft-lbs.
Front Caliper Bolt torque, 18-22ft-lbs (medium strength loctite)
Front Axle bolt torque. 35ft-lbs

Triple Tree Top nut torque: 50ft-lbs

I subscribe to all of those torque values, though I worry about that rear axel spec.

I tightened mine to 50 lbs

I have read posts from Dan encouraging to be cautious about overtightening the rear axle because the swing arm can warp.

Still 35 lbs feel so light ( even with threadlock ).

Happy to be wrong and I probably am.

I pulled that from a post from none other than Megadan.... but thought it was some good info because when I did mine i did the "that feels about close enough" method and usually that means to tight...

Does anyone know how to raise the seat height of a 2020 Taotao Tbr 7? The stock seat height I believe is 35. I am 6’5 and weigh 215 pounds so I feel like it will lower over time. I would like to get the seat height to atleast 38-39 if possible. Any tips are appreciated!

Regarding tires for the TBR7, searching for 3.25×19 front tires will yield a much better selection.
