TurboTap - Upcoming Product Design Blog

TurboTap products under design:

• Low/High Light, Horn and rocker turn switch (HLLHRTS) which replaces the stock light and horn switch. The uplift provides
  
  
  • Provides rocker switch mechanism for turn signal.
  • More positive feel buttons.
  • Either:
    • Potential to turn off all lights (including DRL) and/or turn off headlight separate to other lights.
    • May provide a low-high beam toggle switch (when used in conjunction with a 2x2 switch mech).
• 2x2 switch stack. The modular design provides 4 switch mechanisms (two sets of two) that service the purpose of::
  
  
  • Module #1:
    1. In Position I, NFC Bypass is active. In central position, both are off, in Position II there will be always on power output - for motion alarm and/or charging of accessories (allows you to charge peripherals while scooter is charging.
    2. Either
       1. Headlight on/off switch (or switch to switch between headlights - to be determined dependant on high/low toggle switch on HLLHRTS.
       2. Throttle selector (Left / None / Right) also acts as a additional factor in NFC switching.
  • Module #2
    1. Power-on switched output - typically used for USB Dashboard
    2. Power-on switched output - for any other auxiliary output, such as Lithium Voltage meter.

The modules provides convenient low/high beam switching for stock, or additional aftermarket lights and compliments the plug-and-play TurboTorch M8 models of Cobra and Bushmaster.

Rough/draft functional schematic showing the three switches and input/output cables.

The lithium battery voltage meter shown below is undergoing testing to best determine where it should interconnect. It will likely use the same type of connector as the headlight (M8 2-pin red). It will likely connect to switched outputs on switch #2 (or #1), alternatively a dedicated power-ON connector could be added to the design of any (or all three) switching modules. More design through required. The USB Dashboard shown on the right will likely not adopt that particular 9-90V buck convertor as they are likely unable to sustain current required for QC3.0 and PD (Power Delivery) fast charging. It will also have switch on front adjacent to USB-A and USB-C ports.
