Building system in electric bike
I have an Energica fully electric motorbike and like to install the combined camera, radar system.
The bike has no 12 volt battery and converts 400 volt to 12 volt when switched on.
Understood the system must be connected to 12 v constant and 12 volt avalable after starting the bike.
Can I just connect the system, both wires, at the 12 volt avalable only after switching on the bike.
I understand normal, car, dashcam, like constant 12 volt to save the last recording cleanly.
Not sure if my setup will cause problems.
If yes, I will purchase the system without camera’s

Hi Pedro,
What you can do is place a switch in the yellow wire.
The sequence for switching on and off would then be:
Switch on:- switch on motor (12 volts comes on)
- switch on the yellow wire using the switch
- RC6 turns on
Switch off:
- switch off the yellow wire with the switch
- wait until the RC6 is switched off
- switch off the motor (12 volts goes off)
Okay, it is a bit cumbersome and you might forget to flip the switch in the yellow wire once in a while. But this way, you can properly start and switch off the RC6.

Hi Hans, thanks for the suggestions.
As this is bought mainly for the safety I do not want to take the risk forgetting to turn it on. Maybe look for backup battery often used with dashcam.

Hi Pedro,
The point you need to pay attention to is that the RC6 is started up correctly. And perhaps even more importantly, that the RC6 is turned off correctly.
If the RC6 is not turned off correctly, this can cause problems. So always ensure that the RC6 is switched off via the yellow trigger wire.
Simply removing the power from the red and black wires can cause the last recording in progress not to be terminated properly and therefore become unplayable. Additionally, the SD card can become corrupted, resulting in the RC6 malfunctioning or ceasing to function altogether.
