Description

This mount is inserted into the USB port hole at the front, and fixed in place using the mounting bracket in the back. Yep, you need to sacrifice USB ports to install this mount. Although, in the future, I will probably make a version that passes wires through the hole below the USB port, and leaves as much room as possible for USB, but it will not be as robust as the one that sacrifices them.

 

Note 1: this mount uses an M5 screw hole and is made for a headlight that uses a 3 cm wide mounting.

Note 2: you need to force an M5 screw through mounting holes, because it is not large enough to make a screw easily go through it. Reason for this is to release some pressure from the mount that will be induced by the nut that holds the whole thing together, by moving some pressure from the nut to the plastic that the mount is made from, and the nut can be tightened not as much.

Note 3: Print the mount in ABS or any other material that is resistant to bending and can withstand an impact in case of a fall

 

Assembly guide

 

Step 1: Get access to the front bumper of your KS14

There is a video from KingSong on how to disassemble the wheel, but you don't need to take of the pedals to get access to the front bumper. You just need to take off side panels and unscrew the bumper itself, and the video will be your guide on how to do it:

Step 2: Install the mount

  1. Unscrew the USB board from the bumper, remove the board.
  2. Install the mount in the USB port hole, make sure the thingy at the back of the mount goes through the hole lower that the USB port was. Make sure that it's all the way in, it's a very snug fit.
  3. Slide the mounting bracket through the hole in the back of the mount and align it so it touches both screw holes that were used for the USB board.

Step 3: Install the headlight

  1. Use an M5 screw and force it through one side by pushing and at the same time trying to screw in the screw. Reason for this inconvenience is explained in Note 2.
    Pro tip: use an electric screwdriver to do this, makes it much easier to push through.
  2. Align the headlight inside of the mount and continue screwing in.
  3. When the screw is visible on the other side of the headlight, align the other hole of the mount and do the same thing you rid for the first hole.
  4. Install a nut on the other side, and don't tighten it much. Tighten until you feel it's pretty solid and doesn't deform the plastic too much.
  5. Pass wires that come off the headlight through the wire passthrough hole on top of the mount.

Step 4: Assemble the wheel back

Using the same video that you used earlier to disassemble the wheel you should be able to put it back together.

 

And you're done! You have a custom headlight installed!

I'm also gonna make a schematic for the electrical system that should power and control the headlight and share it here, so stay tuned!
