Lavabo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hello Im trying to find a way to make spark when my pedals touch ground! Magnesium fire starter i guess would work, but i think titanium screw are a better idea. Anyway was just wondering if someone did this Mods already!

Kens Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Sounds cool! Also sounds dangerous.. Might catch the ground and throw you off the wheel even at low speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use it, but for this purpose what I would have used is sparking pads meant for longboard gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJackCrash Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The welding spark ignitors would work. Replacement sparkers could be mounted on springs mounted to the bottom of the pedals. The sparkers would hit the ground before the pedal and just fold under avoiding a fall. The spring-mounted sparkers would also make a noise alerting the rider, “sharp sparking turn”. Simply unscrew them when not needed.
