Popular Post who_the Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Starting a thread for accessories, mostly lighting but also others, compatible with the front and rear plugs and/or mounts for the Veteran Sherman. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post who_the Posted June 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Before I add any accessories I will say it's a tad disappointing the Sherm doesn't have at least one USB, or, even better, USB-C port to power accessories and/or charging. A single or dual USB or USB-C port would be a nice upgrade. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Agreed, I don’t want a ton of gadgets but USB charger is nice for when the phone goes empty from running GPS and you’re far out in the wilderness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Kim Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Anything that can support 12V within its operating range and a horizontal mount can be made to work with the Sherman. Also, there are literally NO headlights/taillights that come with an L-shaped 3.5mm jack as standard issue (aside from Veteran factory replacements) so you will undoubtedly be soldering your own connections. It looks to be pretty straightforward though, positive, negative, switch, for the 3 poles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Esbu Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Although my Sherman had not been delivered yet, I ordered another front light And for safer riding want to add two lasers - tail laser connect to rear light and front laser connect to speaker for speed alarm "light beeps". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice! I ordered the slightly larger 5" version of this light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I may go with this light when my Veteran gets delivered. There are truly many possibilities with this modular system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mango Posted July 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2020 Crash bar protection for the Sherman. These can be put on the sides, and maybe the top to give a little more clearance for the LCD in the event of a roll. Sold on Aliexpress. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for something similar; flat sided, so the crash bar could function as a stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking at something for mine too. Having blue lights is a definite NO-NO for me. USA law is very explicit on this and I definitely DO NOT need to give the officers any excuse to pull me over. Even if there's no laws on the books about an euc in my town, there still the ability for leo to enforce lighting and speed law, regardless of the vehicle type. I may try to open the headlight and unsolder the blue leds. Blue, and front facing red... not a good plan imho.

I do not want to look like one wheeled police patrol. Instead blue leds has "led frame" called "angel eye" for daily lighting which is much better for me. This light has 20W power (Inmotion's V11 "car grade" has 18W). I searched for light with three wires (3pin jack connector), with three modes: light1, light2, together. Hope it will work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were my thoughts as well. I really didn't care for the flashing lights no matter what color they are. I purchased (link below) the same light just slightly larger. I believe there will be ample space for it. The angel eye is exactly what I wanted in a light. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000120492190.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d654c4dD7J9MJ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..... Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2020 Maybe the euc companies will look to the auto industry a little closer. Its NO SECRET about the laws for cars. It aint like most manufacturers don't pay close attention to this, if they want their vehicles to be shipped across the world. Theres also regulation regarding intensity of beam. I HATE these new projector lenses, especially when aimed too high. Its not fair to blind ME, just because YOU want to see better. I think we are seeing companies push the limits of both legality and courtesy, when it comes to lighting. Details, details! Keep us posted with the lights you end up with. At least with the sherman, it seems possible to aim the lights low, to offset the fact that these aftermarket lights are a little bit too bright. Even if total lumen output isnt too much, focal intensity sometimes is. Just dont forget, when you brake, the euc tilts back. Gotta aim low enough that even under hard braking, you arent being a total dick to the retinas of the cars in front of you.. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was in my target too, but I decided for smaller due to dimensions. I like challenge to find operational accessories behind keyboard especially when I never saw Sherman on my own 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The beam pattern on this light appears very similar to the light on the V11, with the top flat in order to avoid blinding other. Uaffc42a31d3b485ca107faf953ab6c3dk.webp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leds change instead tungsten bulb is very popular. I was surprised months ago, I was blinded in my car by a tram. Why tram need more light than before while whole night city is enlightened? I understand leds are cheaper, but there is need to care about change in power, luminous flux, etc. Edited July 6, 2020 by Esbu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoPig Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Figured with the extra range I could probably do with a phone / sat nav holder. Clamp onto the front bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Might not be a bad idea to place one of these (hidden) somewhere in the housing just in case your wheel gets stolen. Small investment for some peace of mind. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W87124X/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_lKgbFb7Y7RBSM Edited July 7, 2020 by Shield 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee bar holders for every damn thing! Shouldnt be too long before some nerd figures out how to add an amazing oled screen, along with a lazer light show... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, it is recommended to charge Sherman using both ports 2x 5A, not 10A through one port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Single 10 amp charger with 2 ports would be an essential piece of equipment for long distance Sherman riders. I would not want to carry two chargers with me and having to look for two nearby open electrical sockets. Someone, make it happen! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
