Anybody else using their USX for rehabilitation?   Message List

Re: [ez3-usx] Re: Anybody else using their USX for rehabilitation?

I recently put a front and rear dynamo light on my USX. I got the kit
off of EBay and had to extend the wiring, but I'll never have to
replace a battery. I have copied the web address below of the company
that sells these.
