Flashlights for headlights and marker lights

[Cartinfun]

I dont want to bother with getting a 12v battery and using normal 12v lights. Anyone use flashlights and mounts for bike handlebars? I am kinda into flashlights so I have a decent amount of them and their batteries, figured just use them.

Anyone have experience doing this? Suggestions?

This one is looking the most robust. A big downside I'm seeing is that many of them are plastic and I can't imagine they will hold up very long on a go kart.

I hear yeah there. But, I remember riding 4 wheelers as a kid with my family, we would go on night rides sometimes, way slower speeds, and it was tons of fun. Totally different feel.

Coyotes are my favorite! They are very intelligent. I had a coyote/pit bull mix, she was super intelligent. Like little kid smart!

Lots of ‘em in my back woods, sometimes you here yell at sirens.

Yeah, my house backs up to a rock quarry and then there is state trust land on two sides of my neighborhood. Needless to say, we are often serenaded to sleep by coyotes.

I'm with red, when the sun goes down the karts go on the trailer and we head for home. But on mounting question, we ride caravan style at times and it's important to know if someone has dropped off or run into trouble, so I have equipped my mini bike and a couple of the karts with rear view mirrors. The plastic bicycle stuff has not held up. I've had brand new ones fall or rattle off in
less then 15 minutes. The much more expensive motorcycle ones hold up fine.

I’m pretty close to a hospital so they yell a lot. Especially in the summer, they get restless.

Wait.... what is doing the yelling? Hospital patients or coyotes? What kind of "hospital" do you live by?

Good call, I actually thought of mirrors as well. I will keep motorcycle mirrors in mind.

The coyotes! I‘m not that close to the hospital and I’m not anywhere close to Denny’s hospital.
