still have a 74 atc 70 that is in great shape, bought it for my 1yr olds birthday last month.
did some tinkering on it and went out after dark to ride,

question;
can I add some lights , more for being seen than to see on this trike with out causing problems to the electrical system?

think I would just rig up some small light system?

again, would love to hear from those who know & not those who blo..

i wouldent add too much personally. maby spen the money and go with LED'S they dont draw much at all and that is best in this case. but i would be leary of more lights.

What do you mean "more lights"? The atc70 didn't have any lights did they?
I too was wondering about putting a head and tail light on my daughters ride for when we head to the snow. Technically, it's a requirement, but I'm not sure how that works when the machine was manufactured without one???
Still it would be safer for everyone involved if there were a light on the darn thing. I bet Kasey knows the answer to this one................Kasey?????????

why yes i do!! atc70's have lighting coils!!! there is a plug that comes from the stator slip on ends is all you need!! get a switch and some lights!!! plenty of power for a good headlight
