that might be the knock off light but is the same style i have
and the switch does not have high and low beam from what i see
but the price is cheap
plus stock 50's dont have a wraped stator for power but you can do it yourself
or buy one for $70

if you look just above the yellow start button that looks like a hi-lo switch. i dunno for $50 i think it would be worth it . i just want to screw around and have some fun without droping alot of coin. i just bought a turbo for my bike so a fiddy is suposed to be the cheap fun.

well after saying i didnt want to drop a lot of money on this thing. i just ordered a throttle,rear brake cable for a hand set up,stunt pegs all from 50 stunt so at least i can practice how to fall gracefully.

10000% easier with the rear handbrake! Those things are to small for me to use the pedal.
