Another innovation from motogadget: the mo.button.
It's a big help - in combination with the new mo.unit blue, basic and mo.unit v.2 - in reducing 'cable clutter' and simplifying wiring harnesses.
Integrated into the handlebar tube - or any other adequate location - this tiny cylinder will electrically connect all handlebar instruments, switches and buttons.
Using state-of-the-art bus technology, the mo.button digitally processes signals and transmits them to the mo.unit over a thin cable.
The electrical consumers will then be switched inside the mo.unit.
All control wires are moved into the handlebar. This saves space, weight, labour and time. A 'must have' for custom bikes with clean-look handlebars.
In simple facts:
a) normally, the operating current (e.g. headlight or turn signals) is transmitted directly via the wiring of the handlebar switches. Due to the high currents, cables with large cross-sections have to be routed from the fuse box to the switch and back to the electrical consumer.
The result: big cable bundles. Definitely, a 'no go' for custom bikes with restricted space or a concealed electrical system.
b) using the mo.unit without the mo.button, just a thin cable for each switch- or button-controlled feature has to be routed to the mo.unit. These cables only carry minimal control currents. All high loads and currents are switched directly at the mo.unit and transmitted directly to the electrical consumers. This already leads to a significant reduction and simplification of the wiring harness.
c) using the mo.unit blue, basic or mo.unit v.2 in combination with the tiny mo.button, you will once again reduce the amount of cables that have to be routed! All switches/buttons on the handlebar are connected at the shortest distance possible and concealed inside the handlebar. Consequently, you will have to route only ONE thin cable from the mo.button to the mo.unit. All loads and currents will be switched directly at the mo.unit (see explanations above). A layout reduced to the max!
The mo.button is completely moulded in, making it water-tight and resistant to vibrations.
The mo.button is equipped with connections for
- turn signal, left side
- turn signal, right side
- headlight (low beam and high beam)
- E-starter
- horn
- brake light switch, front brake
mo.button – dimensions
Diameter: 12 mm
Length: 25 mm
Cable length: approx. 60 cm
Connecting cable to mo.unit: approx. 200 cm
Weight: approx. 30 g
Attention: The only intended use of the mo.button is in combination with mo.unit blue, basic or mo.unit v.2.
