Do we need to do anything to activate it? I plugged them into the bike, nothing turns on.

Make sure the batteries are positioned correctly. I had the same problem and then reversed the batteries. It's been working great since then.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

you can connect them to the headlight circuit or add a switch connected to the battery ,you just need to remember to shut-off when leaving you bike or car. the black and red wires need to be connected the + & - (red= + side,black= - side) of the battery or headlight circuit, they could use just the red to the headlights and black to the chassis ground of the bike or car., this is contingent on whether you're going to install them on a bike or car.

You have to push and hold the button on some of them for a few seconds. If it does not turn on, there are issues with the battery. Sorry it took so long to answer, I do not check this account often.

They work once you take them out of the box and turn 'em on!:) Which was great for me cause when I got them, I wanted to use them right away!!

You need to be able to plug them into a wall socket of some sort. They are electrical.

I think its best not to wait for them. I figured out an alternative. I got a cable that's used for the bike breaks. Its more durable.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

Hook it up to the Battery and strap end of cable somewhere you can plug the cable in on the bike.. Not hard to figure out..

They probably need to be re charged. Mine still work fine. If it allFails try re- pairing ot to your device

I had to charge the batteries after I got them and they work fine. Try charging them.

Please make sure you open the battery cover and plug the cable into the battery. I bought three over 18 months ago, they worked straight out of the box and are still working.I purchase three more about 2 months ago and had to return them. I nevr could get them to work. First editon was GREAT and still going; they did an upgrade and new ones need work.

Have you tried checking them out alone, one at-a-time? If they don't work, then return them . Each one has a power button on the back, check to make sure it is on.

I just plugged mine in while power is off on motorcycle. There's no indication its charging, no light or sign its charging, but after a few hours its good to go.

I also have 2 bikes, both bikes have 12 volt cigarettes style power adapters. A got a power plug from Radio Shack and wired the power cord to that. I also purchased an extra ball joint attachment so I have one attached on each bike. Plug and play now.

Same here. They just stopped working for me a week ago. Green light is on showing a full charge, but that's it.
