I hooked a power inverter to the battery so I'm definitely mobile.

Wait, how'd you do that? I've been wanting to do that but I didn't know how. Of course I have louds of LEDs on my scooter already, but they aren't Christmassy enough.

I stripped the wires on a power inverter (the thing you can plug in a cigarette lighter) and wired it directly to the battery. The box for the inverter is kinda big, so I zip-tied it to my spare tire. It even has an on/off switch.

I would do the same to mine, but I don't think anybody would care since the lights would be under the cover that is protecting my scooter from the snow all winter

One of the HOS got the HO HO HO spirit! Dang that looks AWESOME! lmyers, I wanna see the cowl quilt, please.

KRUSTYburger, I found some D, AA, and AAA battery-run light strands at Xmas stores, craft stores, and even IKEA. That's what I've got on mine. I'm too much of a Lazy A$$hole to do all that electronic jawn.

Hey, PI, did you tart up Pinky or Leather? Pictures, please.

Leather got her named changed to Ditto. It just seemed to fit better. And she's due for a wee bit o' tartan in a day or two.

Here's Pinky T:

I'm glad I did her first because I learned that I should wrap the lights tighter in order to use less zipties. Also, I'm bummed that my front rack is so shabby. Here's to hoping I win a new one from all the Scooterworks fangrrling I'm doing on Facebook & Twitter!

Charles and I both won something, so I think chances are good you can too.
I used those big paper clamps to secure the lights around my legshield. Not the best option, but it will for the next week or so
