    Flat battery. I'd imagine the reason the head/tail lights work is because the generator powers them directly and not through the battery. My first bike was like that - if the engine stalled then the lights would go out :eek:

    Anyway, in your case I'd suggest having a look at the battery, if it's not the totally sealed type it might need topping up with distilled water (NOT anything that came out of a tap) to the correct level, and then charge it. If that doesn't sort it then the battery is knackered and needs replacing.

    Many car battery chargers are too powerful for bike batteries, if the battery overheats it can explode! You want a 'trickle' charger (any decent car shop will have one). Also make sure you get a 6 volt charger if it's a 6 volt battery.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.
