I wonder what the amp draw is for one of those. I don't want to do the horn relay thing. Just do a direct pull from a 4amphr sealed lead acid battery. I really do need a horn the bell cant be heard over the engine and cars tend to ignore me. I was thinking maybe moped horn. |

I've seen loud air horns that you can refill with your air compresser. I'll try to search on the next tommarrow. |

They have those on ebay. The ones i saw are too large for my little bike the bottle looks like a coke bottle.
I have the battery already on so I would prefer to go with a small electric horn.

I bought a vespa 6volt moped horn. When it arrives I get to try to make it work off my sla battery. Cost me 7bucks including shipping. I went this route because i was afraid the car horn would require more amps. There is a reason they use relays on those things they throw the whole batter load at it.
I was probably wrong but then again this might be the same way. |

I'd like to add an old-styled ooga horn on my old Schwinn. The only ones I have found are 12 volt. Has anyone else tried something like this? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
