    I've fitted the new BUMM IQ FLY E that works with batteries between 6 and 42V for use on electrified bikes. It is essentially a CYO R in different packaging, with protection circuits, and a passthrough controller for a dumb rear LED light. (Except the Linetek lights aren't dumb, they have stand...
