1 - Key Fob
Nick Busse from the Braaap FB Group made this key fob
“Created a small quality of life improvement for myself today. I almost exclusively start my MotoE using the remote, but still need the key for the steering lock. So this is my attempt to save some pocket space and combine the two. It’s a little rough around the edges but I consider this a successful first draft.” Nick.

Nick has provided the STL files you can use to print. They are provided as is.
2 - Luggage
Start simple, and expand
Rear set luggage. I’m going all out. $29 for a bag.

Extend length of mirrors
Yes yes, you can buy mirror extensions cheap online. But I just love making things.

5 - Space
Space inside the bike could be used
There is quite a lot of space inside the bike. Could be usd for things.
Rear Seat
This has a lot of space, but is mostly taken up with plastic around the back. Inside that space would be perfect for a small toolkit and emergency kit (bandages etc) - however it would fall through and be unsafe. I need to look at creating a closed space, probably using canvas, to store those things.
Battery compartment

6 - Windscreen
Hard to see the dash
It is really hard to see the dash in the daytime. You can purchase a black windscreen.
DIY
A facebook post suggests removing the screen and painting it black on the inside. Definitely doing that.
Done
Remove mirrors. Lift from the back, unclips at the front.
I taped up the rough part, to only pain the smooth. But I think it be better to do the lot.
Inside
Outside
Installed and looking lovely.
Conclusion
In hindsight I probably would have not bothered taping, and sprayed it all. Good news is, I still can. It looks fantastic.
