The final component from the cheap eBay quad/scooter wiring loom. It's the key switch that is mostly a visual deterrent to the casual thief.
Before opening it to look at its construction I decided to do a "lock picking lawyer" and have a go at picking it first.
Here's a link to the lock picking lawyer's channel:-

A professional would bypass something like this very easily at an electrical level.
One of the best things to do for security could be adding a simple hidden switch across the kill circuit elsewhere on the bike. Even with the key switch bypassed or unplugged, the bike would only be able to be started by turning the secret killswitch off.
I'm almost sad that I've taken apart the last component on the wiring loom. It was a lot of fun reverse engineering all the components.
For those asking about the cable, it does appear to be copper, and while not being a high current wire (other than the starter cables) it is probably adequate for the job.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Hi does this work like a normal switch because I’d like to know if it will work with my e-bike thanks for your help and very nice informative video by the way 👍🏾
video I’ve been lookin go for 👍🏽
Dude I could kiss you. I been looking how by pass..
Using a 2 wire key for on/off coil kill switch. Problem: Key in on position = grounded closed circuit. No start. Key in off position( normal open) bike will start.. Fix: Remove bottom cap with small screwdriver. Flip brass rotary contact bar and replace 2 springs in corresponding holes with contact bar lugs. Replace end cap. Check for continuity. Now, the key switch will be normally closed in the off position and normally open when key in on position.
Hey boss I ordered a stealth bomber bike from ali baba the ignition lock all the plastic around it broke off and I can't fit the ignition through the hole it's insecure what should I do
Shoutout to all the mandem learning new skills 🤓
Where u buy at link plss
PLEASE HELP ! Can anyone link me to a cheap lock picking kit so I can retrieve the key I accidentally shut under the seat of my puma valentine 150cc moped???? 🙁
For those not inclined to pick the lock or hotwire (still won't disengage lock steering) a small screwdriver and hammer work great. Take it out in a few pieces. This advice is only for legal owners, anyone dumb enough to ride a stolen bike (period really) without an ignition deserves to get caught.
i’m missing my key to my Roketa Cayman 150. How would i unlock the seat and the gas take so i can change the locks?
What is the keyway?
Probably the hardest lock to pick ,u cld pick that with a v key or a pen knife ,
Forgot to shim that one, that's for sure!!😂
Great vid again and nice to see some picking.
We have a big picking community here in the UK.
Two of my favorite things in one video.
Thanks Clive.👍🏼👍🏼
Nothing on 1, click on pin 2, pin 3 is binding… and we have this open. But you didn't prove it wasn't a fluke mate. 😉
Great video I really enjoyed it👍
