Electrical Guide Overview
ONYX electrical topics are centered around the 12V system and accessory integration.
For most riders, the important areas are:
- understanding how the 12V system works
- safely tapping power for accessories
- configuring displays and instrumentation
- adding mounts, cameras, and tracking devices
This page organizes those areas into a single index.

12V Electrical System
The ONYX platform uses a DC-DC converter to step pack voltage down to 12V for accessories, lighting, and control systems.
ONYX Wiring Guide
This guide explains how to safely access and use the 12V system, including:
- DC-DC converter limits
- safe wiring practices
- fuse planning
- relay usage
- common tap points
Displays & Instrumentation
Display configuration affects how the rider interacts with the bike.
ONYX Display Configuration
This guide explains how to configure display settings, adjust units, and understand available readouts.
ONYX GPS Performance Meter
This guide explains how to measure real-world speed and performance using GPS-based tools.
Accessories & Mounting
Accessories are typically powered through the 12V system and mounted to improve usability.
ONYX Quad Lock
This guide covers secure phone mounting solutions for navigation and daily riding.
ONYX Action Cameras
This guide explains camera mounting options and considerations for recording rides.
Software & Downloads
Some ONYX tools and features rely on external software, apps, or shared resources.
ONYX Community Downloads

Electrical System Basics
At a high level, ONYX electrical systems operate in two layers:
| System | Voltage | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Traction system | 72V / 80V | Drives the motor |
| Accessory system | 12V | Powers lights, display, accessories |
Most rider modifications happen on the 12V system, not the high-voltage drivetrain.
Understanding this distinction is important before installing any accessories.
