SPIDER Automation | Electric Tricycle Three-Function Combination Switch | Horn, Turn Indicators & Headlight Control
The SPIDER Automation Electric Tricycle Combination Switch is a multi-function handlebar control designed to operate the horn, turn indicators and headlight in compatible electric tricycle electrical systems. It combines three frequently used vehicle controls into one switch assembly, helping keep essential functions accessible to the rider.
The switch features an aluminium alloy body and is designed for electric tricycle applications with a matching wiring arrangement. The package contains two switch units, making it suitable for installations or replacement requirements where a pair is needed.
Important compatibility restriction: This product is intended for electric tricycles. It is not suitable for two-wheeled vehicles because their wiring configurations differ. Electrical compatibility must be established before installation.
Product Overview & Three-Function Control
A combination switch brings multiple vehicle control functions together in a single handlebar-mounted assembly. This model is designed to operate three electrical functions used in electric tricycles: the horn, turn indicators and headlight.
The integrated arrangement provides a central control point for the vehicle’s audible warning and lighting circuits. Instead of using separate individual switches for each function, the rider can operate these controls through the combination switch assembly.
Technical Features & Functional Characteristics
- Three-Function Integration: Combines horn, direction-indicator and headlight switching functions in one assembly.
- Horn Control: Provides a handlebar-operated switch function for the compatible electric tricycle horn circuit.
- Turn-Indicator Control: Provides switching control for the vehicle’s direction-indicator circuit.
- Headlight Control: Allows the rider to operate the compatible headlight circuit from the handlebar.
- Aluminium Alloy Body: Uses an aluminium alloy construction for the switch housing.
- Low-Power Switching Design: Intended to operate vehicle control circuits rather than act as a direct high-current power supply.
- Handlebar Control Arrangement: Keeps the three specified functions accessible to the rider during vehicle operation.
- Two-Unit Package: Supplied as a set of two combination switches.
Horn, Turn Indicator & Headlight Functions
The combination switch brings together three separate control functions. Each function operates its corresponding vehicle circuit when connected to a compatible electrical system.
- Horn: Provides the switching input for operating the electric tricycle’s audible warning device.
- Direction Indicators: Provides the control input for the vehicle’s turn-indicator circuit.
- Headlight: Provides the switching input for controlling the vehicle’s headlight circuit.
The switch provides the control interface; the horn, indicator lamps and headlight are separate vehicle components connected through their respective circuits.
Aluminium Alloy Construction
The switch body is made from aluminium alloy. Its metal construction provides a solid housing for the integrated control assembly and is suited to handlebar-mounted vehicle applications.
The product is designed as a compact control accessory for electric tricycles. Exact housing dimensions, mounting diameter and handlebar clamp specifications are not included in the available product details, so the physical mounting arrangement should be checked against the intended vehicle.
Electrical Compatibility & Wiring Configuration
This combination switch is specifically intended for electric tricycle wiring systems. The source description explicitly states that it cannot be used on two-wheeled vehicles because their wiring arrangements are different.
The switch’s wire colours, connector type, pin assignment, operating voltage and individual contact ratings are not provided. Compatibility should therefore be established using the vehicle’s wiring diagram and the switch’s actual terminal arrangement before connection.
The horn, indicator and headlight circuits must be matched to the corresponding switch functions. The switch should not be assumed to connect directly to high-current loads unless the electrical ratings confirm that arrangement.
Applications
This combination switch is intended for electric tricycle installations that require integrated handlebar control of the horn, direction indicators and headlight.
- Electric Passenger Tricycles: Combines essential horn and lighting controls for compatible passenger-carrying electric tricycles.
- Electric Cargo Tricycles: Provides centralised switching for the horn, turn indicators and headlight on compatible cargo vehicles.
- Electric Utility Tricycles: Offers integrated handlebar control for the specified electrical functions in suitable utility platforms.
- Electric Rickshaw-Type Tricycles: Can be used in compatible three-wheel electric vehicle wiring systems that support this switch arrangement.
- Replacement Switch Installations: Suitable as a replacement where the existing electric tricycle switch uses a matching mechanical and electrical configuration.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
Install this combination switch only on an electric tricycle with a matching wiring configuration. Before connecting it, identify the horn, indicator and headlight circuits and confirm that the switch terminals correspond to the vehicle’s electrical system.
- Confirm Vehicle Compatibility: Use this switch for compatible electric tricycles. Do not use it as a direct replacement for a two-wheeled vehicle’s switch assembly.
- Check the Wiring Diagram: Identify the horn, turn-indicator and headlight connections from the vehicle’s wiring documentation before installation.
- Identify the Terminals: Confirm the terminal and connector arrangement rather than assuming wire colours or pin positions.
- Match the Electrical Ratings: Verify the vehicle’s operating voltage and circuit requirements against the switch’s electrical ratings before connecting it.
- Secure the Mounting: Fit the switch assembly firmly in its intended handlebar position and ensure it does not interfere with steering or other controls.
- Route Wiring Carefully: Keep the wiring clear of moving parts, sharp edges and locations where repeated handlebar movement could strain the cable.
- Test Each Function: Check horn operation, left/right indicator response and headlight switching individually after installation.
- Use Suitable Load Switching: Ensure the switch is connected according to its electrical ratings and the vehicle’s circuit design. Use appropriate relays where required by the system.
