I have been thinking about making a sort of hood for country road riding. The sort of hood that was popular on old Beetles. Not optimal by any stretch, but I would like a stronger front light, it has to be li-ion, and I want it to have an external battery, not one inbuilt. I like the Hope R1 - especially since I can get a really nice tail light to run off of the same battery, and I can have a huge battery pack for when that is needed (touring), and a smaller one for everyday commuting/utility use.
