I found that I never needed my spare so far at least so I converted my spare tire carrier to a cooler carrier. It works great, I even stand on it to get to the top of the cruiser. I redid an old military trailer for whenever going off trail, then maybe I'll carry a tire. Best bet maybe to...

I found that although the one wire has to reach a certain rpm to kick on the charging process, once it does, even if it falls down to idle, it still charges. This was a nice surprise.
