Observations from a new to tadpole trike rider.

First of all great majority of Chinese goods are overhyped junk. The fact you have them all over your house means nothing. I have some Chinese goods in my house too, but the great majority of what I own is not made in China. Second, they are all made in a regime controlled communist country. "Red Chinese units" is as accurate description as it can be. Actually it should be Red Chinese junk. If you buy something made in China you should always cut stated parameters in half and assume that you will have to fix it before you use it. It is clear from your posts that you have some internal problems and by calling someone racist you are trying to shift these problems on others. This will not work. Disclaimer: I was born and raised in a communist country. What I know you will never get from books or computer or TV.

Perhaps you are correct.

But is it better to push the issue or to let it fade? This is intended to be a forum about electric vehicles, and bringing in other topics could make that unavailable (which was my mistake).

Being so low to the ground, I really sense this problem. Do you think that a series of high-powered rear flashers are enough? I'm thinking of something a little bit beyond the normal blinky lights that are sold to average bicycle riders. I don't ride in what I would call traffic normally, but I do ride on streets. So the occasional car is a concern. So I'm more concerned about cars just not seeing me in open stretches of road, rather than the problem of being to the right of a car and the car makes a right turn problem, which is far more dangerous, I guess.

Sorry for this necro response, however, I found a MODULATOR to really made me visible. I'm trying to sort a tower light with a modulating bulb, IMO A modulator really increases rider visibility by causing headlights to flicker
That flicker really got attention.

I'm refitting a tadpole trike with hydraulic brakes and leaning front wheels. I've been modifying and riding E-bikes since 2001, but a recent loss of balance has had me off them for almost a year. Fingers crossed for the Tadpole...
