Hoppy converter

I saw a Hopkins converter at Wal-Mart for around $10.00. Surely this isn't the same as the Hoppy converter referred to on this site recommened for wiring for a trailer?

Hoppy converter

it sure isn't likely... The correct converter 'induces the current, which isolates the bike wiring and most importantly the bike charging system from a trailer dead short. This is very desirable.

And it converts USA type illumination to that of EURO which these bikes are.

This page will set up right up..
