I'm not sure why you don't want to wire the rear taillight. Super easy. Takes 5 min and some zip ties. I love it. Never have to worry about any lights or recharging. I run the wire along the underside of the frame and up the rack. You never see it. I'm not mechanically inclined and I can do it. So you can too. Always on too so I'll never forget to turn it on or off. But whatever makes you happy.
