To address the issues with noise and fork angle, I was using a shorter fork and LR belt drive. Still wasn’t happy with result. LR motor due the frame geometry was very close to the ground. Ended the project by converting the e-bike to the regular DH bike and selling it.

I had high hopes, but it turned out that DH on the flat road was not comfortable at all. Don’t get me wrong, the bike was technically perfect, but compared to other bikes I have built it was the worst combination I have tried yet. The e-bike was not used for downhill. The battery was 14s, low...

By far my worst build. DH bike and CYC X1 Pro1.

Downhill is comfortable only going down the hill. On flat it is useless, as the front fork is not working due the angle that is tuned to go downhill. I would recommend stay away from CYC unless you don’t care about the noise.

I was using 5M Continental CXP belt, no problems at all. The belt could be cut to any width if bought from local shops. Continental 5M 20mm width cost roughly 20 EUR.

For a small wheel I have used 5M-20T steel wheel, bought locally for ~ 3 EUR. I have machined the hole and keyway to replicate CYC design. The idler wheel was done to accommodate the belt length. Using the belt, you will get rid of chain noise, although the gearbox is also making a lot of...

1. While the magnets still on the rotor, mark the magnets with a permanent marker (you can write numbers on each magnet). The idea is to put the magnets back in exactly the same order to maintain correct polarity. 2. Then remove a few magnets ~ 5. Clean the surface of the rotor and the magnet...

Yes, it is original. Controller is no longer available (sold)

My "lowrider" with LightningRods belt mid drive kit. Powered with tiny Trampa Vesc 6 75. Battery Li-po 14s 54V. Currently power up to 2.7kW. No monster, but I don't want to stress bike components too much. Non original pedals used. As with original pedals the large belt wheel had too much side...

No problem, my Ultra motor has 48V sticker. I am running 52V battery 14s li-Ion. Full charge 58.8 V.
