    Upgrade the new GNG 650w (chain/sprockets)

    There is hope finally for the 60v gng owners. As most of you know, the biggest difference between GNG's 48v and 60v versions of this kit, is the primary reduction upgraded to a chain instead of the belt. And the chain upgrade is an improvement over the belt version of the 48v, but it remains...

    The crank arms must not be seated completely in if you re catching a thread or 2 only? They should not slide all the way in by themselves, the screws will press them in as you tighten. But you should be catching more than 2 threads to start it off. Wishes

    The chain I used did not have hollow pins. And i bought it last year at a local bike shop, I forget the brand it was sorry. Wishes

    I did a quick google on your bike. Seems standard at the BB level which should accommodate this kit easily. Did you have a specific concern about something not fitting? Wishes

    I had the same problem with my Kona, the chain would drop on the chain rings when I had it in the lower gears. Something to do with the angle of the cassette and the chain rings. I tried reducing the gears in the back to shorten my cassette and used spacers to offset it so I would get a better...

    I 100% agree with you t0me, you are not nagging at all to request a production update. Although it's Mike's fault for posting order and production info on this thread at the begging, but for the obvious reasons of late, LR is no longer posting, and has not posted in a while, any order...

    Asking for parts is one thing. But i've seen the emails Mike gets, and I have had the same exchanges with many of you over technical questions. Do you know how long it takes to answer your 2 full page emails. Longer than it takes you guys to write it. Answering 1, 2, or even half a dozen is...

    GNG, 1000W 48V BB-drive, $400

    Another difference between 1 controller and the other, is the Phase amps. That will have a huge impact on the acceleration. It is hard coded in most controllers, Lyen's controllers can be programmed. Well the infeneon line of controllers can have their phase amps adjusted. But not all...

    Upgrade the new GNG 650w (chain/sprockets)

    I used the 1/2x1/8 bmx chain on that secondary. With a half link on it, you should be able to get proper tension. Wishes

    GNG, 1000W 48V BB-drive, $400

    Particularly well? As long as they are 60 degree hal sensor controllers, they should work all the same. What will change the feel is the throttle you use and the amps a given controller pushes through it. But my experience is limited when it comes to these motors and controllers. I've only...

    Ah your referring to the freewheel on the cranks, my bad. I bent my stock BB and messed up that freewheel 2 months into last season. So i spent the extra $$ and ordered the Cyclone crank set, came with a new hardened BB, a freewheel, crank arms and chain rings. It was expensive but I've never...

    If you are referring to the small secondary sprocket free wheel, I have been using mine at 3000 watts + for almost 2 full seasons. Including through snow this winter with my ski and track kit on the bike. But you probably ride yours harder than I do. I ride mostly streets. The stock GNG...

    Re-use that piece you have from the stock kit for the tube bracket. As for the flange, although it is better to have it, it is not essential. If your jackshaft is straight, the belt will stay in place. Wishes

    I hammered mine in slowly, using a piece of wood to absorb the direct impacts. I got myself a cylinder piece of wood that fit precisely over the pulley and did not overlap on the lip, which is press fitted on the pulley. So not to damage it. As long as you have the other side properly braced...

    New GNG Mid Drive Brushless 60V650W

    If you had a short on the sensor wires, then that is definitely your problem. I would look for a replacement controller. They are not too pricey, you can probably get away with one for around $50. Many people run sensor less motors, on hub motors. Where you can pedal a bit before hitting the...

    New GNG Mid Drive Brushless 60V650W

    That sounds exactly like a motor running sensorless. Without HAL sensors, the motor needs to spin up a bit before power can kick in. And from the sound of it, it looks like none of your sensors are working. If you had even 1 working, the motor would be behaving differently. And if all of...

    Keep in mind that this is all nice theoretical numbers. But the reality is when you start hitting 50-55 kmh, wind resistance and other resistances will make that chain skip on anything smaller than 14-15t rear sprocket. For example, my gearing ratio's of my setup at the voltages I run, give me...

    Upgrade the new GNG 650w (chain/sprockets)

    By using a half link on the secondary chain, you should be able to remove the tensioner, which is a source of significant noise. The halflink enables you to get the chain at the right length so you have the correct tension without the tensioner. That is why people say that is quieter with a...

    New GNG Mid Drive Brushless 60V650W

    The KMC will do fine. As for the halflink, its for the secondary chain. With the small #25 links, you should be able to get proper tension. I don't even think they make half links for #25. I could be wrong on that. Wishes

    New GNG Mid Drive Brushless 60V650W

    I did exactly that at one point with my chain version of the GNG. Changing out the primary chain for a #25 and corresponding sprockets helps with the noise. And using BMX chain on the secondary is also a good idea. Unless you have LR's adjustable sheets, you will have no choice but to use a...
