    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Yeah it's different for sure but it's coped fine with it on steep rocky ground as well which is a lot of the riding now, unlike my SRAM chains which don't last long. I think the reason we can get away with it is because even if only designed for a bike with 400w, a person pedaling can produce a...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I've used the stock freewheels for about 2300miles and on 48v never been a problem but I did eventually snap one tooth while running 72v so I think it's a little too much power on 72v but never any problems otherwise and I usually accelerate quickly.

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I would say it's very roughly the same loudness only at 72 it's much more of a high pitched sound - more annoying - so feels noisier. I don't think it's big problem at all personally but if you only want 27mph top speed then may as well get 48v as it's less noisy and should have the power. I...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Yeah I guess if the ebrake isn't very reliable itself it could end up being more dangerous due to the reliance. I have the battery XT90 just over my shoulder so can just yank it out if anything goes wrong.

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    When I have my bike it a low gear on max rpm and squeeze my shimano hydraulic brakes the wheel keeps moving- I actually couldn't stop the motor! So much torque. So yeah it's safer to have ebrakes but it's not needed. I ought to get some ..

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    The red wire has to connect with the main battery positive but I can't remember where the battery voltage wires go. And the 3 throttle wires on the controller red black and green can be connected to any 5v throttle. (red being positive 5v, black being ground, and green being the throttle signal)...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I have briefly tried it with my em3ev thorttle. I think any type should work as long as the on/off wire is connected right,

    A throttle with cruise control can help on bumpy terrain, but it's not safe. Needed to train myself to disengage it super fast

    A bit of both I suppose :?:

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    There are so many ways to get a stiff mount, one may be the the strongest but others can still work :) I haven't actually shown mine here but it's different to all others, still works fine even if it's not the best one. Shame there's all this conflict on technical stuff when we are all in...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Yeah maybe so. there's the 36-60v that came before the 36-72v so i guess there were some upgrades. On my bike 48v is fine for use most of the time 72v is just for fun rides :D

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I guess maybe it just depends on the rated voltage of the 5v step-down reg then. I agree it's best not to push it i've had two blow many miles out, wasn't pleasant... (not even overvolting it)

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I've always wondered as it's usually rated voltage of the capacitor and FETs that's considered in maxing the controller voltage, surely there's other little regulators etc to worry about as well?

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    One of the main benefits of a sine wave controller is actually better efficiency. If I remember right with a standard 3 phase controller highest efficiency can't exceed ~90% but with a true sine wave it can 'theoretically' have 100% efficiency. Which obviously isn't going to happen but still...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I meant lubricating the chain to reduce rattling sound, yeah but also after taking off the front cover (and presumably shifting the grease in the nylon gears around) it seemed to make less of a whiny sound. I found the high-pitch noise most annoying so was glad that was reduced. :D That's a...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    The motor itself when you run it on the ground is dead quiet. But it having contact with the bike amplifies the sound as well as chain movement etc. Lubrication helps a lot. At high speed I can barely hear the motor over the sound of the wind

    Actually i'm wrong... cassette alone is £345 :shock:

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    That looks great I wonder how it would deal with the Cyclone power. Not too bad at $130 .

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Well when it was being hit with force one of them came out of it's ''slot''' by the magnet due to the shaft moving vertically causing the controller to only have inputs from two of the sensors. It still span but twas loud and jerky and disgusting. Good test for my controllers over current...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Funny that Phife, i've found the same thing :D Concentrated so much on getting a rock solid motor mount and realizing with a shock that the actual frame (chain stay part) is bending loads under high torque! something else I'll say in just to add to the information here. When you replace the...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    The 1920-3000w is rated for slightly higher current (5A more) and has a bit more torque than the 1800-3000w (130 vs 100nm) However it it's 900g heavier and also wider so requires a 190mm bb, but i don't find this an issue at all. They're both the same speed motors I believe Luna sells the...

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    Ah right thanks for that. I will probably have to replace the cell then. Between load release and full chemical stabilisation after about 30 minutes there's a massive increase - like 0.6v

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    It's cell number one. I've also found that the first cell is always the bad one for some reason, the one where the main negative pole is. I have gathered that too but what I'm wondering is if it's resting voltage after 1 minute of resting or after 30 mins that counts

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    Not badly, I haven't checked but it seems to be only be an issue when it's at least half discharged Maybe 0.1V
