Snow riding. If you get the chance try it out.

Just short clips I texted to friends.
The cyclone thread is from 2015. Wow how time flies. I see it becoming less popular now, hard to get and keep running all that stuff and there’s better choices like cyc and lightning rods for those who’ve learned to figure it out with the cyclone. But I really like the fatbike ride and tire and was wondering about something like the sur-ron in the snow. I’m not impressed after watching this video below. I really want to get 45nrth wrathchild tires down the road, $250 each ouch. We’ll see. Exploring in the snow is really fun even if it’s the woods down the street from my house.

dekes1 said:Without pedaling, I've seen a maximum speed of 35mph/56kph. My battery pack is a 14s10p pack which is 58.8 volts fully charged and between 52.5 -55 nominal. The controller is listed as a 40amp continuous and 100 amp peak capable. I use a PowerLog 6s meter to measure only 6 cells of my pack and I have seen 50amps peak current draw. I suspect that's the most i'll ever get out of my 18650 cells.
if you had a battery pack capable of 60amps or more, I'd guess the motor (and correct gearing) would push you over 45mph/72kph. My bike is on the ragged edge at 35mph and I usually ride below 30mph.

Lace to your rim a steel hub with threads for a screw-on freewheel. Thread on a White Industries Ultimate freewheel with a single sprocket bolted to it. This set up works for a 15000 watt edirtbike. It is likely to work for hill riding with a 3K motor.
Yes------ one speed
That very specific question, yes maybe OT not related to the thread context.DingusMcGee said:Likely he sometimes gets rear wheel bounce
Wilto70 said:Hi. I have just destroyed another rear hub using this kit. I have it set up on a downhill bike/backpack battery and love riding it. Is there a solution to continually stripping the teeth on the drive ring (the inside of the hub where the pawls engage). I have thought of using JB WELD to lock it all in place, but it probably wouldn't hold and a fixed wheel would be a bit weird using this motor. Any thoughts on what type of hub to use or a way of preventing this from happening as often. I live in a pretty hilly area.
