At low RPM you can easily draw twice that, + - depending on the winding.

Haven't been on here in a while and in the interim got into semiconductor fab which involves this cool tech called wire bonding! Usually the wires involved are very small but they can be bigger, big enough to carry current for high power ebikes. Wire bonding has been used in industry for...

When the magnets explode they totally came off in my case. Also if you get it hot enough to remove magnets they should be at least partially demagnetized. That could be a defect. The case was also extremely hot every time I blew magnets. You can't keep your hand there.

OK, you have a 12v system with a DC motor (or maybe 24v, if the two groups of 2 series 6v batteries are combined in series). You can tell for sure that each pair of 2 batteries is combined in series for 12V. DC motors don't need fancy controllers and in fact you can just slam the power on / off...

So the tabs are welded to the batteries, but attached with "conductive paste" and by tape compression between stages on the side of the pack where visible? Looks pretty stable, really. Zero used to use a compression fit for their battery conductors about 10 years ago. It can work if you do it...

That's pretty cool I would buy it for my collection at a price like that if I was local.

Just to be clear, this is an actual person who had an (sort of) actual cannibal army: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Butt_Naked

Yeah, I guess it could be taken that way if can't bother to use Google first but if you did you would find out that General Butt Naked was the name of an ACTUAL LIBERIAN GENERAL who actually led an army of (purported) cannibals. Seriously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Butt_Naked

Oh ok so it can BARELY do 50 mph on a full battery, maybe, according to some people, and I don't see that as the advertised top speed. Meanwhile you post a pic doing a speed my stock monster can hit. What actually happened is you just got a wheel you THINK you can do 50 mph, but you didn't...

Think real hard about this because the cyclone 3000 in my opinion sucks more than twice as hard as the twice as expensive X1. The X1 not only is lighter and more powerful the build quality of the entire assembly is much higher. The stock controller is also better.

What were the circumstances that led to you always riding around with a bunch of beer?? I assume the beer joined the bike before it was thought to be used as coolant.

Hey guys...DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A BACDOOR APP FOR PC that works offline, doesn't need a login, and is much easier to use and more full featured than the stupid app which is basically for people without working brains (or working PCs). Do you want a copy of the PC app? Please inquire via PM...

You're so full of shit I doubt you have ANY eucs in your group that have EVER hit 50 mph except maybe downhill and it would be a complete stretch of the performance on full battery not effortless at all. Bicycles can fit in the same narrow spaces as a unicycle if the bars aren't too wide. And...

Liberian warlord living in Canada? At least it's not General Butt-Naked and his army of cannibals.

The CYC is one of the smallest weakest bike motors. Meanwhile any fast ebike can stop MUCH faster, accelerate faster, and corner...much faster and more quickly than a EUC. Suspension lets you take curbs and big bumps at speed. Stairs are something you can bomb up or down not take like a novelty...
