I've decided to just go Cyclone 3k. I would rather have power and not need, than waste more money on something that is going to be slower. I still want to use PAS at times on it but on the way to work I will throttle all the way. Don't wanna get sweaty.

How does law enforcement respond to you? Amused? Where I live, law enforcement is lax on ebikes. We also have a few paths where fast ebikes are already legal or can become legal.

I like the body on that trike! I've always been afraid of using a trike on the road because of how low they are but have always wanted one.

I already know ppl go fast with them. I saw Inglewood Knight on the hwy with his. I asked what makes the Cyclone a better choice than a hub. A two word response is useless "versatility" means absolutely nothing without context. Going fast doesn't = versatility unless you mean you can go at...

What does that even mean? I don't want to go off road do I can't think of anything that the Cyclone can do better than a hub, save for keep the COG more in line with how bicycles are designed, which means more when riding on trails than the streets.

Why a cyclone over something like a QS Motor 205 3000w 50H V3? It seems like the 205 hub produces more power, is easier to install and is easier on the drive train. For the Trek Marlin I just bought, I'm going to just use a BBSHD and keep it as more of a commuter bike because everywhere I...

One thing I do wonder is how do these bikes handle on pavement. I don't care about riding offroad, I just like the cool look and how they don't look like bicycles, especially with a moto seat. What I do fear is that that the long DH forks and the rake is going to make it handle more like a boat...

Will this kit do well on an aluminum frame bike? What part of the frame takes the most abuse from the motor? Or is most of the wear and tear on the drive train parts?

I planned to build a DIY 18650 pack. I've looked into lipo but I don't want all the extra maintenance and worries. I've also thought about for my first build to just get a $1000 Trek hard tail bike with suspension seat post and have a build where I don't need to piecemeal a lot of parts. Save...

I'm leaning more towards the 76. I want something a little narrower and easy to toss around. One thing that I do know is to try and buy as few parts from Qulbix as possible because their markup is crazy high.

I'm trying to decide between these two frames. Outside of cosmetic differences, are there any difference in build quality, responsiveness, ride quality and so on? Which one would you choose? Why? My color choices will be a lot more understated. Qulbix 140r Qulbix 76r FUTR Alpha FUTR...

Sorry. I learned more info and changed my mind!

Nice build. I got a lot of good ideas from you.

What kind of distance an speed are you getting? I'm going to order this frame in a week or 2 from Eye. My original plan was to go 72v with a 5000w hub but I might go 52-60v and 30ah. How did you like the rockshox over what you already had in it?

I thinking about breaking it down to either-- (Two)10s10p packs or (Four)5s10p packs I want solderless/spot weld-free no matter in case I need to remove bad cells.
