    Custom cyclone 48v base kit lyen control Aus

    It has a half twist throttle only, no pas. The battery was lipo and I have broken the pack up and sold off most of the individual batteries. I'd be happy enough with $250 for the whole kit.

    Custom cyclone 48v base kit lyen control Aus

    Hi I have my custom cyclone base kit up for sale. I'm in Melbourne Aus and can explore shipping quotes to any where. I will sell it as a whole or am open to offers to cannibalism for bits. The main parts are Lyen 3077 anodised black with custom graphics and upgraded silicone phase wires...

    Pics of my new build (BBS02)

    Where does the power cable exit the seat tube? Did you drill a hole in the frame down near the bb?

    Bafang replacement CRANKARMS

    Out of curiosity what does the Bafang axle look like? I presume it has a drive gear and a couple of bearing diameters. Why not just make a new axle with isis interface instead of crappy square taper?

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Solved! The gear slipping problems seem to have just been a bent derailleur hanger! :oops: Always the simple solution, only after I stripped down the freehub and found nothing wrong. I ended up changing the chain and cluster to a slightly fresher one so can't really be sure it was just the...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Ok its been ages since I've posted or riden my bike. My knees seem to be pretty much shot and the slightly wider cranks seem to aggravate them badly. Doh. I spent a heap of hours on this project with the idea of commuting on some fun trails most days of the week. I am working on strengthening...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Luckily i wasn't paying for machine time !! :wink: It was my first build so maybe it is geared a bit low but everyone seems to have overheating problems with this motor at higher power levels. I felt that if it was geared lower that i would sacrafice top speed for hill climbing ability, which...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    I have been testing the bike on and off over the last month and i have now fitted a throttle tamer to try and offer some more ride ability. Thanks to Toby82 for selling me one he had, as they are now out of stock at Greyborg USA. It was set at 40 amps at 48v and popped wheelies pretty much at...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    I have had some test rides and was happy with how everything performed. As was my feeling I had the gearing a little low so top speed was 45kph. Then i realised that i had an 11 tooth sprocket on the rear and it wasn't loving the speed runs up and down the street as much as i was! :D I will...

    CYCLONE MOTOR OVERHEATING

    Yeah I have read about people doing it to hub motors but you're right they are a lot lower rpm than a mid. Ego say that they run a special gel to get 3000w out of their motors. Just a thought at the moment.

    CYCLONE MOTOR OVERHEATING

    I have been considering trying some non conductive liquid inside the motor to conduct the heat from the stator to the housing more efficiently. i thing the heat sinks would do a much better job if the hot bits were in "contact" if you know what i mean. Anyone tried this sort of thing before?

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Things are finally seeing some progress! The new mount/gearbox has been finished (see pics) so i am free to assemble the rest of the drive. :D Super excited to finally get the gearbox complete so it can turn a wheel. I will hopefully get the unit assmbled this weekend and will post some more...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Not much to report sorry. I have been on holidays and house renovations are keeping me from doing much. Boring! ! I will hopefully do some more this week. Cheers

    Dave's 80:1 RC mid drive kit build log

    This kit looks awesome, well done on the design. I wish you had finished about 9 months ago would have saved me a heap of time and effort. It makes mine look like a aluminium house brick strapped to the frame! As far as the noise goes there is to many variables as far as type and placement of...

    EV sonic 7 kit car

    The kit car industry is a very tough place to do business. Over the years I have done work for quite a few in Melbourne that have gone broke. Some several times over!

    EV sonic 7 kit car

    Wow I thought it would be a lot more than that, it looks better than kit cars twice that price. Well done, beautiful job.

    EV sonic 7 kit car

    Wow that is an amazing build. I may have access to some great equipment but you look like you're doing pretty well with whats at your disposal. Have you got an idea of what the car has cost so far? Actual or what you tell the wife! Great job, your commitment to your project is very impressive.

    Bafang BBSHD, 1000W, 68mm-120mm BB

    Has anyone had any experience with this Bafang max drive? It would be interesting to get a bit more info ie price and if It has a similar torque sensing to the bosch drive. It would be relatively easy to machine on mass a weld in frame piece to modify heaps of different frames to allow the...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    Ok big week this week with lots of parts being finished and even some onto the bike. I am still waiting to get some time on the Macturn multitask machine to finish my elaborate gearbox, i sure know how to make things hard. i can finish it in one operation on the Mac or i have to do it on the...

    Specialized Rockhopper Pro Cyclone Build

    I put a photo of the frame into SW then scaled it using the known dimensions of the axle centers. I didn't know how well this would work so I left some clearance around the frame and it has pretty much exactly what I drew when I had made the parts. This method seems to be actually very accurate...
