The motor stopped working a few minutes after the big splash. When I checked the connections the two prong plug on the throttle was definitely wet inside. The throttle still lit up though. As of today the lights don't work on the throttle anymore but the it does turn the controller on. Is there...

The voltage between the black and green wires of the throttle alternates from 4.5 to 5v when pulling the throttle.

I'm using a cyclone 3000 on a KMX trike and I took it out into the rain yesterday, I covered the electronics in bubble wrap to avoid getting them wet but I ran into this monsterous puddle that I couldn't avoid and almost submerged the bike in it. After that I checked the electronics and they...

I want to upgrade my cyclone 3k freewheel cog from a 14t to a 22t but I haven't the slightest clue how to get the cog off of the motor. Can anyone give me some laymens instructions please?

I'm using my cyclone 3000 motor on a KMX trike with the double sprocket attachment that lunacycle sells for recumbents and I'm using a 50t cassette in the back. I want to hit 30mph in first gear but I am only getting 16mph in first gear using the 14t freewheel cog on the cyclone 3000 motor. I...

I live in a very hilly area with lots of steep grades, I need the gears sadly. I can't find anything on the internet that tells me what size BMX chain will fit a 10 speed drivetrain.

My cyclone 3000 has ripped two of my chains if half from the torque already and I need something a bit stronger than the chains I've been using. I was told to use BMX chains instead of KMC chains for the best results but I the sizing is different on BMX chains. What size BMX chain will fit a 10...

I'm trying fit the cyclone 3000 motor on my KMX using the syclone double sprocket kit https://lunacycle.com/parts/cyclone-parts/cyclone-double-sprocket-kit-for-trikes-recumbents-and-pedicabs/ but I ran into an issue. The motor swivels back and forth on the mount when in use which causes chain...

I'm planning to order a KMX trike kit next month for my cyclone 3000 and I'm trying to maximize range efficiency. I plan on riding about 14,000 miles per year. I can either buy the steel or aluminum kmx venom frame, of course I'd want to go with the aluminum frame because it's lighter and will...

Is there a belt-pulley that fits the cyclone 3000? I could use a dual cog cassette and route the cyclone and the crank separately. But I would need a way to mount the cyclone at the back and a belt-pulley that fits the cyclone. What is the key notch type shaft that the cyclone 3000 uses called?

So I'm trying to make the ultimate commuter KMX trike. At first I decided to mix gas with electric, but realized I would become a cop magnet, decrease aerodynamics, and have top heavy weight where I don't want it on a recumbent. So I'm going full electric. I need to commute 40 miles per day...

So did we conclude these cells are a rip-off? Even if they come out at just 4000ma that is still better than anything else on the market by weight is it not?

The Cyclone "3000" comes in 3 versions, the 1500w-3000w, 1800w-3000w and the 2000w-4000w version according to this http://www.cyclone-tw.com/motor.html The 2000-4000w version is 8% more efficient than the others. That's nothing to scoff at. Which one does Lunacycle actually sell us?

I don't need the idler? I already have a cyclone 3000 motor. Not going to buy a hub. What about my other questions? Should I place the motor in front like Gman1971 or use the cyclone sprocket? I think I recall Gman1971 saying something about optimizing the wave turbulence underneath the bike...

But I can't run 96v with my cyclone right?
