I have had that issue on one of my builds awhile back. The bike ran great for about 100 miles and then started a jerky on and off situation with throttle use or above pas 1 setting. Bike was good on the stand with no load. Checked everything as display, wheel sensors and connections along with...
I will say of the many kits that I have installed. The CYC stuff seems to present more problems. The BBS kits aside from obtaining a good chainline are very simple to deal with and for the most part very trouble free. I just like the torque sensor factor on the CYC that is the only sales point...
Yea blue will hold just fine I just would prefer not to use it. The damn jamb nut should hold but is not. If you load the jamb nut as to hold the large nut it puts too much preload on the unit. Read up on the bearing problems others like high voltage are having. I chose to not preload very much...
The lock nut on the left side would be the locking nut I would think. Not the jamb nut with the allen sets. All motors whether bafang or cyc have the locking nut on the left side. The locking ring or split threaded collar as you call it is supposed to be slightly pre loaded against the big nut...
I think the Photon doesn`t like very much side load put on it with the tightening nut and the locking ring. Mine wants to loosen on its on and then the unit smooths out. When I re tighten it I notice a slight bumping feeling when I pedal. It doesn`t want to stay real tight and I`m alright with...
Have built many e bikes with both Bafang and CYC drives. But this Photon unit I have on a steel framed marin el roy refuses to stay tight. I don`t want to lock tight it as I have done on some bafang drives. I always wrap a 1/2 in. wide tie wrap around all the builds to keep the motor from ever...
I bought a film off of amazon that helps relieve the polarization effect. The product was made mention on another site. I ordered it helped. Cheap and seemed to help on my Aventon aventure model. The display on this bike was effected as it was a colored display screen. YMMV
I have both the stealth gen 3 and a photon. So far no problems with either. I run the gen 3 on mtn. bike and the photon on a single speed steel mtn. bike frame on the street. Hoping for no trouble as I run 48volts with factory settings. Own 4 bafangs hd and s02 models. Only trouble I have ever...
