Thanks for the good advice. I think I'll stick with 40 amps for the time being. I imagine you've had to upgrade the stock KMX chain pully? I am amazed that you are pulling 90 amps through such a long chain. One of the reasons why I decided to mount my motor in the rear was for the sake of having...
As much as I would like to, I am afraid that I cannot make a video to show this thing off. I am a public figure, and I want to keep my online activities as private as possible. But let me just take the opportunity go bonkers in writing. The trike actually feels like a go-cart now. The big...
Sorry for wasting everyone's time. I hooked up the stock throttle directly to the stock controller, and it drew the full 40 amps. The problem must be with my Cycle Analyst configuration. Although I had increased power limits sufficiently, something somewhere is limiting my power. I'll post back...
Thanks for letting me know that I should expect more power out of this controller. But how do you know that you are drawing 40 amps? Are you using a Cycle Analyst, or another power meter?
I think I will try taking the cycle analyst out of the circuit, and monitor current draw with a separate...
What worries me about changing to a more powerful controller, is that I might peanut-butter the plastic gears. It would be good to know if what I am experiencing is normal or not, before I would feel comfortable giving it more power. Can anyone help with this? Surely there is another Cyclone...
I bought both the new 1800-3000w and the 1920-3000w motor (shown in the photo below, in the middle and on the left respectively). The 1920-3000w is definitely more powerful, but also a lot louder.
Yes, it seems that the Cyclone 40 amp controller really only puts out 26 amps. I have tried two controllers now, and both motors, with the same results.
Hopefully this post will help to shed some light on the new "3000w" mid-drive kit, from Cyclone.
Firstly, here is a visual side-by-side comparison of the Cyclone motors. The motor on the left is the new 1920-3000w Cyclone. The one in the middle is the 1800-3000w. And the one on the right is the...
I came up with a good solution to increase my "stealth" here in Europe, where one is limited to 250 watts. (The law actually stipulates that the wattage can go significantly higher while one is going up-hill or accelerating, which is quite a loophole. This means that it is theoretically possible...
