Thanks Christobel931, the shockie banana seat worked quite well. I made and fitted a battery tray today, using equal angle and square tube. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/battray1.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/battray2.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e...

Ok this is my second bike build using my Cyclone brushless 1000w. The first was powered with 4 x 20Ah SLA's. Seen here; http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/IMG_5212.jpg For this build I'm using the frame from the two stroke powered bike below; http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340...

Yes I am stoked with build quality of this pack. Plans for this battery, are, my 1000w Cyclone kit from this old set up, (these SLA's are now history). http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/IMG_5212.jpg Is going onto this, minus the stinky motor. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e2134...

I received my Headway pack this week and thought a few people may want to see photos of the shipping packaging, optional case, cells, charger/internals. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/batt5.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/e21340i/batt6.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums...

For my drive through a 3S shimano hub, I machined the teeth off the hub sprocket until it was a snug fit inside a 80 tooth 8mm pitch sprocket and welded them together. The hub has handled a Cyclone 1000w with no worries. The motor has a 11 tooth driving the 80 tooth, this ratio works well with the h...

Miles and recumpence that is a brilliant idea (flat pulley). Matt what series toothed belts are you using? Are any of the round tooth belts best? Do you think 1500w through a 20 tooth 5mm pitch pulley driving a 250mm diameter flat pulley, (this should give me 8:1) using a 9mm wide belt will work? A ...

Hey Matt, Awesome work with the drive. I have just read the 44 pages of this thread and I think I read you can get custom pulleys. I want to drive my Cyclone 1000w directly to my 3 speed hub in the rear wheel using a 5mm pitch belt like you use in your drive. I currently do this with a 8mm pitch cha...

Good work Kim, looking very sweeeeet. I can't stop thinking about powering my new chopper build after all your emails. Time will tell.
Cheers,
Matt.

Nice to see that motor etc. I love the work on the 200w sticker.
Cheers,
Matt.

Good work Kim. The frame has some great looking bends and curves.
Cheers,
Matt.

I guess you are asking me this question. I am not sure what a tadpole trike is and sorry I am way too busy with a 13 month old child to take on work.
Cheers,
Matt.

I think you said that you get 57.5 km/hr in the top gear, and 47.5 km/hr, in 2nd, which is 1:1, is that right? Yes thats about right. Do you happen to know the voltage the WattsUp is reporting, when you are at these top speed points? I haven't really noticed the volts, however I don't think an accu...

Looking good! I love the shape you are creating.
Cheers,
Matt.

It looks like Cyclone have changed the motor case of their 1000w motor. My 1000w motor, shown here http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/vi ... f=6&t=4032 has a finned aluminiun case, and yours appears smooth and painted black.
I wonder why the difference.
Cheers,
Matt.

I'd join in a group purchase of Ping duct tape packs, or more recently I've been looking at the cyclone LiFePO4 DIY packs if you're keen. Is there a group purchase happening? Have you worked out the total cost, for cyclone, 48v 20ah, bms, and charger? Thanks for the feedback on my bike Gregory. One...

Excellent donor bikes Aussie. And I like the price.
Cheers,
Matt.

Nice work, great conversion.
They are awesome brakes, are they pricey.
Cheers,
Matt.

If you use a 11t motor sprocket and a 54t rear with no other reduction in the system, I estimate a top speed of 33 to 35kmh on 20" tyres. Aussie I have made a mistake. The 54t will give you more top speed not less. I don't know how I mixed that up. You would get around 70kmh, but it would be s...

Good work Aussie, the frame looks awesome and I love your choice of rear rims and tyres, those low profiles look very cool.
I think maybe we should catch up and have a chat. PM me if you're keen.
Cheers,
Matt.

The second sprocket will need to be attached to the hub shell, or the internal gears will be bypassed. Aussie, I was wondering too, do you want to uterlise the gearing in the hub? If you use a 11t motor sprocket and a 54t rear with no other reduction in the system, I estimate a top speed of 33 to 3...

i was hoping you could help me with the gearing or point me to a formula I can follow? Have a look at this; http://www.dynamicscience.com.au/tester/solutions/hydraulicus/gears1compound.htm and see if it helps. I am having trouble picturing your drive line, sorry. Have you got a diagram? Cheers, Matt.

My bike does 47.5km/h in second gear ie 1:1 in the hub, 11:80 in the chain drive, and driving a 20" wheel.
Cheers,
Matt.

Yeah it is nice to work with, I also use a fair whack of ali along with perspex, I have been quite heavily involved in PC case modding for many years now, my latest creation is all ali with custom perspex work--> Thats some serious looking PC stuff. Is that water cooling I see? Nice one!! Have you ...

Dee Jay and AussieJester, I will reply with details maybe Saturday. I am away at the moment.
Cheers,
Matt.

Looks like a pair of front forks were used? Yes, forks off a 20" kids huffy mountain bike that I picked up for $10 at a garage sale. The ride is much better, the shocks have taken away the sharp bumps. I like to have my tyres nice and hard for efficiency, so it was a really rough ride before. ...
