Hi. I like my bike; its a Cyclone 3kW with an embedded 400W gas generator (800W capable). It does 40 mph on lowest gear on flat surface and aggressive tuck. But, it has limitations due to the batteries ~1700W max continuous. I was thinking about a 6kW LR Big Block motor but that will require an entirely new bike frame to fit it basically losing all the work I did to make a hybrid.
Therefore, does anyone know if I can get a controller that will be compatible with the Cyclone 3kW to pump it up to 5kW? Will this fry the motor? I've ask SBP and they will check with Cyclone but just seeing if anyone in the community has done this. I see on the Cyclone site that they might have a motor (higher RPM and watt, lower torque) I just hope it can fit in the current Cyclone mount. I wonder if better batteries that can actually produce 3kW will propel me to 40-50 cruise and 55-60 top or is the RPM the limiter here?
