I just remounted my cyclone motor - I had to buy and install a new mounting bracket because the low quality metal that they use for them became bent after 6 months of use.
For one afternoon, the throttle would randomly cut out. I would ride for a while just fine, then it would stop running, then it would start again. I have a meter which shows that the battery voltage is OK. To me, that screams "control problem".
When I turn the throttle, nothing happens. After a few seconds, the light on the throttle turns flashing red. The battery voltage does not move.
I noticed that the stuff (glue? tape?) around where the control cables enter the motor looks like it is falling apart. Is that cable replacable? I'm afraid to take a knife to the area and find out.
I would be rather pissed (understatement of the year) to have to pay $500 for a new motor just because of a poorly made cable.
