Which battery did you use? I was looking at the same kit with the 60V luna battery, since it can output more current. The 72V battery looks like it would need two in parallel to provide enough current.
And what mountain bike is that?
Thanks!
I got the 72V 10Ah battery from Luna. Recommend HIGHLY! Dont let the low Ah fool you, this battery barely feels the load from the Cyclone, It flies and gets incredible range for its size. I just got back from a 12 mile ride at 45mph+ and the voltage dropped from 82 to 76 volts, so loads of power and capacity in reserve. Im not sure about the total range, but the battery is very dense with 720W/hrs on tap (or more, since it tops at 84V). Be warned, however, the throttle is very sensitive at this voltage.
This setup has enough power to snap chains and destroy the driveline, you dont need to parallel them. Step up to the 60A controller for more power. This is on a K2 Crush full suspension, weighs 60lbs as is.
