Also keep in mind, revel is designed specifically for 36v; it is much lighter and It’s not designed for 52-72v. With the cyc, the chainring assembly alone weighs close to 1 lb.
I have both the revel and cyc. There really isn’t an easy Way to interchange. I believe they are using the same torque sensor, but the Freewheel interface is entirely different format; different bolt patterns as well. You can’t even use the same Drive chainring as cyc uses a larger drive...
Paul nailed PAS and the fit and finish of the system. Every component of the system has been thoroughly thought through. Just holding the battery or spinning the custom freewheel can show the amount of detail that has went into this product. I had a few minor suggestions to the system. He...
The beauty of the system is it just silently sips watts as you pedal along. I have a midfat 29er Jones bike with 32 tooth gearing 11/34 cassette. I can comfortably pedal low 20s on pas assist 2 of 5. I can reach upper 20s on pas 5 or throttle. How fast are you looking to go?
It makes my...
Hey Paul,
Just pontificating here... A kids system got me thinking on small systems low torque. In addition, I was thinking about famous le Tour de France cheating where they put tiny motors in hubs for incremental gains. Let’s say you reduce torque requirements in half or a quarter; high...
I’m sold on the revel propulsion setup; I don’t want 20lbs of motor and battery. I’m looking to put the 10lb setup on a full suspension bike. I’m hoping it will be a cheaper version of the levo sl. Granted I’ll have to pedal more, but it seems it will a lot livelier than my current mid fat...
Not to take you away from the work, One other quick question as I’m looking for a used full suspension mountain bike. What’s the front chainring 42 tooth?
Hey Paul!
Thanks for the update! I was hoping the throttle made the cut. I mainly run pas, but it’s nice to have when trail riding to get over an obstacle/hill. The other stuff is nice to have.
I’ve been there and back with the high torque high power systems. I don’t want to bike around...
