Good start. Make it a mid drive. Use a modern tapered headset. Make it accept big wheels/tires like fat bikes use.

The newer bike frames don’t have to make room for that large triple chainring. 32 tooth comes to mind, replacing the old 40-44 tooth, 7,8,9 speed set ups of yesteryear.

Thanks for that information. It helps with my encouragement. I was ass dragging on this project thinking I needed a 20 y/o+ car to skip the recertification process. I’m I’m not up for red tape headaches. The answer is to register it in Vermont. I’m in CT. You don’t have to live in VT to register...

You may be attempting the impossible. Not all electronic components work with each other. You risk damage to your controller by making a best guess on your wiring connections. This info on the display is nice but not absolutely necessary. Use a ride tracker app for your speed and consider a...

Are you located in the USA?

electric scooter parts for less can make custom 219 sprockets up to 150T. https://electricscooterparts.com/custom-made-sprockets.html Can a temp sensor be added to the xxl motor? Is there a way to easily connect it to an analog (or digital) gauge w/o needing a cycle analyst or Arduino or pie...

What’s that motor like?. I’d like to use it in a smart car conversation, 1800 lbs w/ice. The 10k golden motor weighs 17kg and the cyclone 22k is just 12kg? Sure the golden 10k can be pushed to 20k but I think I need the higher voltage of the cyclone to get the extra 5k watts to a 25k max output...

This mount is long gone. No longer being made or sold. It was pricey and there were complaints. If you needed it and could justify its expense then you went for it. Not to many, or any company in the USA is bothering with the cyclone or it’s accessories anymore. If you want a mount that differs...

Sparfuchs There are examples of left hand drive on the cyclone page, bikes and motorcycles are shown. Zoom in at the rear wheels in the pictures. Some show a belt drive on the left which for me would be crap. https://www.cyclone-tw.com/product/2 On the lightningrods web site he shows one...

I don’t see things going narrower. Maybe a cheaper option now but some serious ebike riding does require a 3 to 5+ inch tire, my opinion please no bashing. It may be a plus or fat bike. Put road tires on it and now it’s A? Black wall 26 X 4 inch on the way. I’ll let you know what they are...

The way to use left hand drive is to have a wider swing arm than rear hub. This is because you will have a sprocket behind the brake disc. So you need more room on the left side. I remember around 15mm out spacing to clear the caliper to the sprocket last I checked on my setup. Just measuring...

I made another trip to the beach. A new rear wheel has brought this bike back to life. The heavy front wheel helps keep the front end down. A lower, shorter stem has been added since these pictures, I’m liking it! I was sort of bummed at first that I had to pay for non resident parking/beach...

After two I’m done with that type. Like what that screenshot you posted reads at the bottom about building a frame around your motor. My wheels are turning say to speak. It seems like what’s commercially available stops at around 1500w then jumps to to sur-Ron type motor bike. So it sort of puts...

I’ve never had any of those catastrophic scare me away problems with hyd. Maybe after I try to shorten a brake line ha ha. Just leave em. I’ve often thought it would be neat to convert the plastic lines to nice hard coated steel automotive brake lines using appropriate flex sections and...

I just experienced overheating for the first time with my cyclone fat 60A 72V. So I know overheating is a concern of mine, but more on my next more serious build. One question, I’m not seeing torque ratings much anymore on motor spec’s. Can you guys remind me what the cyclone 40A and 60A and the...
