    Do controllers have overheat protection?? Re: Cyclone contro

    I BELIEVE this is good information that I can trust. What this is showing me is I discharged the batteries to about 30% once & that does not bother me. Hello Mr. Tone, Lead Acid resting State of Charge voltages 6 cells 12.65 V = 100% 12.45 V = 75% 12.24 V = 50% 12.06 V = 25% 11.89 V or less...

    Do controllers have overheat protection?? Re: Cyclone contro

    I JUST finished the 1st range test. I got 75.41 miles until I got the red battery indicator light. Ending voltage is 22.1 Volts. Is this to much of a discharge state? What is a safe discharge level? (edit)The recommended end-of-discharge voltage for the SLA is 1.75V/cell. Unlike the preferred...

    Do controllers have overheat protection?? Re: Cyclone contro

    I am just in the range testing phase & so far in an uncompleted test I have made 45.2 miles @ 8.5 MPH & batteries discharged to 23.91 volts with more miles yet to go. This test is on flat roads. Other tests will include climbing bridges and different speeds. I do know when the speed goes up the...

    Do controllers have overheat protection?? Re: Cyclone contro

    So, if my suspicions that I experienced an overheat situation are correct, with the trike having 12 speeds via a 3pc Cyclone crankset & a 6 speed cassette, I think I'll try the bridges in my lowest gear. I am doing range testing with various gearing & speed configurations so that I better...

    Do controllers have overheat protection?? Re: Cyclone contro

    I would like to know if controllers in general have overheat protection where they shut down & specifically whether or not a CYCLONE controller has it. I have a complete new Cyclone system--a 650 watt & the controller is remote to where I cannot feel it while riding. On one of my 1st test runs I...

    NEW!!! CYCLONE 3 PC CHAINWHEEL 650 WATT TRIKE

    I decided to do this build rather than buy it off the shelf for several reasons. The Gomier is belt drive & I worried about slippage. I have come to find that is not an issue---the belts have teeth & are carbon--not rubber. The Gomier is 24 volt & so is my build it is just that theirs is 450...

    cyclone 3pc chainwheel---why 3?

    Re: New Trike build---Gomier w/ Cyclone 24 V 650 ... Some have questioned just how one can use a 3 Pc. chainwheel on an electric bike. It means being able to shift your front derailleur with the motor chain running on the chainwheel next to it & it does not seem that there would be room for two...

    Cyclone-TW or Cyclone-USA

    Hey Kevinator!---I haven't been here in a while---too busy ordering parts you know!

Here is a link so you can keep track of...

    Wanted, Anderson 30 amp Powerpole contacts

    The $ 5 is worth it! You will spend more than that in gas to go find them if you can. Look, I'm spending about $450 or so in shipping for my trike build---get used to it--it is a part of life. I do hope you find them.

    Emergency cut off switch---yes or no?

    I had some time to look so these are the various 50 amp or so switches I found. Some are quite small which surprised me. It may be that one of these will work for you.

    Golden Motor Controller---fancy!

    That is the kind of comment I have been waiting for---I knew some of you radicals would take a liking to it! I would imagine you could really tweak your ride with this if you knew what you were doing & I don't in this area. :mrgreen:

    Emergency cut off switch---yes or no?

    Lately I have been running across references to an "emergency-cut-off-switch for e-bikes. They are mounted for easy & quick access by the rider in the event of a controller or throttle gone-WILD and interrupt the primary wire to the battery as shown in the drawing. One would have to use a 40 amp...

    Ebike Laws and Regulation

    Here in Florida I had the misfortune to be misinformed by a gas Moped dealer that they were street-legal & no registration, no title, no insurance, no license required & I got caught with it by the police. Well, needless to say I had to sell it!---lost money TOO! The truth is a moped is a motor...

    Cyclone cruise control--wizards needed!

    In that I will have some trips on my Cyclone 650 watt 24V trike I am interested in possibly installing a cruise control. I searched the forums but found little information other than that someone else desires one too. All I know is that I want it & the Cyclone controller is external. I did find...
