Hey All.

Some of you may remember my Downtube Cyclone Folder from last year. This year we moved to a house and with a workshop I was able to "tighten" up my setup.

Now I have a daily commuter that will open up to over 50km/h (current top speed I was brave enough to push) that will save me $6 a day on bus fare.

Running a 1200watt Cyclone kit with a 48v 20ah Ping LifePO4. It s nice solid set up for me and I could not be happier

I'm still getting used to the "squirelly" nature of the folder frame at high speed. Its most comfortable cruising in and around the 30 km/h mark. Just under the Ontario Ebike speed limit.

A real hoot to blast by the few EScooters I see on accasion to work. Tee Hee! :twisted:

The next best thing about this ride is the saddle. Gawd, I never thought some old school leather saddle would ride soft as a cloud. Seriously!! Now I know why Brooks Saddles are so expensive and sought after.


Hope you enjoy the pics. Comments, critique and recommendations are always welcome.

Cheers,

Norman

Looks good dude. IS that the older non gearbox style 1200w cyclone, Its huge compared to mine...

Hey 02jze!

I bought the Cyclone kit about 2 years ago and it does have the gearbox attached. I'm still a noob with this ebike stuff and am thoroughly impressed by the torque this little black box can dispense. :twisted:

Cheers,

Norman
