The cockpit wiring is a bit messy for my liking on a manufactured bike. The lighting is a nice touch, even though the headlight is not run off the main battery which is a bit odd. And it’s got an alarm and gps, although the gps tracking didn’t work on the reviewed bike, so maybe it needs a...

And the big battery version is £2499 plus delivery. And then it comes to £2,658 and that’s without any other options.

Does your mtb have lugs for front and rear disc brakes?

Your frame is versatile enough to take either a hub or mid drive and there will be no problem with battery location. Hub drives come on two flavours, front or rear, but as you have front suspension it’s not recommended to use a front hub motor. So you need to decide if you want to go for a...

Count the number of links and try not to lose count.

If you can’t dry it out and need to buy a new display then search for suntour oled display. But be warned they are horrendously expensive for what they are. There are several advertised but nobody appears to have any current stock...

There was a similar issue here but without resolution. The difference is that his bike worked and then suddenly developed the fault. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/very-weird-motor-issue-only-kicks-in-when-the-wheel-is-moved-backwards.35983/ This is a good piece of advise to start...

The instruction manual for the display is here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0068/8150/9479/files/KD58C-LCD_-_Manual.pdf?v=1637676315 Some of it is a bit complicated, so if you need any clarification just post up and someone will help. And it’s never a good idea to change the password or...

Can you post a photo of the wiring showing the connectors? It doesn’t matter if it all looks messy. The controller is fine for that motor, but you may need to dial back the current to protect the battery. One easy thing to try is rotate the pedals backwards with the rear wheel in the air and...

I made some effort to waterproof everything on my Bafang motor, but I do have a tendency to take it through nasty muddy wet stuff. I also didn’t like the way the motor and cables were exposed to rocks and tree stumps so I have tried to protect them with a bash guard. The motor doesn’t get good...

I label stuff so I don’t have to think too hard when it comes to reconnecting everything.

Realistically you aren’t going to fit a decent capacity 72 volt battery on your Giant, so you are restricted to a 52 volt battery. If you want to run at 1500 watts then you need a 52 volt battery capable of delivering a minimum 30 amps. And those batteries you are looking at will just about do...

They should have written: “The B-52 & B-52L packs with the Samsung 50e cells are fantastic for those wanting to go for a day out on the bike and cover long distances really slowly”. You have a choice, either run at 250 watts all day, in which case you don’t need a cyc x1, or run it at 1500 to...

The 5 volt regulator is inside the controller, not in the motor. And you don’t know if it’s damaged yet until you get your multimeter so you can check voltages on the pins. The circuit board that you see in the motor is for the hall sensors. They get their 5 volt supply from the controller...

I was just thinking along similar lines. The cyc x1 is an absolute power house. Maybe better off upgrading to a BBSHD and be done with it. Cheaper, safer and more reliable. And the cyc pro gen 3 is even more ridiculous at 5kW.

And to make matters even more complicated for you the X1 can use a 72v battery. It has a BAC855 controller which is a monster.

I like the bit in the description where it says “ This battery is physically the smallest we do yet still have enough power for the BBSHD and CYC Stealth motors”.

I noticed the cyc x1 is rated at 2Kw, so even that battery won’t unleash its full potential. The problem is weight and size limitations on your bike for an even bigger battery. Also it will put even more strain on your gear set at 2Kw. I get some nasty crunches when I get it wrong at 1500 watts.

Yes that’s more like what you need. I use a backpack battery because I don’t have enough room to mount it on the bike easily and I want to keep the weight off the frame.

You need to choose your battery depending upon how much range you are looking for and your riding style. If you intend to let the motor do all of the work for you at 1500 watts then you will be pumping 30 amps out of the battery, so a 10ah battery will give you 20 minutes of continuous riding...
