kit cyclone?

[qeeeme]

i heard and red a little bit about it
i guess it is far from the panasonic quality
- is it cheaper? (how much where to buy it?)
maybe if i go for it it will give me some assistance and i could put it on different bikes until i find the ideal for me (cause buying kalkhof or flyer is aftrer a big investment i cannot change the bike)

It's a motor which has been criticised for poor waterproofing and corrosion problems. It's chain path is not very satisfactory, using a sharp turn around a small nylon pulley, rather inefficient and possibly presenting lubrication problems over time. It's not remotely like a Panasonic motor unit.

At time they've been supplied with wiring problems and difficulties with support, but one recent purchaser reports the wiring was to specification again. They are not universal, and will only fit a limited number of frames with sufficient bottom bracket to rear wheel space.

It needs an extended bottom bracket spindle fitted and has to use dog leg cranks to clear the motor width, so pedalling is with the legs splayed apart. The 180 watt is very weak, the illegal 360 watt not too bad but not very powerful, the 500 watt ok but has a high power consumption.

Supplied direct from the makers in Taiwan, they don't accept credit cards but do use PayPal:
