one idea to avoid using you support system is take 2 pieces of aluminum 1/8 thick x 1.5 wide and a few inches long from the CYC motor frame to the bottom of your frame and securing with bolts on each end after drilling into lower frame in two spots on each side, 5 or 6mm short bolt with nut and washers, if you ever remove you can buy plastic black plugs that would fit in the holes, would look clean and be very sturdy, you could even paint the pieces or shape then so they look fancier rather then just two short rectangle pieces
Thank you for your feedback, I truly appreciate it. I would like to inform you that if you have watched my latest video regarding the sprocket replacement, you will notice that I have made some changes to the materials used. I have replaced the previous components with fully threaded rods made of 304 stainless steel, measuring M5 x 190mm. This change has significantly improved the security of the motor.
I'm glad you liked the video! 🎥 For safety reasons, I usually don't ride that fast. I was just doing it for the video, and that was the closest back road that not many cars use it. and also, a majority has a shoulders, and It's safe for bikers.
@sladdster, I am delighted that you enjoyed my video. Regarding the motor selection, I decided to go with a 120 mm motor because my down tube is quite wide. When I attempted to mount the motor using the motor hanger, the screws came dangerously close to hitting and potentially scratching my frame. This is exactly what happened to my friend Nelvick (diy500amp), which is his youtube channel that has the same bike brand. His screws made contact with the bike's frame, resulting in two unsightly scratches on the paint. Another reason I opted for the 120mm over the 100mm motor is its versatility. I can use this motor on my Kona Operator DL full-suspension bike as well. In my experience, these motors perform exceptionally well on full-suspension mountain bikes.
@@eBikeXtream thank you for the reply, was asking as I'm about to buy the same motor and looks like 100mm would fit my frame but thought 120mm kit may avoid any possible fitment issues due to my unusual frame characteristics on my particular bike
Thank you for making this video it is very informative and making me want to get one for myself to play. I’m thinking of trying to add another motor somehow maybe using a chain and sprocket on the other side of the motor linking the 2 together So it has better takeoff speed and stop the motors getting to hot. Do you think it would be possible to machine a spindle extension so you can put a sprocket on the other side of the motor?
I am happy to share my experience with this excellent motor. I have a question for you. What type of bike are you planning to install the second motor on? You may not need an additional motor. If you use a 72volt battery, it will provide you with ample power and torque. Try to keep the modifications minimal to fully enjoy the capabilities of this fantastic motor and have the best possible experience. When you install it, ensure you use a good quality suspension mountain bike. I have the Gen 3 motor on my Specialized Demo 8, and I absolutely love everything about the bike. It's an absolute blast to ride, which is why I purchased the Gen 4 motor. I've been enjoying it on my fat tire bike. The primary purpose of this bike is commuting to work during the summer and pulling my bike trailer when I go grocery shopping locally. Please let me know what type of bike you have. I would appreciate your feedback. Let's help and learn from each other.
Hi, Great video. I'm trying to do a similar conversion of my bike and also need to replace my rear wheel. I saw that your dimensions are the same as what I'm looking for. Have you been able to find a wheel without a motor that fits? One that fits a larger gear case?

Hello @levilies9956, I am delighted that you enjoyed my video. I am skilled with my hands, but not so much with video capturing and editing. That is why I used the Insta360 x3 and the remote to add the GPS speed in my test ride. I would like to suggest that you test ride an Aventon ebike before making a decision. They have local dealers all over the country. You can visit their website to find a shop near you. They offer seven models to choose from. If you are looking for a commuter bike, I recommend the Level 2. It has a top speed of 28 mph, a torque sensor, integrated headlights, taillights, turn signals, a color screen, fenders, a rear rack, and a USB power bank under the display. Currently, they are offering an extra battery for free (valued at $500) and $200 worth of accessories. The bike is priced at $1900, but with the current offer, you can get it for only $1200. If you do not need the extra battery, you can sell it. Aventon also has a great Facebook group called Aventon Adventure Owners Group, where you can connect with other Aventon owners and enthusiasts. I wish you the best of luck in choosing the right bike for you.
I'm glad you'd like it, and for Doing this on your pace 500, It is possible, but you're gonna end up spending a lot of money. Because you're not gonna able to use the bike battery. Because it's not powerful enough, you need to upgrade you're Derailler, You need sram eagle XO, XE, DX, Aventon Derailler Doesn't like the Hi Torque, And you're not going to be able to use the hub motor, Because you gotta take your bottom brackets out. Which has integrated torsensor, So you're only going to be able to the ride in 20mph, Using the throttle, It's pointless, Plus it's gonna fight you're cyc motor, So the best experience to get a full suspension mtb bike I'm converted to a monster, I already have full suspension downhill, a bike and I have the gen 3 on it, And I'd love everything about it, By the way, it's a specialized demo 8, Downhill bike. You can look on the marketplace and you might find a good deal, That's my recommendation to you, Or the worst, You can get a trek marlin 5, or 6, Around $400-500, My first conversion, was brand newTrek marvel 6, I love it, Is the only think it's missing is full Suspension, Once you tried, you will never go back. 🚵♂️🚴♂️🚲
Good stuff eb... Look fwd to your vid about overcoming aerodynamic drag resistance at higher speeds ... and speeding up human reaction times at higher speeds also. ;) Also I have twin 12VDC truck air horns.. just a thought.. :)
I will do the testing video, Hopefully by this weekend, I also have a second bike used last year model gen3 On my specialized demo 8, Full suspension, Downhill bike, I'm gonna do a lot of Testing, and I will Share my feedback, Also gonna explain the cyc ride app, and the DS103 display, So stay tuned. 🚴♂️🎥
@@eBikeXtream Tks eb... Context includes crowded urban planet averaging 20 miles daily to travel less than 20 miles an hour.. "downhill" includes streetcar tracks.. drains.. puddles .. yer neighbours dogs .. traffic... etc. ;) Good luck...
@kawana1961 I'm glad you liked the video, and yes, best experience with this motor to use.Full suspension downhill bike, You're gonna be amazed with the performance., You can also watch Neil's channel he's Awesome, youtube.com/@nielsbaardseth?si=20SiHaaRx6Gdb1RD You can also join cyc Owners group, on facebook, Ask question and he be the First 1 2 reply, And if we live in the united states, Best place to buy the kit It's from Bicycle motor works, He also build the best batteries, His name is matt. Good luck with your build.
Yes, it is designed to withstand extreme conditions such as rain, mud, dust, and snow. However, it is important to clean and lubricate the bike after heavy use to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your input. I am not using the stock battery with this kit because it is not powerful enough. I am using a jumbo shark battery that is 52v 25Ah with a 50A BMS. It can peak over 70A, but I cannot use it for too long. You can use your battery on street mode, but it is not ideal for this motor. If you want to enjoy the best performance, you should use a 72v battery. I am currently building a 72v battery with Samsung 50S cells and a Daly 100-200A BMS. Once I finish the battery build, I will share the video and show all the parts needed and how I built it. If you do not have the skills to build your own battery, you can purchase one from Bicycle Motor Works or Electrify Bike Company. This motor can be used with batteries ranging from 36v to 72v, but the performance will vary depending on the battery cells and BMS rating. Using a battery with a higher voltage will provide better torque and faster speed. You can also use your current battery as a backup in case you run out of juice, but only use it on street mode at a maximum speed of 25mph.
The Kona opera is used. Press fit 107mm, So you need to get the 120mm, You also need a Spacers. For the spacers, you can get it from Electrified bike company, Talk to adam Ostlund, He always chats and helps members on the CYC Owners group.. On facebook, I'm probably gonna work on the Kona Operator, Downhill bike, next month, I'll put the Gen. 3 on my specialized. Demo eight, And I print the spacer using my 3D printer That I purchased from the Micro center. I use ABS filament. The best motor from cyc is the x1 Gen4 And the stealth gen3, Skip the The photon, Overheat" issue, and controller. th-cam.com/video/5icbqkYn4do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mG1H5p7Cie4qc1fK
@@eBikeXtream thanks for the info. Very tempted to pull the trigger on this DIY, but the Enduro lineup from High Power Cycles is tempting too. Decisions!
@thecampokid Nice option, but it's very expensive, Even if you choose there lowest model, And end up getting a higher power motor and 17Ah battery. You're gonna end up paying at least $6000-$10000,Since you have the kona operator, you can get the cyc and the battery either. From Electrified bike company or bicycle motor works, again it's your choice.
@@eBikeXtream Unfortunately I don’t have the Kona yet. If I did it would be an easy DIY decision. It looks like I’ll save $1k-$1.5k doing it myself over buying new, if I can find a Kona for
@thecampokid Keep trying. Never give up. Do you know how much I pay for the kona Operator? .... $500 only , I also paid $500. For the specialized demo eight Carbon Frame , I got it from an owner for one of the businesses I deliver. Him and he's two sons, They're professional downhill bikers. So you tried to help me out by giving this insane price? Always ask people, you know. If they have something that they're not using. Always check the facebook marketplace. I Build my first cyc x1 gen3 with brand new trek marlin 6, and I loved it, but once I switched it to the specialized bike, It was a mind 🤯. I can't stop laughing and enjoying myself every time I ride this bike.
cool, but if you're not powering that heavy rear hub ... then why use that extremely heavy bike? you could shave like 20 lbs off that build. get a $500 dollar hard tail
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your input. I have already ordered two sets of Tradition Wheels, two front and two rear, from AliExpress. They have already been shipped, and I am eagerly waiting to receive them. I previously used a cheaper version, but the axle kept bending. I even purchased the Tradition hub itself and took it to Local bike shop. After waiting for a month, he informed me that he could not obtain the spokes as they were on back order. Consequently, I requested that they cease the construction.
@eBikeXtream i understand. and everything cost money too. I don't know your situation but I just think it could be more efficient on a lighter frame. :) keep building i love seeing other people's projects. those motors are super powerful it seems, looks better than my bbs02
I completely agree with you. The reason I built this bike is because I enjoy commuting and doing local grocery shopping. With this bike, I can pull a bike trailer behind me and still maintain a good speed without slowing down traffic, which can be dangerous. Also, if you watch the video about replacing the sprocket on my other mountain bike, which is Specialize demo 8, Full suspension downhill bike, powered by a Cyc X1 Pro Gen3 X12 controller, you'll see that it's a labor of love. I can ride that bike all day long as long as I have half a charge in the battery. I'm also building multiple batteries so that I can ride it for even longer periods of time.
Yes, it is a lot of fun. I actually tried mountain biking for the first time with my Specialized Demo Eight, Cyc X1 Pro Gen 3, X12 Controller, and 52V only. I had a wonderful and enjoyable experience. I never knew what I was missing out on. It was so much fun. Cycling with full suspension is the way to go.
one idea to avoid using you support system is take 2 pieces of aluminum 1/8 thick x 1.5 wide and a few inches long from the CYC motor frame to the bottom of your frame and securing with bolts on each end after drilling into lower frame in two spots on each side, 5 or 6mm short bolt with nut and washers, if you ever remove you can buy plastic black plugs that would fit in the holes, would look clean and be very sturdy, you could even paint the pieces or shape then so they look fancier rather then just two short rectangle pieces

I am delighted that you enjoyed my video. I am skilled with my hands, but not so much with video capturing and editing. That is why I used the Insta360 x3 and the remote to add the GPS speed in my test ride.
I would like to suggest that you test ride an Aventon ebike before making a decision. They have local dealers all over the country. You can visit their website to find a shop near you. They offer seven models to choose from.
If you are looking for a commuter bike, I recommend the Level 2. It has a top speed of 28 mph, a torque sensor, integrated headlights, taillights, turn signals, a color screen, fenders, a rear rack, and a USB power bank under the display. Currently, they are offering an extra battery for free (valued at $500) and $200 worth of accessories. The bike is priced at $1900, but with the current offer, you can get it for only $1200. If you do not need the extra battery, you can sell it.
Aventon also has a great Facebook group called Aventon Adventure Owners Group, where you can connect with other Aventon owners and enthusiasts.
I wish you the best of luck in choosing the right bike for you.
Great video! Thinking of doing this with my Pace 500.3. Are you still able to use the Aventon included hub motor?
I'm glad you'd like it, and for Doing this on your pace 500, It is possible, but you're gonna end up spending a lot of money. Because you're not gonna able to use the bike battery. Because it's not powerful enough, you need to upgrade you're Derailler, You need sram eagle XO, XE, DX, Aventon Derailler Doesn't like the Hi Torque, And you're not going to be able to use the hub motor, Because you gotta take your bottom brackets out. Which has integrated torsensor, So you're only going to be able to the ride in 20mph, Using the throttle, It's pointless, Plus it's gonna fight you're cyc motor, So the best experience to get a full suspension mtb bike I'm converted to a monster, I already have full suspension downhill, a bike and I have the gen 3 on it, And I'd love everything about it, By the way, it's a specialized demo 8, Downhill bike. You can look on the marketplace and you might find a good deal, That's my recommendation to you, Or the worst, You can get a trek marlin 5, or 6, Around $400-500, My first conversion, was brand newTrek marvel 6, I love it, Is the only think it's missing is full Suspension, Once you tried, you will never go back. 🚵♂️🚴♂️🚲
Good stuff eb... Look fwd to your vid about overcoming aerodynamic drag resistance at higher speeds ... and speeding up human reaction times at higher speeds also. ;) Also I have twin 12VDC truck air horns.. just a thought.. :)
I will do the testing video, Hopefully by this weekend, I also have a second bike used last year model gen3 On my specialized demo 8, Full suspension, Downhill bike, I'm gonna do a lot of Testing, and I will Share my feedback, Also gonna explain the cyc ride app, and the DS103 display, So stay tuned. 🚴♂️🎥
@@eBikeXtream Tks eb... Context includes crowded urban planet averaging 20 miles daily to travel less than 20 miles an hour.. "downhill" includes streetcar tracks.. drains.. puddles .. yer neighbours dogs .. traffic... etc. ;) Good luck...
@user-tn7dj9xl4n We'll do that, 👍 thanks for the feedback 😊
Nice vid. I will do the same with my bike :) DH are made for this motor :D
@kawana1961 I'm glad you liked the video, and yes, best experience with this motor to use.Full suspension downhill bike, You're gonna be amazed with the performance., You can also watch Neil's channel he's Awesome, youtube.com/@nielsbaardseth?si=20SiHaaRx6Gdb1RD
You can also join cyc Owners group, on facebook, Ask question and he be the First 1 2 reply, And if we live in the united states, Best place to buy the kit It's from Bicycle motor works, He also build the best batteries, His name is matt. Good luck with your build.
Nice motor, would it be safe to drive this motor in the rain?
Yes, it is designed to withstand extreme conditions such as rain, mud, dust, and snow. However, it is important to clean and lubricate the bike after heavy use to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
What is your bikes battery stock BMS rated for? I want to do this with my Voltbike, but im wondering if its worth running an x1 at 48V and 20-25 amps
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your input. I am not using the stock battery with this kit because it is not powerful enough. I am using a jumbo shark battery that is 52v 25Ah with a 50A BMS. It can peak over 70A, but I cannot use it for too long. You can use your battery on street mode, but it is not ideal for this motor. If you want to enjoy the best performance, you should use a 72v battery. I am currently building a 72v battery with Samsung 50S cells and a Daly 100-200A BMS. Once I finish the battery build, I will share the video and show all the parts needed and how I built it. If you do not have the skills to build your own battery, you can purchase one from Bicycle Motor Works or Electrify Bike Company. This motor can be used with batteries ranging from 36v to 72v, but the performance will vary depending on the battery cells and BMS rating. Using a battery with a higher voltage will provide better torque and faster speed. You can also use your current battery as a backup in case you run out of juice, but only use it on street mode at a maximum speed of 25mph.
Great video! I’m also considering this motor for a Kona Operator build. Super interested to see how it works for you!
The Kona opera is used. Press fit 107mm, So you need to get the 120mm, You also need a Spacers. For the spacers, you can get it from Electrified bike company, Talk to adam Ostlund, He always chats and helps members on the CYC Owners group.. On facebook, I'm probably gonna work on the Kona Operator, Downhill bike, next month, I'll put the Gen. 3 on my specialized. Demo eight, And I print the spacer using my 3D printer That I purchased from the Micro center. I use ABS filament. The best motor from cyc is the x1 Gen4 And the stealth gen3, Skip the The photon, Overheat" issue, and controller. th-cam.com/video/5icbqkYn4do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mG1H5p7Cie4qc1fK
@@eBikeXtream thanks for the info. Very tempted to pull the trigger on this DIY, but the Enduro lineup from High Power Cycles is tempting too. Decisions!
@thecampokid Nice option, but it's very expensive, Even if you choose there lowest model, And end up getting a higher power motor and 17Ah battery. You're gonna end up paying at least $6000-$10000,Since you have the kona operator, you can get the cyc and the battery either. From Electrified bike company or bicycle motor works, again it's your choice.
@@eBikeXtream Unfortunately I don’t have the Kona yet. If I did it would be an easy DIY decision. It looks like I’ll save $1k-$1.5k doing it myself over buying new, if I can find a Kona for
@thecampokid Keep trying. Never give up. Do you know how much I pay for the kona Operator? .... $500 only , I also paid $500. For the specialized demo eight Carbon Frame , I got it from an owner for one of the businesses I deliver.
Him and he's two sons, They're professional downhill bikers. So you tried to help me out by giving this insane price? Always ask people, you know. If they have something that they're not using. Always check the facebook marketplace.
I Build my first cyc x1 gen3 with brand new trek marlin 6, and I loved it, but once I switched it to the specialized bike, It was a mind 🤯. I can't stop laughing and enjoying myself every time I ride this bike.
cool, but if you're not powering that heavy rear hub ... then why use that extremely heavy bike? you could shave like 20 lbs off that build. get a $500 dollar hard tail
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your input. I have already ordered two sets of Tradition Wheels, two front and two rear, from AliExpress. They have already been shipped, and I am eagerly waiting to receive them. I previously used a cheaper version, but the axle kept bending. I even purchased the Tradition hub itself and took it to Local bike shop. After waiting for a month, he informed me that he could not obtain the spokes as they were on back order. Consequently, I requested that they cease the construction.
@eBikeXtream i understand. and everything cost money too. I don't know your situation but I just think it could be more efficient on a lighter frame. :) keep building i love seeing other people's projects. those motors are super powerful it seems, looks better than my bbs02
I completely agree with you. The reason I built this bike is because I enjoy commuting and doing local grocery shopping. With this bike, I can pull a bike trailer behind me and still maintain a good speed without slowing down traffic, which can be dangerous. Also, if you watch the video about replacing the sprocket on my other mountain bike, which is Specialize demo 8, Full suspension downhill bike, powered by a Cyc X1 Pro Gen3 X12 controller, you'll see that it's a labor of love. I can ride that bike all day long as long as I have half a charge in the battery. I'm also building multiple batteries so that I can ride it for even longer periods of time.
@eBikeXtream dang I'm gonna have to watch more of your videos ! I herd the full suspension can be a little more tricky
Yes, it is a lot of fun. I actually tried mountain biking for the first time with my Specialized Demo Eight, Cyc X1 Pro Gen 3, X12 Controller, and 52V only. I had a wonderful and enjoyable experience. I never knew what I was missing out on. It was so much fun. Cycling with full suspension is the way to go.
