One problem with the CYC and probably others, is the Q factor, which is how wide the stance is over the pedals. If it is too narrow or too wide knee problems can develop. I need a narrow stance. If I try to ride a bike with a triple crank (larger stance) I will shortly have knee pain. If you do not pedal often and just depend on the motor, you will be fine
I've seen a video before , I can't find it now. It's not sure of the new ones , but the old ones were not super loud but noticeable. I would find it annoying after a while I'm sure
@@vedantagarwal2988 thanks for the honest input I appreciate that. It looks ike a very powerful and capable motor. That sound though. I see people riding barely 10mph, and it sounds like a Sun Ron going 50mph. Can hear it from a block away.
Absolute top quality video, i have been searching for this exact video of a CYC build for ages, btw your battery looks like it weighs nothing placing it into frame one handed my 48v 15ah is like 5kg, lol
Was that 40 mile-an-hour test done using a throttle or the torque sensor and did it plateau due to your legs or an imposed limitation from the controller
What full suspension mtb’s do you recommend for a project like this? My budget is $2000 - $4000 for the bike itself. Preferably a carbon frame and not an enduro build. Something all mountain or trail oriented. Appreciate the advice!
I'm thoroughly convinced CYC will be dominant in the coming years as the only thing keeping Bafang viable is Hub drives and general ignorance on the part of the consumer
Thanks for making this! So few vids out on the performance. Can you tell us about the sound? Is it really quieter than Gen 2? (Also, watch your knees, bro. You have the saddle set so low!)
Are you satisfied with this frame battery bag? Does the battery stay in it stably? Is there a risk of it overheating on hot summer days? I'm asking because I'm thinking about a similar conversion.
So I'm Currently using the bafang 750w, and wanting to upgrade.. Which CYC motor would be best for 30-45 minute commutes at 35Mph on the street ? "Without having heating issues"
AHHH ... What Battery is he using ?! I need the same shape/size .... any suggestions ? ali express doesn't have the best selection of 52v small triangles
Got mine in June, had 2 months of fun, and the motor blew in August after 150 miles. The motor has thousands of magnet particles all over the inside of the motor visible thru the glass after chewing up the magnets that flew off the rotor. CYC sent me a replacement rotor and 2 loose bearings lol. I told them they need to send a replacement motor and new gaskets (that's what they sent baconbutties on utube who had the same issue). They handle the utuber warranty correctly, and are gonna stiff the rest of us who are suffering the same motor issues. Why would they just send a rotor to repair a motor that pulverized magnets into thousands of tiny chunks? No mention of testing the coils which could be damaged, so that nec step to a motor rebuild is disregarded. And what would happen after you attempted to blow out the thousands of magnet chunks, missed a few (I don't think it's possible to get them all), replaced the rotor, then returned it to service only to have these chunks start flying around in the motor (there goes another rotor). My experience was awesome for 2 months, and now it sucks waiting on them to send me the proper parts. A replacement rotor is BS when they know their customers aren't capable of a proper motor rebuild. Wish I would have gotten a bafang now lol. I'm still waiting to hear if CYC will send me the required parts for a decent repair (replacement motor and gaskets).
Same here... after 3 months left me dead at a stop light in rush hour traffic. Have been ghosted by Golden Motors. Sold my 3 year old BBSHD powered bike I built to a roommate. He still rides. I pay a quarter of my take home pay to Lyft and Uber. My difference? 215 miles, no error codes, battery and display fine. Oh, and my clear plastic core cover came out of the box shattered. Got a red billet aluminum replacement out of pocket from ElectrifyBike of Utah.
Which is exactly the reason I'm not throwing down £1000 on a golden motor dude. I expect it to last and after-sales to resolve it, if it doesn't, if they aren't interested they can forget the sale.
I want to buy that motor, X1 Pro Gen 3 3500w. But what voltage should I need for battery? 52/60/72? And 20ah is enough for 25-30 miles range or I need more?
Looking for a mid mount kit i want to fit. Nice video. While I like mid mount ebike conversion motors, that thing is massive. Looking how big it is, straight away, I would never get one
Could you kindly tell us what is the brand name of the frame bag you place your battery in. Have not yet found any that fits my bike and this one looks about the right size to fit Vitus Mythique 2021. Thanks
Funny I was going to say *"mud guards."* Great TH-cam product! Start researching *"dirt bikes"* as that's what you're riding now. You'll need hand guards, foot pegs a good pair of gloves but other than that spot on.

Mr. Brittle-knees out here concern-trolling.
Just RAISE THE SEAT
Thanks for all the details! Incredibly helpful.
seems like every video tries to hide the sound of the motor. It must still be very loud
I've seen a video before , I can't find it now. It's not sure of the new ones , but the old ones were not super loud but noticeable. I would find it annoying after a while I'm sure
I have one and it is quite loud. Pushing it at 3500-4000 watts lvl 5 sounds pretty insane. Def not quieter but still and amazing motor for me.

i cant wait to put to the test 2 fat bikes both 72v one with a bbshd and luda v2 controller at 70a and the CYC pro gen 3.

It's called preference you turd and it depends on what type of riding you do

Are the cranks that come with the Gen 3 setup for 1/2" or 9/16" pedals?
lol, I couldn't sleep at night knowing I had uploaded a video with sound as bad as this....

What brand of framepack are you using to hold the battery? Looks like it will be perfect for my bike.
It’s a custom pack designed by us.
Please reach out to admin@goldenmotor.ca
AHHH ... What Battery is he using ?! I need the same shape/size .... any suggestions ? ali express doesn't have the best selection of 52v small triangles
Do you think that the drivetrain can last at short periods of 5000w full blast without major consequences and hurting the drivetrain's lifespan?
From looking at other videos no.

Replacement core on my motor coming tomorrow. I will see if I have the same issue as you did.

What was the top speed? Can you do top speed with pas only too?
I want to buy that motor, X1 Pro Gen 3 3500w. But what voltage should I need for battery? 52/60/72? And 20ah is enough for 25-30 miles range or I need more?
Yes
Does the cyc twist throttle come with grips or can i add my own grips
Any problems so far?
Do you guy have these in stock or is there a huge wait again for anything cyc?
Yes we will have them first week of March :)
The only reason to review this is the fact is supports 72v obviously on a 52v battery it will perform exactly the same as any other 52v ebike ..
Does adapters for press fit bb come in kit?
Thanks for this video very informative!
Crazy seeing this kit on a $9000CAD bike lol
Hey man where did you get that battery from?
From goldenmotor.ca
Looking for a mid mount kit i want to fit. Nice video. While I like mid mount ebike conversion motors, that thing is massive. Looking how big it is, straight away, I would never get one
What battery pack is that?
Hi there was just wondering where you purchased your battery and may be you could send me a link to the store…… Thank you paul
It’s a custom battery pack you can reach out at admin@goldenmotor.ca
can this be fitted to the Engwe M20 ebike
How long did it take to arrive since the time you ordered it?
Mine took from 3/1/2023 to 6/10/2023 order-to-door. So 14 and a half weeks. Damaged. Functional unit? longer than that.
Where can we find the battery from the video?
You can reach out to the team at admin@goldenmotor.ca
Can this motor use a 48v-72v battery?
Could you kindly tell us what is the brand name of the frame bag you place your battery in. Have not yet found any that fits my bike and this one looks about the right size to fit Vitus Mythique 2021. Thanks
It’s a custom battery bag sized to fit
This bike. Please email us at admin@goldenmotor.ca
If you are interested in one
Funny I was going to say *"mud guards."* Great TH-cam product! Start researching *"dirt bikes"* as that's what you're riding now. You'll need hand guards, foot pegs a good pair of gloves but other than that spot on.
foot pegs with a CYC motor...nah
looks good
Muj you need a rear fender buddy
Nice vid, windshields for mic's are cheap, get some 😜
You need a foam cover for your microphone or face away from the wind
looks like Heinze park in Michigan
Seems to struggle up hill huh?
7:10 you skipped the part where you have to choose amount of washers before installing the pedals
don't u have to put grease on the spindle before installing it
wow...top speed hit around 36mph...lol....so this technically is not street legal..but thats awesome!
I have a trek Marlin 6, if I add this motor, what's the range test
Can I get 50 miles total, while driving 28 miles speed, thanks keep up the great work.
😃
You could record a voice after video. .
