Cyclone Electric Bike kit 360W motor running on LiPo Helicopter batteries
Cyclone kit with 360W motor. I used RC helicopter batteries to power the bike. They are 2 22.2V, 5AH LiPo batteries run in parallel for 10AH total capacity. These are each at Hobbyking plus shipping. The bike draws about 10.4A at 19.6 mph so roughly 19 miles range according the the math (hills, wind, pedaling matter a lot). Max current with the built-in speed control is 32A. The battery is rated at 200A max so there is no problem there. Battery pack plus charger weighs 1.8 kg. Being able to use the bike’s gears with the motor is a huge plus because you don’t need a powerful motor for hills, just use low gear.
I have owned and ridden hub motor bikes, a Zap friction drive bike, and this Cyclone kit. Overall I like the direct drive hub motors the best because they are so simple, reliable and quiet. However in a hilly area the Cyclone would definitely be better.

THANK YOU ALEX NOW I KNOW WHAT PROJECT TO WORK FOR YOUR DAD WILL LOVE IT !
I would change first gear to a bigger cog and then it will climb the hills easily
ATTENTION: FRAUD WITH CYCLONE KITS. I was robbed in 800 euros for cyclone-tw. The first kit lasted 30 minutes, I repeat, lasted 30 minutes, burned. I complained, responded to e-mail 4º. They sent me a new engine, arrived broken, (demagnetized). Makes 4 km to 35 km/h. Open your eyes don't be fooled. Cheaper and better Kit. http://www.power-e-bike.fr/fr/configurateur-moteur-pour-velo-electrique/kit-moteur-arriere-nine-continent-rh205c-type-s-specifique-sans-batterie.html# https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od_slxqSMwE
i recon if u had the 500w hub u would made it easy.
when do you recharge your batteries? When they are 22volts for example or under 22v?
RV-120 is big outrunner brushless motor ,low KV , Lightweight , good for electric conversions ,you can see the motor at: New electric motor outrunner 5kw -best bldc motor for scooter, e bike, go-kart , electric vehicles.
does AH matter in terms of speed? will it be any faster with 15 or 20 amp hours?
Great video I'm planning on making an electric mountain bike so I can take it on some mountain bike trails, only legal way to ride a motorized bike at a park. I like that its a hybrid bike. I've ordered a GNGelectric mid drive kit.
Hi! i wanna do the same, already have the batteries, but can't find on cyclone web page a 44.4 V kit, can you send me the link specific of this kit? regards!
Heck yeah it's a 5 speed Geo Metro, automatic transmission is a bad word at my house.
