E-bike with Cyclone 500W motor kit and NuVinci variator in action - 42km/h on flat!

[cdmharley]

Thats wicked!!! I want to convert my bike now!!! when you go passed the cars their like "what the fuck"??!!! "He's not even Pedalling"!!!

[3dSorcery]

Better hope someone doesn't open their car door... ouch!

[insaneflipboy]

thanks i will have a look cheers mate !!¬!

[insaneflipboy]

i have the 720w cyclone kit and get 36mph with pedal assist using lead acids but that caned the battery so now movin over to lifepo4 good vid ! does anyone know where i can get cycle analyst from in uk ?? please need advice and how to fit to my bike

[zanydeath]

Acceleration. is a bit too slow to be riding on heavily populated streets for my liking. A 1200 watt cyclone kit with 48 volt Lipos would be better.I prefer the added power if you encounter an instance where it's needed. Still, even a 500 watt Cyclone kit is great value and pretty fast. Thanks for the video.

[blaster2012]

Very nice,it's as fast as most people will need.Whats it like up hills? Pretty powerful with the gearing i reckon.I think i will get this kit,it seems to beat hub motors of a similar output.Oh and Pudersepp.as for going 80kph,thats just madness.If you come off,you will die.In fact thats just the kind of stupidity liable to draw attention to ebikes,and get them banned for the rest of us.

[14sJakeB190]

Is that legal?

Do police ever stop you or question you?

[insaneflipboy]

@14sJakeB190 hi, i have never been stopped. i have changed the rear wheel for cassette type, it used to be 14 tooth at 36mph, now its 11 tooth at 44mph. gearing plays a massive part in speed increase. i pass mopeds with ease. A van driver said he was well impressed. my bike is a real head turner..people shout look at him go!. i passed a scooby in a 30 zone and in his rear window a sticker said "catch me if you can" when i did he kicked back the gears then burnt passed me ! that was hilarious.

[Pudersepp]

One important thing, if you mind, how heavy are you circuitdotlt? I'm near 100kg, and I wanna go at least 80km/h. Any recommendations?

[circuitdotlt]

@Pudersepp I'm 69 kg.

To go 80km/h you might need at least 3-4 kW (depends on acceleration you want). And I doubt NuVinci will hold this kind of power.

[555russe]

@Pudersepp there is  w w w .stealthelectricbikes .c o m but that things cost a lot of money

[tuxdaniel]

@Pudersepp Bicycles aren't made to run at 80km/h and if you have 100kg you certainly would die early at your first crash at 80km/h upside a bike.

[dennisdeslager0]

does it go 62 km\h??? that's fast

[tapholov]

You should mention that you are running a NuVinci hub in the title of the clip. That's the kind of detail that's important. Not a lot of people do on e-bikes.

[circuitdotlt]

@tapholov Thanks for your comment, fixed the problem.

[gimpng]

gal parduotum tu man jį? :)

[circuitdotlt]

@gimpng Jau parduotas, nebeturiu :)

[virdzinio]

idomu kaip praeiviai reguoja kai vazioji nemindamas pedalu,juk retas kuris pastebi kad el.varikliukas yra

[circuitdotlt]

Įsivaizduok kaip vairuotojai stovintys kamštyje reaguoja kai važiuoji šaligatviu į kalną nemindamas, 60 km/h....

[punchas19]

Vai vai, geras dalykas :)

[Macfanman]

how do you increase or decrease the speed?

[bricoak]

A simple throttle control on the handlebar, similar to a motorbike. Twist backwards abd away you go. You can go up through the gears just like a mororbike too. Battery life is greaty extended if you pedal off from a standstill then open the throttle.

[rouscy]

What brand of Lifepo4 you use?

[circuitdotlt]

PSI 10 Ah round cells

[bricoak]

Nice video. I put a 500W Cyclone on my regular bike, 3 speed Sturmey Archer. Bought a 24v 30Ah Lifepo4 from Ebay. Did a round trip of 45 miles without running the battery low. At speeds over 20 mph I could not keep up with the pedaling and had to just sit there and be propelled. Very nice too. Top speed was a bit above 25 mph.  I find the Cyclone quiet too.

[aikaslbab]

"... and be propelled..."

You use propeller?

Can you put link to you electric bike video?

[gerlewis]

will this bike go up a steep hill without pedaling? also what speed? and what speed on the flat without pedaling?

(I dont wanna swaet on the way to my office job!)

Thanks, good video.

[copperhead88]

fun!

[Charles2337]

Jesus thats fast for a bike.

[bizonspirit]

I'm interested to buy the kits too. But for LiFePO4 24V 10Ah which one is better, 500 W or 360 Watt? I just need speed 20-30km/h and range 10-20km w/o pedal.

any advice? thanks

[circuitdotlt]

500W is better for sure. If you will ride it ~25 km/h, you will be able to get a range of about 18 km on flat (with mentioned batteries).

[circuitdotlt]

You can pedal anytime you want. You can help the motor or it can help you. Or you can pedal when your battery is flat.

[w3llet]

are cycling by yourself at anytime?

[kino261988]

where i can buy a kit like that? please... is that available or i can buy it online? and how much is that kit,,,

[eumegaf]

5/5

imagine this engine in a road bike, would be realy fast.

[ampdavolts]

First rate excitement. Excellent show. Thanks!

[circuitdotlt]

Around 20-30km, it depends on road surface, wind, how many steep hills are to be climbed.. Most often I make ~25km.

[jimprice09]

how many km s on a charge ?

[kino261988]

nice speed!!!! 46 km/h flat.,.....

[exaturbo]

nice...

that's exactly the same performance mine has now that i am running LiFePo4 batteries.....

i have had mine up to 62km/h, but that was down a serious hill :-)

the old Ni-Mh pack sucked

[circuitdotlt]

Oh, and sorry for filming just the road - it turns out it is really difficult to point a standard photo camera mounted on my helmet to better view...

[circuitdotlt]

Weather is still cold here - only 6°C, windy..
