Electric Bikes - Cyclone compared to a Wisper 905e

See my Cyclone 250watt 24volt Electric bike (kit) compared to my modified Wisper Works 905e Electric bike with normal and then 22mph off road mode. You can see the different types of system at work, one through the gears and the other a hub motor with restricted and unrestricted modes.

Are the rear gears useful with only 250W motor?

[garygadget15]

Very much so, I have worn out a couple of chains and a rear cassette so far. But as I said before normal running amps suggest the motor is nearer a 350watt one..

what if you put the hub motor and the cyclone on at the same time? ;)

@sona11111111

Tried that - and needs a front wheel hub not rear as mine was and would probably make you a 2 wheel drive bike, but not sure how it would turn corners!!

any problem with your Cyclone 250watt until now? what speed do you get with Cyclone 250watt - 10A24V without pedal?

[garygadget15]

Still going, only issues I have had is with the chain stretching and a couple of rear cogs needing replacement (due to chain). Speed on flat without pedalling in top gear is around 20MPH

Check out my video 1200w cyclone 70kmh

What did you do in order to prevent the pedals from rotating when the motor is running?

[1foxtrot70]

I could never get my 10 speed to shift that smooth.

this can't be healthy for a freewheel...

I have to agree with you, I have both a Cyclone and a Wisper, and I like riding the Cyclone much more. However, the Wisper would be better if you were commuting as they get further to a battery. My 500W Cyclone will sit at 40km/hr easily and over 55km/hr with a tail wind. The good thing with the Cyclone's drive system is that when you get to the motors max speed, you can shift up another gear and use the boost again. A hub motor can't do that.

the gear ratio is only 2.5 right???? how can that be ?
