Diamondback Ebike with 500w cyclone motor part 2

a quick overview with commentary, and a little more detail than the first part.

Part 3 will have a quick ride & part 4 will have an onboard ride.
have not worked out how to mount the camera on the bike yet...

the final part will be a comparison of the new LiFePo4 pack that i have ordered.

Cool bike! - I guess you only have one crank selection since it's a freewheeling one ? I am looking into making an EV biky myself, and i have 21 gears on the bike, but seldom use more than one of the crank sprockets. Where did you purchase the freewheeling crank ? Thanks!

@zaprodk

thanks for the comment.

the freewheel came with the cyclone kit.

this particular bike had only one front chain ring.

my current ebike has 2 front rings, and an 11 speed internal gear hub at the rear,

and has a front motor.

my current ride is 48V and is much more efficient than the cyclone ever was.

not quite as much hill climbing ability, but no tthat much less either.

Hey mate, I have the video of the bike on a different youtube account...it's this one.

@PaulJunkoKris

got a link to the other video ?

i can assure you that i owned the bike at the time the video was shot, and i filmed all of the video too.

i have since sold the bike to someone else, and moved on to a much more efficient (and powerful) ebike.

the bag on the rear is exactly the same size as the battery.

it came with the battery when i bought it.

my new 48V ebike has an even bigger battery.

im working on a way to mount the battery inside the frame (triangle area)

@exaturbo Thankyou, I am just about to start an doing my first ebike 48v 500w BMSbattery kit, one more question if you dont mind, your battery bag what is the lengh of it? My battery is 36cm long and ive had a hard time finding a bag it will fit into.

Thanks again

@Sageh44

hello.

thanks. the yellow gps is mounted using the standard mount that came with it.

the cycle analyst is mounted using a topeak bar xtender

[Sageh44]

hi, nice bike, where did you get the bar that the GPS is attached too?

@kauaikit

im about to start building a new ebike.

this one will be substantially more powerful than the first.

ill be running a ezee hub motor on 48V

have to be honest, there was a fair bit of noise assosiated with the mid mount motor, but it really didn't bother me that much to tell the truth.

the 200W limit imposed on us by the australian Govt, is ridiculously low.

i personally would not even bother with only 200W. the diampodback at 500W was only just adequate. cant imagine 200W
