It's a shame Australian laws prohibit anything over 200w. I'm in the process of building up my road bike and considering equipping it with either the 750w or 1000w cyclone kit. How reliable is it? Have you had any issues since installation?

Reliability isn't an issue we have customers and bicyclestore staff who have completed over or close to 15,000 klm without any issues and still going strong, technically motor wear isn't an issue.

I'm sorry but there's no way 200W will go at 42kph no matter how you have it geared. Unless you have some kind of full fairing to beat the wind. Or can pedal like a maniac. Good systems though they can't beat the laws of physics. FYI It takes roughly 290watts for a road racing bike with the rider in a full crouch to travel at 42km/h on flat ground.

Just because a motor is rated at 200w doesn't stop you from pumping more amps or volts into it.

The reason why the kit performs so well is because the motor drives the driven-chain directly. In the demonstration video the cyclone electric kit is fitted to a hardtail mountain bike and a Townie comfort bike, both provide the ability to reach these road speeds effortlessly. It is true that pumping more amps or volts increases performance, however the batteries used are just 24V 10amp, a typical factory approved setup.

I believe you on its performance. I was just pointing out the physical reality that it takes a certain amount of power to go that fast, no matter how the power is applied. What I'm saying is that your 200w kit is pumping out more than 200w, or it wouldn't be going 42km/h on the flat. It takes over 200W to beat wind resistance alone at that speed.

[bicyclestoreau]

I can assure you the motor is 200W, we know this for a fact because of Australian regulations do not permit us to sell anything over 200W so we bench test output of these motors to assure that the motors we sell are in compliance.

Looks good :) One question. As the bike goes at faster speeds than normal, do you need to upgrade the braking system?

[GiancarloRed1]

Road transport authorities in Australia are working to a 250W standard pedal-driven electric bike (called Pedelec) within the bicycle code, anything above 250W or that is throttle based (ie meaning you don't need to pedal) won't be classed a bicycle but a scooter and be subject to different rules, rego etc. This should in theory apply also to conversion kits where bikes are ridden in public areas. Urban Mover Australia is one company offering pure pedelecs here.

why is he peddling?

[nepalikancha12]

m in melbourne. I am interested to get one of these bikes but i have some questions like why do u need pedals? when u have electric stuff running and when in uphill is it difficult, do we need to keep on pedalling

[NWforager]

1way: this is true for a hub motor which does not use the gears. This motor will assist the rider though all the gears. With a large enough chainring ,in theory it can go far faster than 25mph with the 200w batt. But yes, this set-up is made for pedaling too.

[Thegreenroomgroup]

yep an easy 100w from the rider and 200 from the motor... gives another benifit in a hot contry like Australia it would be like riding down hill, low effort high speed keeping you nice and cool.

[bizonspirit]

How fast you can go without pedaling? Is the kits in video one chain wheel or three chain wheel?
