3000w cyclone What am I in for

Well now let's see........Take the integral of the voltage drop from 58v to 45v. X avg. amps, times the distance...........mmm, anyway, maybe something like that. I'm not an EE. I suppose if you limit the current to an already low wattage/efficient motor and you help out you could get some pretty good mileage out of one of these packs. I run at a fairly steady 10 amps with spikes to 30 on the hills and acceleratiing and when I goose the throttle to get ahead of some traffic, or get away from a stop if I have not thought ahead enough to gear down. I am always on pedal assist set at 3 and 4 out of the available 9. My setup will do 30 mph no problemo on pure throttle. It is too scary. I stay at 23 max. (pedaliing)

The battery that Luna has says it has the potential of a 100 mile range it is the square 52v 20ah one
I wonder how they figure that
The cnc dude is coming over to the shop today to take a look at what it will take to make my support
bracket set up
his off the top of his head price is the first run will be what I thought $300.00 to $400.00 dollars
I don't know If I want to spend that much ,if that's the case I will make them by hand.
scroll saw, ban saw, drill press. chop cut grind old school.

I am wondering, however, If there is going to be some easily obtainable, reliable, 72 volters coming along. I can almost imagine what this cyclone 3k will do with a powerful, high amper. Until then I will probably be using the 52 volter I have been running with the bbshd - 20 ah. Goes pretty good.
Am hoping to stumble into a decent 29er, used, with a decent shocked front. Finally know somewhat what the components should be like. Now know some of the difference between deore and deore xt. The xt works very well. Crazy how many bike components are out there.
I get it now I 'am a little slow on the up take
My wife was in the bike business for a while she worked at a Hi end bike shop for a wile and use to go to the trade shows
she says that it is crazy how the new stuff for bikes updates every year always something better on the horizon
Question what kind of range are you getting with your set up
thankx for the come back
Not much to do in the shop today waiting now to meet with the cnc guy so he can see what I need and how much it will cost to make it.
Bill.

Ok dudes this is the cake in the cake3 this is exactly the size I need for the middle wedge support
I cant make the outer wedge until I get the outer support plate made that will be the next step
That's enough for me for today tomorrow is another day
Live long and prosper1 Photo

Greetings and salutations to all you cyclone 3000w heads
Not much new
I set up a meeting with my cnc guy to take a look at my motor mount design
From the pictures that I emailed him he says it's a piece of cake
The next big thing is ok how much is this going to cost me
I've had him make me motorcycle parts before and usually a simple design usually runs $200.00 to $300.00 for the first run
After the initial set up it usually runs about $25.00 bucks a copy to make them. I will press on
The more that I check out the little cyclone 3000w set up the more I like it
It is a very simple design I think it just needs some better parts to go with it, like the Luna crank Ounce I get this thing set up and testing it
I will order that and upgrade the whole crank set up.
But first get the motor hard mounted to the frame so there is no flex
With the torque strap and the 36v 15ah bat it is solid (But) when I get the luna 52v 20ah bat I think it will need more
support to keep it tight in the cradle
This gary fisher has to be able to be used like a motorcycle and hold up and not be breaking all the time
If this whole ebike thing pans out I have another mount design on paper that is a full cradle mount
On a lot of the stupid power race bikes that I work on the engine has it's own cradle that just bolts up to the frame
This kind of mount wont be cheap to cnc but would be the cats meow
When I can get my hands on a new Luna 52v 20ah batt I will put it all on the dyno and see what's up
See what kinda speeds I can get what kind of data I can collect on batt power and power usage
How hot the motor and controller gets under hard conditions
I will be great fun
Cheers Bill.

Mail man showed up with the bag for the controller it turned out great
clean package.
lucked out with that one
Stoked waiting for Luna cycle to restock the 52v 20ah square battery
last I talked to them they said in about 4 weeks to me it is worth the wait
They seem to be great people to buy from straight up.1 Photo

Another change in the bracket so I can add a left side torque to Mr. Fisher
It never ends it's a sickness1 Photo

ALL AMPED OUT
A few changes but your concept
That is a paper template I have to take it to my cnc guy who makes parts for my motorcycle builds
and have him cut me one out and trim it up a lot more make it pretty
Today I might try to get the molding clay out shove it up in between the arms and make a aluminum wedge
tie them tougher to make a stiffer mount
Dude we are in kahootz on this
Cyclone made in China Made better in USA1 Photo
