Basic Motor Kit Installation Instructions
Installing the Cyclone kit requires basic mechanical skills and
a few specialized bicycle tools. Detailed instructions are included
with each kit. Photos below are for general information only.
Here are the basic steps:
Use a crank removal tool to take off the cranks.
Replace the original cranks with those supplied in the kit - this includes the new freewheeling chainring.
If cables pass under the bottom bracket, get them loose and reroute them out of the way.
With the crank reassembled, mount the motor to the bike with the universal bracket.
If required, use a chain breaker to open the chain and add several links for proper deraileur operation.
Align the motor so the sprocket is exactly in line with the chainring.
Mount the throttle to the handlebars - switch the gear shifter to the left, mount the throttle on the right.
Install the new brake handles with the motor cutoff switches built in. This is a necessary safety device!
Mount the batteries - a rear rack is great for this purpose.
Route all wiring neatly and use tie-wraps to secure it to the frame.
Plug everything in and double-check your work before testing the bike.
Make sure the batteries are fully charged then go have some FUN !
