Auto-correct gets me everytimeI got my last hub motor from Amazon. Good price & quick shipping. I've also bought two 48v liposuction batteries thru Amazon

My complete fatbike came with riser bars despite the frame coming with a very bizarre headtube design to lower the stem and therefore the bars. They're the narrower width bars, too; like around 31.8 x 540mm or something from equivalent of the wallmarts and things like that. No logic to it other than these cheap bikes are bought mainly for young/tween/teenage kids by less than knowledgeable parents and the least material used in their manufacture makes the most profit, I suppose. I wish they'd not make me need to buy a second handlebar straight away to replace the one thats too short. I wouldn't actually mind having to cut down a bar once or twice instead!Gonna "try" to take the Cyclone off of my old bike and put it onto the fat tire bike. Bought about $100 worth of parts to do the migration. I hope its not rusted permanently... Made the series connection. I do need to cut the handle bar width down a bit. They are so wide on this fat tire bike. WTF were the manufacturers thinking... I know its for shredding single tracks thats why its wide but it has no front shock. Best case scenario by the end of this weekend; it will be running but not "pretty" yet.

I cant quite remember and am not near the bike, but I think I have a 720mm bar to replace with. That's not long.
Was the cyclone originally fitted onto a fatbike? Did it fit well?
Is the cyclone a bottom bracket kit, or just the motor? Does it require a Sick Bike Parts "Electric Shift Kit" shift kit?
"100 mile+ Range"... lol talks cheap, prove it.
That's a big battery!If you go to Grin's ebike calculator it can help you determine the exact mileage to expect,from what I see above it looks like I could get 150 miles from 3.4 kwh as the hub motor I use yeilds 4 km per ah but this vary's a bit with conditions like hills,stop and go's and wind.you want me to ride 100+ miles. the battery is 3.4kwH. at 30mph that is 1kW (probably lower for me) for 3.5 hours = 100 miles. Also, at 20mph that is 500W so 6.8 hours = 136 miles. Take 10% as a reserve and that is 90 miles at 30 mph and 123 miles at 20 mph. dont worry i will do a real world range test. also this is on a fat bike so lower efficiency but im a light rider so i think it balances out.
100+ miles no problem, just go with pedal assist @ 10 to 15mph for 10+ hrs like b bassetyou want me to ride 100+ miles. the battery is 3.4kwH. at 30mph that is 1kW (probably lower for me) for 3.5 hours = 100 miles.
