Torque sensors are the best feeling for pedaling a electric bike. I compare it to having a stick shift on a hot rod car. Thanks for this review👍

Good to hear & see You being all happy with your new cyc gen. 2 mid drive. Your 700c donor bike looks a lot more safe than the folding bike in the previous video. You allready have done a lot of km's 3.000 on it. Wich overall is a good sign! Keep up: the good work in London and smile on your face :-) Ps I'm a bike messenger / delivery guy too in the Netherlands at the border close to Germany. And I have stayed in London, in 1997 in street "Pages Walk" during a holiday when I worked back then on the stock Exchange, live floor as a "runner" administrating trades done there in the pit. On Sunday we went to the pubs, horse betting races and a 18+ entertainment place called "the church" Maybe you know and have seen those places too. Nice city to live and work in.

Haha yeah the 700cc is much safer than the folding bike. Currently working on putting together a fairly cheap MTB, because even the 700cc bike is not all that rigid. About London, I live in the south west so I don’t spend much time in the heart of London. But I know what you mean and it sounds like you head a hell of a fun time haha. Thank you, best wishes from London!

Haha no worries, even though the cyc is pretty good and better than a standard BBSHD, but BBSHD with a good controller is an animal I still miss mine, the power was insane. Maybe one day I can get ASI BAC 2000 for the CYC and then I’ll change my mind haha

hi valentine, what is the fastest speed you can go at top speed? In km/hr or mph? Really hope you have time to answer this, I've been wondering for a while as its nowhere on their site, thanks in advance!

You do deliveroo, how many miles do you roughly get out of it? I don't like the part where you said that as it is torque sensor if you pedal hard enough it will push straight 1500 watts through it, that surely refuces the range a lot. I do deliveroo too and got a 2kw hub motor, I do get about 40 miles a day and still have a little battery left

How is the cyc motor holding up? I thinking using it for SunTrip 2021 12,000km race/tour. But concerned about reliability of the chain ring, BB and freewheel. Will be taking spare parts and grease for sure. But don't want be weighted down to much by spare parts.

But so far at about 4000km no problems apart from braking the chainring bolts but CYC has updated to stainless steel bolts if you buy a new kit

Nothong beats a hub motor in reliability to be honest, but fixing punctures is a pain in the backside, for a long roadtrip I don't raccomend high power motors, I'd say go with a 500 max 750w motor. Mid drives have so many points that can fail, chain, gears, cluch... hub motor has none (direct drive)

@@gursisingh1940 Yes that is true direct drive hub such a simple design nothing really break. They also get higher efficiency on the flats too. Debating getting Grin's new DD hub motor. Lot people on Sun trip go with 1000 - 1500 watt motors and run them half power. Because less heat / stress on the motor. I really do like mid drives though they are so nice on the hills. Hubs are awful on the hills. That only down fall with them.
