Really appreciate the detailed build video. Thank you for posting!

I managed to install the system with your help.Thank you very much. You are soo great!

really like the cable protectors, good stuff and a well documented build too

Great informational video😊 completed my install, all good. Thanks …

Great video. Looks really easy to do the install.

I love these kinds of videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Looking good there Cap,,, love to what's it made Offf 😜 looking forward to seeing you Yr firt ride Video them,,, greatings DS🇩🇪

Very nice build

Thank you

The ease of installation is a no brainer! Just having the controller installed into the motor and the simplicity of the speed sensor and the throttle control and screen is brilliant! Didn't see a lot on brake disconnects? I doubt I would use that anyway. I bought a 250W mid drive ebike (proper road legal) and even that bike does not come with brake disconnects! Start rant! Imagine the Photon installed with an Alfine 11 rear hub(or a nexus)....How clean would that look! I like having my BBSHD at 3000W but that Photon is so clean and in all honestly I am not a speed junkie who is looking for a faster ride anymore. So A donor bike say $1000.00(2nd hand?) Aussie dollars, Photon $1500.00, Nexus hub $400.00 Aussie dollars and a decent 52V battery(25/30Ah)$750.00/1000.00 Aussie dollars. Allowing say $200.00? dollars to fit the nexus into the wheel rim? Go old school and just use the existing cassette to save money it could range from say $3500.00 Aussie dollars to as much as you wanna spend! My calculation allowed for a good quality battery so you could save money buying a smaller battery or a cheaper donation bike unless you already own a good bike! I paid similar for a 250W Electric Ebike so this is really something to save for. For all the people who can do it cheaper good for you! As an Australian we tend to pay a bit more for stuff down under so I have been fairly liberal with my figures! A thousand dollars for a donor bike is for a decent frame so I am being fairly aggressive price wise! To have an Ebike which you build yourself knowing what you have and understanding how it goes together plus the knowledge gained building it the price of $3500.00 Aussie dollars is not to outrageous in my opinion! Enough of my rant! 🙄🙄 Anyway that finished bike you built looks really good in it's simple design and really a clean build! I am interested in how natural the bike feels to ride as just that....A bike which you need to pedal! I am curious how the torque sensor? handles the feel for the ride! Keep up the good work!

Would be nice to see a CYC install on a nice comfortable Dual Suspension bike. Including a 25-30 ah battery 52-72V. That would be a neat trick.

Great video thank you! Is your BB 68mm?

The cranks are definitely different, the pedal spindle threads are handed to prevent them opening

For tightening the chain ring I would stick a long screwdriver or something similar from the other side of the frame through the openings in the edge of the chain ring. Then hold that in position with it contacting the frame while you tighten the lock ring. The chain whip should work fine too, that's just what I'd do if I didn't have one.

Thanks for the extremely clear and helpful video. Question: I have had a Photon for about a month and it has been mostly a good experience, though I need to remove it now and reconfigure the spacers. What specific tool or tools do I need to remove the crank arms?

Very good video and commentary. Thank you for that. I was getting ready to buy a BBS02 but then stumbled across the Photon. It looks really good but there isn’t alot of them out there to determine what reliability will be over the long haul. In your opinion, how does the Photon compare to the BBS02 and is the torque sensing of the Photon make the BBS02 fail by comparison in feel and quality? I want the feel of torque sensing.

thanks for the info on the photon, on the road test could you test the throttle and power this can handle i already have the gen 2 with asi bac855 only run it on 58v so still not sure on the photon or just upgrade to the x6 controller, really like how compact this is and no chain also the noise from what i have seen its much less than the whining noise of the x1 pro...thanks...

Very nice install. Based on the triangle bag fittment your bike must be huge. It doesn't seem like 750 watts would be enough to just pick a middle gear & hit the throttle without using gears.Will you be pedaling and using gears (for a change)? I like to pedal so am very curious how the torque sensing works. How does the noise level compare to a Bafang? My main issue with previous CYC motors was the noise level of the 2 chain setup & was hoping this would be quieter than it seemed.

I am just now in the process of converting my mountain bike with a photon. Thanks for all these vids! super helpful! do you have the printing file for the downtube spacer available anywhere? Can't find it on discord.

Watching all your vids now. This motor looks like having standard biking cables running under the bottom crack is no issue. How does the toseven dm01 work? I hope the same having a gap for the cables, brake and gear change

Good info, and seems a nice refined product. When you were spinning the motor with your finger on the cranks, could you feel any drag ? I ask because I'd like to fit it to a bike to use with battery, and as a normal bike without battery..

I don’t have a torque wrench, so I used a small dot of loctite to keep everything in place.

Is the STL file available for those awesome little ziptie cable managers? I've love to print some of those out for my bike!

We need a video on setting up a solar system to charge our E trans goodies.

Frame builders need to design a bike to cater for electric bike cables. They could easily put a conduit on the down tube to hide the cables. They would sell heaps.

I was wondering what spacing you had between each crank arm and the chain stay on that particular crank arms side. If you're chainstays are symmetrical to the centre of your seat tube. Then what your chain line was One would hope you can get the perfect chainline and centered cranks. With the stealth I have managed to achieve a perfect chainline and the same spacing of the cranks to the centre of the seat tube

Odd question and I can't seem to find the info (while I wait on my photon to arrive). Say you run out of battery. Does the motor "freehub" allow you to pedal with minimal resistance? Does it have a regen mode while pedaling if torque assitance is minimal? Thanks! Looking forward to my project!

Great video but I am sure we could pull it together so that you could have a tripod so that we could See what you are doing instead of seeing it after you already finished doing each process.

If you use that nylon separator between motor and frame how is it mounted zip ties? Does it fit horizontal or perpendicular?

Do you have to use the speed sensor? I have full suss and i dont think it will work consistantly with the rear swing arm movement

Does the Photon torque sensor feel a lot better than the BBSHD? I never really liked the feel of the BBSHD cadence sensor.

If you don’t want to print a spacer cut one from a kitchen plastic chopping board, you get them cheap from thrift shops.

Nice video. Would it be a good idea to use locktite anywhere?

is there a choice or available different bottom bracket fitting mounts for variable reach out away from the bottom bracket to accommodate some of your more awkward frames?

Hope somebody reviews one of these in the type of places mtbers like to ride. All I've seen is install and road stuff.

It looks like one motor for all bottom bracket sizes? Say I have a 68mm could I use this on a 100mm bottom bracket in the future?

Is there any reason you couldn't mount the motor above that bottom tube and brace it against the tube the seat post goes into?

My frame has crack right where you put that blue block. 4 years of 200 N.m.t 3300 watts on the frame it cracked. My bafang motor is still kicking and i have 22000 kmh on it

im trying to get the chain ring off so i can replace the controller but i cant get that lock ring to come off. tried the chain whip, tried fixing the motor on my bike for better leverage. but i cant get it off. even managed to deform the spanning tool. im twisting counter clockwise opposite of the arrow on the lock ring

Hi buddy, it's Tom from Southampton. UK. Bought the asi from you and need a little advice. Was in rain and throttle was iffy and took it out 3 days later and it won't turn on the nxt display, sure that's the display. Would the throttle being wet effect turning it on ? . Lost my phone and no longer in discord ... any ideas would be appreciated. From Tom

What are you thoughts on using brake sensors?

Q Factor looks huge and that chainring seems a long way off the frame.

I need your help! Supplier had to send me another motor due to bad tapping for one of the M4 screws but now the replacement motor they sent doesn’t go in all the way it stops at the unthreaded part in the center. Is your BB shell threaded or press fit? Is there an unthreaded part inside of your shell? Crazy the first motor fit but this one doesn’t.

It sounds kind of loud. How would say the noise level is compared to BBSHD or BBSO2?

Hi, would you share the file for the cable zip tie protector or sell them? Received my motor today after a 10 week wait.🙂

My experience is that after around 600kms the motor came loose. So now that locking thing is at 60fp and not 37fp. 37fp felt very weak when I installed the first time anyway.

Seems like a bad design. I geuss we see if it gets lose. There should be better way to tighten that thing. Mabe gen 2. Looks good. You did a nice job.

I’ve subscribed to High Voltage and am now wondering how I can apply for the 5% discount at Golden Motor?

How do you get the 5% discount for golden motor ?

The Q factor on that looks ridiculous. Is that because you have really skinny tyres/wheels? Do you know what the max cadence is? Thanks

Where did you get those wire spacers?

What's the q factor like?

I find my Bluetooth connection is very weak. If my sitting on my bike it disconnects. I need to hold my phone down slightly, closer to the motor.

it would look much better if you didn't use blue plastic for 3D printed parts. Black would be more stealthy.

Too bad that you have to wait almost 2 months for delivery after payment.

Hi there.. Guys im struggling here.. as a Computer Dynosaur.. means i cant wrap my Head around it... i need some Help .. Is there someone in Switzerland . A bbshd eggrider understander?.. Please come and Help me... My Hardware is so ready but my electrics killing me here... John please send a Friend over lol... Im tryin to build here.. but im to stupid .. Any Swiss Person with skills reading this.. S.O.S. 😂
