Cyclone Motor kit - Only mount system
Patent Pending, Stainless steel construction.
This is a bolt on (zero welding needed) system to attach a cyclone motor to pedicabs that use a 2 bolt axle bearing plates and have the rear brake mounted behind the rear axle. (All Classics and most San Diego pedicabs). MOTOR NOT INCLUDED.
This is for the mount only.
This system improves on the existing method of welding a motor cross bar to the pedicab frame below the motor and pedal chain. By moving the cross bar higher to be directly inline between the motor and axle, the force from the motor chain pulls the motor directly toward the crossbar instead of trying to rotate the motor around a low mounted cross bar. This makes the motor far more stable, preventing chain loosening and derailing. Further, because all the parts are precision laser cut and bolted directly to the axle mounts, the motor crossbar will always be precisely located parallel to the axle. Crossbars welded crooked and or too close to the axle are a common cause of cyclone motor chain derailment.
This mount solves several problems plaguing cyclone motor systems. It is designed to be easier, faster, and less expensive to install than having a crossbar welded in place, more stable than having a low mount crossbar, and more precise in the placement of the crossbar. All of this leads to a far more reliable system that drops or snaps the chain far less frequently.
The complete kit here includes a mounting plate set, crossbar, crossbar support clamp, 38 tooth sprocket and spacers, longer grade 8 bolts, turnbuckle to position motor / adjust chain tension, spring loaded chain tensioner and heavy duty chain.
The motor is not included.
Please specify your battery voltage so that we can match a sprocket to your system to get the highest operating efficiency and safe operating speeds.

Professional installation recommended as removal of rear axle is required to install motor sprocket. Battery not included. Battery with 40 amp or greater BMS recommended.
