Question 2

A2. Will the CYC kits fit my bike frame?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases, but it’s important to always check your bottom bracket type and chainring clearance.

• Bottom bracket: Confirm your bike’s BB type and width to ensure it matches the kit options.
 • Chainring clearance: Check that your frame has enough space for the chainring size you choose, especially around the chainstay area.
 • Frame space: Ensure there is room to mount both the motor and battery, typically under the downtube or inside the triangle.
 • Use our 1:1 printouts (https://www.cycmotor.com/cycdownloads)to confirm fit before ordering.

How do I check my bottom bracket type?
 
To check your bottom bracket type, you’ll need to measure three things:
1. The bottom bracket shell width of your frame
2. The inner diameter of the shell
3. The bottom bracket currently installed in your frame (if any)

If your frame does not have a crankset or bottom bracket installed, simply measure the shell width and inner diameter directly.

Use the reference images below to measure these dimensions accurately. Keep in mind that most bottom brackets are standard sizes, so approximate measurements are usually sufficient unless you have an unusual, older, or eccentric frame.

When measuring, focus only on the frame itself. Do not include any bottom bracket components such as cups or bearings in your measurements. You do not need to remove any parts from your bike unless you’re unsure about what you’re measuring.

Once you have your measurements, refer to the charts above to identify which option you need. If you want to double-check, you can also remove your current bottom bracket, look for any markings or model numbers, and check if it has threads. This can give you extra confidence in selecting the correct setup for your bike.

Question 5

A6. Which chainring should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose based on ground clearance and chainstay clearance. Chainring size affects cadence, not motor torque or speed.

X1 Pro Gen 4 chainring options:
 • 32T (11/53T motor sprocket)
 • 38T (11/63T motor sprocket)
 • 40T (11/72 motor sprocket)

X1 Stealth Gen 3 chainring options:
 • 32T (11/53T motor sprocket)
 • 38T (11/63T motor sprocket)

Photon Gen 2 chainring options:
 • 36T
 • 38T
 • 40T
 • 42T
 • 50T

X1 Pro & X1 Stealth kits use 104mm BCD inner chainrings, allowing swaps with standard chainrings or belt pulleys like Gates or Veer belt system.

Question 6

A9. What is the top speed with CYC kits?

Accepted Answer

Top speed depends on your setup, gearing, battery, and conditions.
 • X1 Pro: Up to 100kph+ (62mph) recorded
 • X1 Stealth: Lower top speed, prioritising pedal assist over raw speed
 • Photon Gen 2: Limited by firmware (250W or 750W) and local regulations

For an estimated top speed, please provide us:
1. Wheel diameter (mm)
2. Battery voltage
3. Motor model
4. Chainring size
5. Smallest rear cog size

Actual speed varies with bike weight, terrain, and weather.

Question 7

A10. What type of inner chainrings do the X1 Pro & X1 Stealth use?

Accepted Answer

X1 Pro & X1 Stealth kits use 104mm BCD inner chainrings, allowing swaps with standard chainrings or belt pulleys like Gates or Veer belt system.
