The V3 Cycle Analyst is an integral part of this kit system that ties together the throttle, ebrake, PAS, and torque sensor signals into a highly configurable platform that can be readily customized for a range of performance behaviors you can't get anywhere else. As a display it may look a tad clunky, but the functionality it offers is simply unparalleled and continues to increase with each new firmware release.

The kit will run with any battery pack from 24V to 52V nominal (and up to 72V with a Phaserunner).
We offer a range of batteries that will work well depending on the geometry of your bike, the range you need on a charge, and how fast you want to go.  Please see our battery info page for more details on the different pack options.  
Be sure to select a charger model that matches the voltage (36V, 48V, or 52V) and connector style (ST3 or XLR) of the chosen pack.  


The small SAW20 motors come in a fairly fast 12 rpm/V winding speed to compensate for the smaller wheel diameters in which they are typically laced. These hubs fit forks with 75mm dropouts but with a standard 10mm dropout slot. 

The M12x1.25 axle is compatible with our standard front torque arms. 


There are a number of optional electronic and mechanical accessories that can help flush out the build. This includes front and rear bike lights, phone chargers, wire management, programming cables, and what have you.

Front wheel conversion kit for Brompton folding bicycles based around a 250-500 watt Direct-Drive Crystalyte motor laced in a 16" ETRTO 349 rim. Motor axle is 75mm long with a 3/8" axle ground to 8mm on the flats, and fits in the Brompton fork with no modifications. A pair of torque arms mate with the dropout's anti-rotation hole to prevent spinout.

The compact Baserunner mounts on a custom bracket behind the fork and does not interfere with the folding. The V3 Cycle Analyst supports either a magnet ring PAS sensor or a Torque Sensing bottom bracket for automatic assist modes. For details on the PAS/Torque sensor selection, see the Advanced PAS Kit Info Page
