CYC PHOTON 750W Mid-Drive Conversion Kit

Great company, great service, Doing a mid drive conversion was a new experience for me, so, I had quite a few questions. Golden Motors always got back to me quickly with answers. Thank you. I would recommend them to anyone needing parts, or doing a conversion.

Always amazing to work with! They have what you need and know how to lean you in the right direction. I told them what I was building and what my concerns were. They helped me pick out the CYC 750 for my custom build.
Thank you again!

The CYC Photon motor exceeded my expectations! Since I am middle age but still in good shape, the extra power makes me able to ride to work each day and back in a TIMELY manner. The torque sensing and all the settings makes it where I am able to get a very good workout even with the motor!
The motor is pretty quiet, and I do not even notice it running.

I would recommend this motor to anyone that needs a little extra power for there commutes.

Plus, I can’t wait to take it on the trails here soon too!

Installed the Photon on my 2014 Rocky Mountain Vapor (27.5″) mountain bike. The chainline worked out great- I had to experiment a bit with the spacers to get the bottom bracket just right. Using the 38T chainring, with the stock 11-34T (9-speed) cassette. This combo seems pretty ideal for my riding (mix of road and trail). Have put on ~700km so far. It is working great for my uses.
I wanted the torque sensor control so that the ride is pretty natural feeling, but boosted, especially on the uphills. So far I am using the stock settings, and mostly on Level 1 on the trails, except for steeper hills where I use Level 2. It has let me do longer rides that I had stopped doing in the last decade. I paired it with a 48V/13Ah battery pack, which has more than enough lifetime for my riding. Using the magnetic brake sensors with the hydraulic brakes- a bit fiddly to get reliable (needed to use VHB tape and Gorilla tape on the sensors to hold them close to the magnets).
Overall very pleased, as it has accomplished pretty much exactly what i was looking for and made a very capable e-mountain bike.

I love this little motor! My friend installed it on my GT Street Performer 8 spd with the 42T ring and a 52V 28.8 ah battery. Its kicks ass. I do feel like I need the 50T ring now, though. More speed please? I'm doing my next build on a MTB and I'm doing this one myself. The bigger badder battery is the way to go. It is a little heavy, but I ride with full Throttle for close to 70 Miles. If I pedal it i get more distance. This motor runs more efficiently than the Bafang. My friends all have Bafang and their batteries always die before mine doing the same speeds.
