CYC X1 Pro Gen4 VS. SURRON

CYC MOTOR recently published a video comparing the new X1 Pro Gen4 e-bike motor with a SURRON. The video provides an exciting comparison of these two models.

In the video, an EBX controller was used with the SURRON. However, this was configured to maintain the standard output of 6 KW and 300 phase amps, powered by a 60V battery. On the other hand, there was a test bike with a 72V 20S 4P battery, which would theoretically allow up to 8 KW of power. Nevertheless, the X1 PRO Gen 4 motor was also set to a max. output of 6 KW to ensure a fair comparison. How does it end? You can see in this video from 1:50:

At the beginning of the video, Rikus from CYC MOTOR explains some details about the bike used in the X1 Pro Gen4 promotional video (see below). A 52V 14S 2P battery was used, which can continuously deliver 60A and max. 80A. The X1 Pro Gen4 motor was set up to deliver a max. output of 4 KW is achieved. A special cassette was used to effectively transfer this power to the bike.

With most standard cassettes, there is a risk at full engine power that the largest and smallest sprockets will be bent on the one hand due to the inclination of the chain and on the other hand due to their size. Hence the tip from CYC: At high engine power, you should avoid using the largest and smallest sprockets and instead stay in the middle area of the cassette. This ensures optimum performance and maintains the longevity of the cassette.
