DASHBOARD
LANDSCAPE MODE
MAIN SETTINGS
The settings page allows you to navigate through different parameters. There are seven different categories each providing adjustable settings or readings from your ebike system.
IMPORTANT: Save all new changes or risk losing progress after a restart.
To save, tap the ‘Save’ button in the upper righthand corner. The ‘Save completed.’ Message will appear after saving successfully.
CUSTOMISE DEVICE NAME
Easily identify your kit by renaming your bike. Your bike’s custom name is specific to you.
This means that if another person connects to your bike, it will not show the customized name you’ve set.
GENERAL
Temperature Unit
Set your units to display in degree Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
Restore Default Settings
Restore to factory/default settings.
MODES & LEVELS (GEN 3/4)
Race & Street Mode
You can set the throttle & PAS output independently for both modes.
Race Mode Throttle & PAS
Race Mode is your “boost” or “full power” mode and has parameters set for reaching closer to the system’s full capabilities. You can adjust these to your own preference within the capabilities of your controller and battery.
Street Mode Throttle & PAS
Street Mode is intended to be set to your region’s legal limits. You can adjust these to your own preference or to your region’s legal limits. You can adjust these to your own preference or to your region’s legal limits.
MODES & LEVELS (PHOTON)
Profile (Photon)
You can select different region’s legal limits default settings.
Mode After Restart
You can select in which mode your kit will be in when you switch it on. Select it to continue in the mode you left off or select Race or Street mode.
SELECTING POWER PRESETS
(PHOTON)
For Photon kits, you can choose between different presets based on your region. You can find this under Modes & Levels, by selecting Profile.
Then save your settings to avoid losing progress.
UNRESTRICTED MODE (PHOTON)
To access Unrestricted Mode, select Profile under Modes & Levels, then select Unrestricted.
You will need to read the disclaimer before agreeing to use this mode. Save your settings to avoid losing progress.
WARNING:
Entering UNRESTRICTED mode causes your kit to be for off-road use only and may not adhere to your region’s ebike limits for on-road/public road use. We recommend you to familiarize yourself with your region’s legal limits.
THROTTLE
Ramping Time
This is the time it takes for the motor to achieve the required input. For example, if you open the throttle fully, it will take 250ms (by default) before the motor gives you full power. It will gradually ramp up to full power within the set time. We recommend not setting this below 150ms.
Input Deadband
This value pertains to opening the throttle when it’s completely closed. This is the amount of throttle can be moved from the zero position without generating a response from the motor. If this value is set lower, your throttle will engage quicker and vice versa.
Throttle Calibration
For using your own throttle, this will automatically setup the min and max voltage accordingly. Follow the steps prompted on the screen to set up.
Min Voltage
This is the output of the throttle when opened fully and is pre-set when purchased. This does not need any change with CYC supplied throttles.
Max Voltage
This value should be the same as the Throttle Voltage Reading when the throttle is closed and sets the output when it is not active.
PEDAL ASSIST
The CYC pedal assist system allows users to customize motor assistance based on torque unit, with 0% requiring only 50 N.m. This means that at 100% assistance, when you pedal with 50 N.m. of torque, the system delivers maximum assistance according to your power mapping settings, maintaining that level until it reaches the power limit. The percentage settings correspond to a torque range, where each 1% equates to a 1 N.m. change, enabling users to adjust how much effort they need to exert to achieve desired motor support. Unlike many systems that directly link human power to motor output, our system is designed to flexibly map pedal input to motor behaviour, allowing for a tailored riding experience.
Pedal Assist Sensor
Enable or disable pedal assist.
Torque Sensor Sensitivity
This value pertains to activating pedal assist when it’s completely off. This is the amount of pedal force required to activate the pedal assist. If this value is set higher, your pedal assist will engage with less force and vice versa.
Power Ramp Up Time
The amount of time it takes to reach the desired input. This is the responsiveness of the motor.
Motor Assist Factor
This value pertains to how hard you need to pedal to get full power.
Cadence Start
This feature allows for a cadence-free pull away. i.e., only torque (40N.m.) is required to activate pedal assist.
Pedal Backwards Cutoff
This feature allows you to cut motor power when you pedal backwards.
Baseline Voltage
The baseline voltage is for Gen 2 kits only. We advise not to change this setting or risk damage to your motor kit.
Gen 2 Torque Sensor Calibration
Configure your X1 Pro Gen 2 or X1 Stealth Gen 1 kit’s torque sensor to improve performance of the X6 controller.
PERIPHERALS SETUP
Wheel Magnet
This is the number of magnets in the wheel that is communicating with the speed sensor. For more accurate vehicle speed limiting and measurement, we advise to add more magnets to the wheel.
NOTE: Please set up wheel settings via the display for accurate speed readings.
Brake Sensor
Enable/Disable brake sensors.
Invert Brake Sensor Signal
If you are using brake sensors from a different supplier, you can use this feature to set up your brake sensors as needed.
WARNING: Please contact your authorized distributor or CYC support if you’re setting up third-party peripherals.
Motor Direction
This setting is for users who’d want to switch the direction to where the motor is facing. Please note that this is reserved for specific uses only.
WARNING: Do not change this setting without consulting with CYC or authorized distributors as
it changes the motor direction from its default position.
Hall Sensor Calibration
This setting accurately assesses the position and speed of the motor’s rotor. During setup, the motor will turn slowly for calibration, please lift the back wheel while calibrating.
BATTERY
Series of Cells
The nominal voltage of your kit will be the voltage advertised or specified upon the purchase of your battery. This value refers to the numbers of cells inside your battery and is presented as the nominal voltage of your pack. Your kit is pre-set to 52V but you can change this at any time via the app or on your display.
Minimum Voltage
The value the controller will fault when connecting too low a voltage to the system. This setting can be used to protect your battery if too much voltage sag is detected.
For improved battery life use, we encourage you to refer to our recommended cut off voltages below:
| Samsung 50S cell nominal voltage | 3.6 |
