Help please, just brought a cyclone electric kit (came without instruction and missing connectors – not mentioned at time of advertised). I'm trying to work out the cable connections to the controller). Not being an electrically minded, I need help, especially on cables coming out of the electric motors. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I think you need those missing instructions Timba. The motor wire colours and letters don't match the controller diagram so additional information is needed.

If no-one else with a Cyclone can help, best to email Paul (Ping-Yueh Lin) at Cyclone for the missing instructions or other help:

Thx for the reply flecc, sorry for the confusion made, the letters were purely for identification, for example C to M; B to N?

Got it, you added the letters. No wonder I was baffled!

Still leaves some queries, but here's the bulk of it:

M and N on the motor go to C and B on the controller. Match the colours of course. The other 3 motor leads (P, Q and R) are optional motor sensor ones, so leave unconnected for the time being.

Green and Red on the controller go the throttle, it seems red to red and green to white, with the black on the throttle going to earth, but they've left a query on that black as you'll see on the diagram note. You don't seem to have a wire to connect that black one to, but it must eventually connect to the controller point marked "battery earth".

Black, Orange and Grey on the controller are optional motor feedback sensor connections, so leave off for the time being. They would go to P, Q and R on the motor, but the colour codes don't match so you'll need clarification from Cyclone if you wanted to connect those.

The remaining White wire on the controller is an optional brake sensor if you have brake levers incorporating appropriate switches.

I can't tell you where the Blue wire A on the controller goes to. It's obviously live with the battery positive, but there are no connections shown for it. Therefore you'll again need clarification from Cyclone of it's purpose.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but there just isn't enough information there to be conclusive on the two query points. These colour code mismatches are sadly all too common in Chinese production.

One final thing. Can you confirm that the wire shown as N on the motor is in fact black, and not a dark blue?

Hi Flecc, N & P are both black, i think yor're right, without knowing details for P, Q & R (hopefully this also provides answer to cable A) it's almost impossible to be sure about its connection - i may end up opening the case and a borrowing text book from lib. Thx again.
