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).
Speed Unit
Set the speed unit to miles or kilometres.
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.
Restore Default Settings Restore to factory/default settings.

MODES & LEVELS (GEN 3)

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)

Motor Type (X1 Stealth & Pro)
You can select the CYC motor kit you have.
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.
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.
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.

PEDAL ASSIST

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 Diameter
The wheel diameter can be measured or be calculated. We advise that this number must be calibrated so that vehicle speed within the app matches display speed.
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.

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.
Thermal Protection (Password)
This is an advanced feature and requires a password from CYC to change. This allows you to disable your motor temperature sensor. Contact us for more details and password for this feature.

BATTERY

Battery Type / Series of Cells
10s = 36V, 14s=52V, 20s=72V
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.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

To update firmware, go to Firmware Update and press Update for the app to automatically download the latest version of the kit controller.
To select a specific firmware version, press Choose File and update accordingly.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Please note that the Maximum Power Level MUST be changed in the CYC Ride Control App to match your battery’s specifications. Follow the guidelines below:

*Failure to set power settings correctly through the CYC Ride Control app may cause damage to the battery and/or motor.
