Super Powered 20 Kw Electric Motorcycle: An E-Bike like none other with a 20kw Brushless Hub Motor

Back in the heyday of Endless Sphere, Cyclone Motors from Taiwan was one of the only sites where electric motorbike and e-bike lovers like us could go for mid-motors for do-it-yourself conversions or projects.

Even though the Cyclone Motors website was created in the 1990s, it still has enough information for a beginner to locate what they need. There are many power mid-motors and mounting components to pick from, but there are no flashy graphics here; just raw data. Currently, there are numerous options available on the global market to purchase high-quality hub motors, mid motors, and other components for electric bicycles and motorcycles. Cycle Motors Taiwan has posted some fresh content to its website, so it appears that they are aware of this.

Nikita 20KW Hub Motor or Mid Drive Electric motorcycle

If you’re an electric motorcycle or e-bike enthusiast like ourselves, you might be looking to find high-power and durable equipment to equip your ride. The Nikita 20KW Motor is a powerful brushless DC electric motor that can generate a peak power of up to 20 kW. The motor comes with a controller that can drive the motor with a 72v battery pack.

It is a highly durable and high-performance item that will be widely used by electric motorcycles and e-bike lovers. Motorcycle and e-bike enthusiasts like ourselves were looking for a motor that could fully utilize the potential of our bikes. And Nikita did not disappoint. 

It comes with a custom rotor and is perfect for places where electric motorcycle riders like to explore. This motor is a perfect fit for riders who are looking for high power and excellent performance. The motor comes with a bunch of features that make it stand out from other BLDC motors in the market. The motor is easy to control and repair, making it a popular choice for DIY projects. The motor’s performance is outstanding. It can function for an extended period.

For a DIY electric motorcycle project, the Nikita electric motorcycle is a fantastic place to start. It needs a lot of styling and detailing to make it seem decent, so we wouldn’t say it is finished. We are reminded of a Kalk electric dirt bike by the minimalist, raw aesthetic. The Super Soco TS front headlamp, DNM front fork suspension, and electric hub motor in the rear wheel are all features of the 20 Kw e-motorcycle ( same hub motor size as QS 276 Hub motor used in Evoke Motorcycles).

Both the 120v and 50 Ah (33 kg = 6 Kw/h) and the 60 V and 100 Ah (33 kg = 6 Kw/h) big-ass NCM batteries are available. Images depict a 20 Kw Nikita motor based on a Hub motor. We were unable to locate the CY6K MID mid-motor, which is the alternative Nikita choice, on the Cyclone website.

The front frame portion is a bespoke creation made by Cyclone Motors, while the rear swing arm is stock from a pre-existing motorbike. That appears to be a comfortable seat.

This engine is, in our opinion, a very good underrated alternative by the electric car community hungry for speed and power when combined with the Stealth Knockoff ENDURO frame kit. You receive the mid-motor and lighter-weight pedals for the back wheel. It is also a great option for enduro enthusiasts looking for high-performance equipment. The technology and expertise behind the motor and controller are second to none, and the manufacturer is committed to producing high-quality and reliable electric motorbike products.
