To save, tap the ʻSaveʼ button in the upper righthand corner. ʻSave completed.ʼ message
will appear upon completion.

Customise Device Name

Easily identify your kit by renaming your
bike. Your bikeʼs custom name is specific to
you. This means that if another person
connects to your bike, it will not show the
customized name youʼve set.

MODES & LEVELS

GEN 3

Race & Street Mode

You can set the throttle and 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 systemʼs 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 regionʼs legal limits. You can
adjust these to your own preference
or to your regionʼs legal limits.

Motor Type (X1 Stealth & Pro)

You can select the CYC motor kit you have.

Profile (Photon)
You can select different regionʼs legal limits
default settings.

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 regionʼs ebike limits for on-road/public road use. We recommend
you to familiarize yourself with your regionʼs 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 itʼs 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
itʼs 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
kitʼs 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 youʼre 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

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.
