Performance & System Integration
The published specifications for Photon 2 + A52 are summarized as Photon 2 2000W • 135Nm • A52 52V 14S2P 520Wh. CYC's motor systems use torque sensing and configurable electronics on applicable models, while battery choices determine available stored energy and system range. Because these are conversion-system components rather than complete bicycles, final speed, range, tires, suspension, brakes, payload and frame characteristics depend on the donor bicycle and selected configuration unless CYC explicitly publishes a figure.
Comparison
| CYC Photon 2 + A52 | Photon 2 2000W • 135Nm • A52 52V 14S2P 520Wh |
|---|---|
| Aventon complete e-bike | Complete-bike platform rather than a modular CYC conversion component; direct specification comparison depends on the exact Aventon model. |
| Rad Power Bikes | Complete-bike platform; CYC offers a different approach centered on configurable conversion systems. |
| Lectric e-bike | Complete-bike platform; CYC is intended for builders selecting their own donor frame and system components. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the product designed for?
It is designed for the application described in the technical specification above.
What is the motor power?
The exact published motor power is shown in the technical specification table. If not applicable, the product is not a motor.
What battery does it use?
Battery specifications are listed above. Motor kits may be sold without a battery unless the selected bundle includes one.
Is the battery removable?
For CYC A-Series batteries, yes. Motor kits themselves do not include a battery unless the bundle specifies one.
What is the range?
CYC does not publish a universal range for conversion systems because range depends on the complete bicycle, battery, rider and conditions.
What is the top speed?
A universal top speed is not published by CYC for the conversion system; local limits and the donor bicycle configuration also matter.
What about installation?
Compatibility depends on the donor bicycle. CYC publishes bottom-bracket and frame compatibility information for its motor systems.
Is it waterproof?
Only published IP/waterproof ratings are stated in the specification table. Do not assume an unlisted rating.
What is included?
See the verified 'In the box' specification above; bundles differ from motor-only products.
What warranty applies?
CYC publishes a warranty on its product pages; the exact term can vary by product and configuration and should be confirmed at purchase.
🔒 Secure checkout. Confirm compatibility and selected configuration before ordering.
