Has anyone actually made the mod from 1 to 3 speed? Does the conversion work well?

You can order the fylcrum lever from Amazon. You will also need a barrel adjuster to screw into fulcrum lever. These two parts were not included in the kit I recieved,but it seems they should be included. Also if you use your original chain it will need to be shortened. The directions with the kit were not correct as concerned with the number of links you will need.Make sure you throw the chain over the sprokets after installation of sprockets and measure them yourself. I needed about 10 or 12 more links than the instructions indicated.

I made the conversion on my wifes tricycle. The conversion works very well. Make sure you also order the correct fulcrum lever and a shift cable cup that screws into the fulcrum lever. These two items did not come in the kit. LC

The Sun hub kit was a joy to install. I made a fulcrum lever out of sheet metal and had a spare cable cup and screw.

You can order the Sturmey Archer fulcrum lever and the cable adjuster for the fulcrum lever from Amazon. Type those parts into the Amazon search box and you can see what they look like and order the parts if desired.

Wondering the same question, did you ever find any info? ;) I just ordered one, should have it in 2 days. I'm assuming its really just 3 channels: looks like throttle, forward-reverse, TURN left-right (no L/R side banking), with the l-r turn on right stick (normally on left throttle stick). Did read some info that stated it could easily be turned into true 4ch with addtl servo added.

Mine that I just got today definitely has a gradual start. I can get it to run as low as ~5rpm pretty easily.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. Its very low in 3 wheeled model... and make it up only in 2 wheel mode

Yes. Changing the mode will allow for a "pulsating" mode and turning the knob will alter the speed.

the single speed is quite easy to pedal on flat land, however small hills are quite a challenge. I have not tried the 3 speed so I can't say how that performs on hills.

That's exactly what I used this kit for. No issues at all. We really enjoy the conversion.

It seems quite slow. I am puzzled when they describe it as having 5 speeds because it seems to have just 3. The upside is that it does an incredible job at any of the speeds.

no problem from getgo all 3 speeds w/ the one I got a couple yrs ago. If u r mechanically inclined check all connections. My speed control switch on low has been finicky a yr ago - no problem since. The medium & high positions really move air. Other choice is return f/ swap. Sorry to hear of this bummer & frustration.

Yes with about 1-2 min of modding (I did 2 with a pocket knife) it's a great upgrade

You can definitely feel the shifts are quicker and firmer. The biggest difference by far is the extra 100 HP and torque. It absolutely is the best mod I did for my 02 F350. Gas mileage went up about 5% too. Not much but when it turns your truck from docile behemoth to a sports truck AND gives better mileage it is a win win.

Quite certain the answer is Yes. 7 speed twist with a 7 speed derailleur. Etc, Etc.

No. The motor and esc are both rated up to 3s, but not running together, I have tried it but it got hot Very Fast. You would need the Mamba Max Pro or Hobbywing wpsc8, etc. for a reliable 3s esc with 5700kv. I have this Castle combo in my Bandit, and 2s is plenty...my advice? Gear up and you will already be in the 50mph range 2s...I run 24/90 gears and it's stupid fast. Speed run, 26/76, it has to be 55mph with that gearing.

Hello the speed increments are 0.1. If you would like to know anything else please ask.

Couldn't tell you. This isn't a racing engine so I didn't mod it. It works great for my son to tool around on in his go kart. Its quick and fun but I left it stock.

Yes, Nova offers a variable speed motor upgrade. I have made the change and it works well.
