Complete motor drive installation.
The Cyclone motor turns counter-clockwise as bought from the factory (although it can be reversed by the skilled user). I used this feature to connect the motor to my left crank using a tandem timing crank and a 46t chainring. The main disadvantages of this are that I must pedal when the motor is running, and back-pedaling requires overcoming the resistance of the planetary gearbox and idle motor, which is difficult.
