The CYC Photon Gen 2 is a 750W mid-drive conversion kit that turns a regular bicycle into a pedal-assist e-bike. It mounts at the bottom bracket and drives through the bike's own gears, so it climbs and accelerates better than hub-motor kits of similar power. The Gen 2 adds better heat management, updated electronics and easier servicing over the first Photon. It suits riders who already own a bike they like and want strong torque with a natural pedal feel, and it is more flexible than a prebuilt e-bike but demands more installation work.

The CYC Photon Gen 2 is a mid-drive motor conversion kit that turns a bicycle into an e-bike. It provides pedal assist and is built for both urban commuting and off-road riding.
This generation has improved thermal management, updated electronics and easier serviceability. The motor has a lightweight, compact design.
The kit includes what is needed to convert a bike except the battery. It fits several bottom bracket standards, and the Q factor, chainline and spacer settings differ by bottom bracket version.
