Brake Disc Measurements#
| Part | Measurements |
|---|
| Rear Disc | 220 mm × 3 mm, PCD: 6×44 mm, CB: 32 mm |
A 220 mm brake disc is 220 mm across and 3 mm thick. A PCD of 6×44 mm means it uses six bolts arranged on a 44 mm circle and must match your hub. A 32 mm center bore is the size of the hole in the middle that centers the disc on the hub.

Temperatures#
This section lists the safe operating temperature ranges for the main 80V components, including the battery, controller, and motor.
Fahrenheit#
| Component | Good | Okay | High |
|---|
| Motor | 120°F | 150°F | 248°F |
| Controller | 110°F | 130°F | 176°F |
| Battery | 90°F | 100°F | 130°F |
Celsius#
| Component | Good | Okay | High |
|---|
| Motor | 48°C | 65°C | 120°C |
| Controller | 43°C | 54°C | 80°C |
| Battery | 32°C | 37°C | 54°C |
Motor Temperature#
ONYX hub motors use NdFeB neodymium magnets.
Key thresholds:
- 120°C / 248°F -> ideal sustained ceiling
- 150°C / 302°F -> caution zone
- 180°C+ / 356°F -> insulation + magnet damage risk
- 200°C+ / 392°F -> permanent demagnetization likely
Magnet Loss Reference#
| Condition | °C | °F |
|---|
| Cutoff | 170 | 338 |
| Caution | 150 | 302 |
| High | 120 | 248 |
| Okay | 90 | 194 |
| Good | 60 | 140 |
Battery Temperature#
Best practice:
- Charge and store between 50°F-86°F (10°C-30°C)
Cold reduces range. Heat accelerates aging.
| Condition | °C | °F |
|---|
| Cutoff | 60 | 140 |
| High | 54 | 130 |
| Okay | 43 | 110 |
| Good | 25 | 77 |
| Minimum | 0 | 32 |
Do not store below 32°F for more than a few hours.
Controller Temperature#
Controller heat is easiest to manage with airflow.
| Condition | °C | °F |
|---|
| Cutoff | 100 | 212 |
| High | 80 | 176 |
| Okay | 70 | 158 |
| Good | 50 | 122 |
Final Advice#
Run smart with your voltage.
Stay within safe temperature ranges.
Keep an eye on motor temps when pushing higher current.
Only charge batteries when they’re cool.
And don’t forget:
Water-resistant doesn’t mean waterproof.
A cool ONYX is a quick ONYX, and one that lasts. ⚡
