Thanks for the reply - much appreciated. The above is the method I use too and as you say the 'Wh' re-charge figure is going to be higher than the actual 'Wh' discharge, but by how much I can't tell as I've no calibrated instrumentation to do any comparisons with, but the method used is...

An interesting setup (cadence mode) to consider for those wanting that sort of assist which is more akin to those choosing a Bafang mid drive. Out of interest, what is your setup for measuring watt hours per mile? 6.2 Wh/mile is a really low level of power consumption - I'm guessing the all up...

That Zone 2 article was interesting and as a Torque Sesnsing mid drive rider, I'll not feel guilty about my 30 mile ride tomorrow (to my fave cafe for coffee and cake) in ECO mode - lol!

I've never looked at wrist mirrors before this post - first thoughts are: Puttint them on before ride detracts somewhat from the spontainity of just jumping on your bike for a ride not great for wrist watch wears if riding on straights (Pic A), then your hands are going to be near enough...

A couple of notes for those looking to use OSF for the first time: EDIT: an update on older versions of SDCC below > I've just got a Win11 laptop and wanted to be able to program my TSDZ2 which until now I've been doing using my Win10 laptop. > I revisted the Github page (by Embrusa - link) to...

Welcome to the forum. I see you're asked about conversion kits in another post - cross posting the same question will annoy some.

The UK supplier who gets a lot of mentions on here is Woosh bikes of Southen and PSW Power will deliver to the UK but you won't get the same level of Customer Service as given by Woosh Bikes. Now sit back to hear about the different opinions of front hub versus rear hub & mid drive.

If you look at the pic below with the RED arrow, this shows the gap between the Bafang motor body and the 'bottom bracket' axle - this dimension will be the limiting factor and it is very unlikely to be enough to allow fitting into an eccentric bottom bracket (EBB, 2nd pic). The TSDZ2's...

Yes, diy mechanics is the way to go. I was about 12yrs old when my grandad showed me how to change the cotter pins on my first real bike and the journey for doing my own mechanics began and I have never needed to use a bike shop for repairs since, so go for it.

Hi Neal, I've seen discussions on this forum about when a throttle can and cannot be used but not having a throttle myself, I've not really taken more than a passing interest in the subject but having seen this post and in a recent discussion about throttles with my local club mates, I'm now...

Have you checked to see if the free hub is the problem (that's the item that has the rear wheel sprockets attached). See what I said in post no5 about testing.

Is this a new installation or one that has been in use for a while? If the latter, did the noise start right from first use or sometime later?

I like the TDSZ2 because the torque sensing ride feel is what I wanted, it's a simple as that (along with the mid mounting position which I prefer to a hub). The motor is made to a low price point and I suspect designed for a 'use case' more akin to urban riding that carrying some 120Kg giant...

Unless you are an experience mechanic of some sort used to tightening things, I very much doubt that without a torque wrench you'll be able to 'guess' the 40nm torque required for the crank bolts. I've cycled in excess of 6,000 miles on my main TSDZ2 bike and after some intial loosening of my...

What is the current limit of the controller? Maybe anything over 12amp might be too much for your particular configuration?
