    Tongsheng TSDZ3H Anyone tried?

    Yes agreed, and I understand that, I was just wondering if the TDSZ2 & TDSZ3H shared the same mechanical & firmware structures, aside from the form factor. For example did the OEM TDSZ3H use the same "Blue gear" or did it have some improved version to satisfy the OEM customers more demanding...

    Tongsheng TSDZ3H Anyone tried?

    Adding front & rear lights to E-bike
