It was a regular Camino, and you suggested it may not have enough grunt unless I misunderstood? I still considered it with the option of swapping the motor and / or controller. As to reply from @saneagle, what I want is something that will provide assistance up to 15.5mph regardless of...

You have current stock, and can confirm it can be configured as current controlled? You may have a sale as fed up with looking about. Any concerns about uk rain? Will store indoors, but must be ok to use in the rain…

Still very undecided about my ‘spare’ bicycle. I think I’ll use my existing and now repaired Tsdz2 on a folder. Ideally then I would want a 48v hub powered regular bike I think. There really appear to be very little option in the pre-built category. There are a couple of cheap Chinese options on...

I suspect that the driver was somewhat unaware of how dangerous their manoeuvre was - but that's still not an excuse for such irresponsible driving. The whole leaving 1.5 m when passing a cyclist is very difficult where I live and I usually wave a driver to overtake when I'm comfortable that the...

Having fixed my bike yesterday I was cycling up a steep single track road - 16%, and was making steady progress. Someone I sort of know (suspect they didn't recognise me) decided it was appropriate to barge past in their pickup, passing not more than 12 inches away. Sure, they were not going...

I don't think it overheated as such, but the motor obviously gets warm and then cools and the hall sensors and PCB heats and cools because it's internal to the motor. Heating and cooling = expansion and contraction. Add any moisture and that really is asking for poor reliability. Really the...

My conclusion is that water ingress definitely didn't help. I've also read a few posts where hall switches have died after a climb. Moisture and heat isn't a good combination. After some water ingress protection, after last time I had it apart, it did look dry inside this time, but the motor...

Received replacement bare motor and fitted. I think it's all working but need to go for an actual ride. Run for 5 or 10 mins on walk assist and it's fine. Btw, should have enabled walk assist from the get go as a much easier way to adjust indexing on rear derailleur... Edit: done a brisk loop...

The rims on my non-electric folder are wearing badly and hardly use it. On my electric mtb conversion I think the rims also won’t last too long. A lot really depends on the hills and speed one can safely descend said hills. I’m down to 10mph on very steep hills because single track, bends, high...

I’m not sure how a more powerful motor solves my current problem of water ingress, crapped out hall switch, inability of current bike to bend in the middle, and annoying v-brakes. My current motor is powerful enough when it is working. I feel that I’m chancing my luck every time it starts...

If nothing else, I get through a small fortune in brake pads and need to adjust for wear every few outings. My hill is steep, single track, covered in loose gravel, high hedges and sharp bends. It’s the sort of hill you descend at 10mph in case you meet an idiot in a car coming up that refuses...

I don’t need a more powerful motor, I need a more reliable motor and it needs to fit a folder with disc brakes. I was climbing at 6mph at the slowest and that’s about 85rpm and towards the top of the TSDZ2 cadence assist range. 26 inch wheels, 34t chainring, 32t rear cog. I will not contemplate...

I hear you, but struggling to find a suitable folder with disc brakes. I am coming to terms with the idea of a hub motor. Buying pre-build wasn’t my 1st choice…I don’t need a massive battery as will still have the TSDZ2 mountain bike crapcycle for long rides - these are always pleasure /...

It’s currently in pieces in my conservatory…waiting for a new bare motor as looks like a hall sensor failure, so yes. Have also had to replace a bearing on speed reduction shaft due to water ingress. It gets me up the hill fine, usually in tour on stock firmware. It does have dual chainrings...

Hi, after an extensive thread of musings, I am leaning towards a Wisper 806. Want to get people’s experience…so more focussed thread. I’ll be keeping my crappy old mountain bike with a TSDZ2 for longer rides and when I want some exercise. I like the TSDZ2 ride but not the reliability. The 806...

I am coming to the same conclusion, reading reviews this will easily manage 16% hills and ticks all the boxes. Well made, good uk support. Not sure I understood the bit about keeping upright when folded - does this just relate to long term storage or putting in boot of car?

I’m sure it’s just me being a wimp, but I would be very wary of some hookey front wheel after market disc adapter. I’m not handsome but a faceplant isn’t going make me any more so…

The reason for the folder is that it folds. I do a mixture of rides, the more utilitarian ones are to medical appointments, yoga classes, walk n beer with mates. All of these are ~12 mile round trip with a big hill on the way back. A folder would be convenient as easier to stash the bike...

I'm back on the folder hunt again after the death of my TSDZ2 - that should get fixed next week I hope but I need another bike as a spare anyway. A hub motor probably does make more sense and the correct motor in a 20 inch wheel will still provide a lot of hill climbing potential. I like the...

New motor on the way, Andy @Woosh came good and found a spare. I think I am going to have to get another bike going. If I’m going to need a spare motor, might as well have a whole spare bike. Still working on my folder idea. The wires are not broken but the board looks a mess and there is no...
