Brilliant writeup, Isla. Thanks! Will be following in your footsteps as soon as my extra cable arrives

Fair enough, thank you. And yes, aware that the name refers to the enclosure rather than the contents or how they're wired. All I know about ours is that it came from PSW Power with LG cells specified as INR18650 MJ1 3500mAh. I'm not overly attached to the concept of using the 6V supply for...

Apologies, had no idea this was such a big deal. It's listed on my invoice and on the PSW Power site as 'Hairon'. Edited the post so hopefully that'll calm your nerves. Any other thoughts?

Posted in response to another thread but thought it might get more engagement as a stand-alone, so... I'd like to run 48V lights from a Hailong 48V 17.5Ah pack, switched by a 6V relay controlled by the TSDZ2's 6V lighting circuit. This has been discussed elsewhere but never to the extent of...

That's fair enough, and I won't argue about quality as I've found some elements to be pretty mickey mouse too, the cranks being a good example, along with some play at the spindle but that disappears on ours when actually pedalling. Thankfully not had any electrical issues, yet. Have you tried...

Been quite impressed with ours, and as a keen cyclist it's a much better ride experience than the Bafang alternative. We're coming up for 500 miles and it's doing well pushing a heavy long-tail cargo bike around and over some decent sized hills. From reading around it seems most performance...

I'd like to try doing this on my 48V 750W TSDZ2 with a 48V 17.5Ah Hairon pack. I'll confess that I'm in no way experienced with electronics though. I can wire a plug, drive a soldering iron and even use a multimeter without blowing myself across the room, but probably know just enough to get...

leftfieldbikes.com in London do some Grin items so worth dropping them a line. Not always the speediest response though so you may need to chase a bit. Alternatively, ebike-solutions.com in Germany also stock Grin items, including items not shown on their webstore so also worth a try. Again...

Absorbs radar too if distributed properly. Perfect if you're running on the naughty side the pedelec regs, so I'm told

Thanks for that. Solid-state relay? Maybe I should sketch out a proposed circuit diagram and invite people to critique it... or possibly tear it apart?

Thanks, the lock nut was tightened with a mallet. Cable ties would need changing after 2-3 months but I'm planning to swap in a stainless hose clamp as soon as I can get one long enough..

Brilliant way to spend an evening. And the light was amazing late yesterday afternoon/early evening with that whole summer-into-autumn soft focus thing going on. And you're spot on - hills suddenly become way more interesting when your electric stoker does the hard work :D. I got out for a...

Finally got our Ute replacement running. Loved the Ute but it wasn't quite up to what we needed so swapped all the bits we upgraded (TSDZ2, wheels etc.) onto a new Yuba Mundo Lux/V5 framset. Biggest challenge was mounting the Hairon battery as the factory bottle-bosses were low on the downtube...

Big Apples are great aren't they. Pretty much started the trend for oversized road tyres. Have to say the Super Moto X 2.4s are also pretty good. I remember riding an older Mundo too and it must have been a while ago as it was definitely the older tube layout, and agriculturally heavy! Don't...

Doesn't fit I'm afraid. The frames have changed quite a bit between successive generations and the the latest (V5) has tighter angles and thicker stays (and better steel, so that's nice). Doesn't fit on the chainstay-wishbone either as it's not quite long enough. The other challenge is that I...

Thanks for all the suggestions and sorry for not responding sooner. Took a while to source the frame, which we now have. The challenge now is that the tubes are MASSIVELY ovalised (and tapered), more so than anything I've ever seen. They're twice as wide as they are tall which presents obvious...

It was the larger 28/29” version. There’s a bit more clearance in reality as the lawn (weed patch) in the photo is quite uneven; front wheel clears around 1-1.5” on flat ground. 26 x 2.4” on wide rims is definitely the sweet spot. While it rolls really nicely on 700s the slightly smaller wheel...

Had a similar situation to you in that the display showed full battery for a suspiciously long time time before dropping any bars. Then the powerpack leds finally went down by one and and things started tracking. I put it down to me supplying too many watts myself. Have committed to being lazier...

As above. Does anyone know of any UK or EU stockists of TSDZ2 speed-sensor extension cables (and other spares)? Search results only show Chinese sellers with shipping estimated at around one month or more. Just realised my new frameset is going to need a longer cable and would prefer to not...

Decent suggestion, thanks. I did consider u-bolts of some sort but not knowing the wall thickness on these tubes I'm reluctant to use them for fear of crushing, which is easily done. The back of the seat tube isn't easily accessible as the angle where the top-bars of the rack meet the seatstay...
