    Tsdz2 way too many problems.

    The first problem that strikes me is "Ph screws". Spawn of the devil. PZ screws are a bit more resistant to stripping the head, but best solution would be to replace with hex socket/Allen head, maybe stainless, when the motor is new. Hmm, worth putting a request into the to7 thread.

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    Yes, followed from the start. You have been asked questions that haven't been answered. While there may be some trolling, I don't consider posting screenshots of your ali express sales etc to be such. Some of the "trolling" is caused by frustration at the lack of straight answers. 36t cog comes...

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    As a bystander, no skin in the game, just interested, I see relevant questions being asked by someone who we consider knowledgeable and trustworthy, not answered clearly by "reps" from a new manufacturer, who then get arsey, calls it trolling when the unanswered questions are pursued...

    A big sign in Braille needed for this scooter rider. Beware Gate! https://www.facebook.com/636878516/posts/pfbid02pe8wV3iCeTAkUK3Q1MgaCtYk4sa6FdeggRejW5JogZkeigxH7kKZWLw3YjnfVyHZl/

    Upgrade advice

    Sell the wheel and gubbins, replace front wheel, fit a bafang bbs01b mid drive. I fitted a 42t chainring cos it's hilly round me. You benefit from better traction too, driving the rear wheel.

    A cure for rusty old tools

    This may prove useful for some old members, advice from (purportedly) the original WD40 ad from 1964.

    Help! Centerdrive motor making wierd sounds?

    Don't pedal it backwards. Why do that anyway?

    Is this a technical breach of the law? Uncertain

    There are two Pegasus Crossings near me, where the Pennine Bridleway crosses a main road. Being a bridleway bikes are allowed. I hope!

    Which electric cargo trike? Which are most reliable?

    The mid drive let's you use the range of gears, though with only 1 chainring at the front. I put a 42t on instead of the 46t supplied with the bbs01b. I think a 36t is available, you'd get up a house end with that. I pull a trailer full of shopping or a couple of sacks of Hen food at times as...

    Legal Pitfalls

    Rules don't say it MUST be fitted by a professional, only a recommendation. The illustration in your post only says that EN marked stoves are better, again no MUST. You are also presuming it's a home made stove, it's not. https://dowlingstoves.com/our%20stoves/little%20devil.html While the stove...

    suitable wing mirrors

    Zefal Dooback mirrors on my bike, with swept back bars too. They don't have a long stalk, the mirrors rotate on a ratchet, so fold easily if banged or dropped.

    Changing from hub motor to mid drive

    The 250w rating isn't a fixed limit, afaik a "250w" rated motor can be pushing 500w at times. There was also a comment that you'd need to carry a laptop to tweak your motor to 350w while out and about in the grounds of your mansion, no, the Android Speeed App works great, using the same cable. I...
