the cost of making Bosch style crank drive e-bikes has come down a fair bit, I expect we'll see more 'Chinese Bosch' next year.

The box itself is miles safer than soldering a couple of ideal diodes in a heat shrink junction. I think the tech is safe but there are always shorting risks. It is best to avoid adding more wiring to your bike unless it's unavoidable.

I guess they use a pair of ideal diodes.

I think we imported the word 'pedelec' from German, as in pedelec.de. EAPCs are commonly called pedelec in German speaking countries. If I remember correctly, 50cycles used it on their website.

good point.

I use the term 'pedelec' for e-bikes that has torque sensing and no throttle, you get x times your own input power.

What stops a Japanese factory exporting NIL molds to China? If I had shares in ASML, it will be time to sell.

There is no provision for attaching brake sensors. If you convert bikes professionally, this kit is well worth considering because of its simplicity.

it is dead simple: pop the 48V battery in, make a simple change to the setting of battery voltage on the LCD from 36V to 48V. That's it.

yes. it is. The motor is a direct drive, weighing about 8kgs on its own. It may look pretty on the picture but the wiring is a nightmare, the controller is placed in a space just above the bottom bracket. You have to remove all the plastic panels to reach it. Single speed, the thread on the...

we sold one similar in 2012. That's easy. Inside the battery case, there are 3 x 12V 10ah SLA connected in series.

It's not very difficult, but you will have to be careful. Drill a 10mm hole on the underside of the bottom bracket where the cable will come out. Screw the non drive side cup in fully, push the connector through the 10 mm hole then push the bbts in. The bbts has splines which will match those...

The BBTS kits arrived this morning. We installed it on Andy's bike. We only had a small ride as you can see on the odometer. It is very quiet and the start is extremely quick and smooth. You hardly have to move the pedal about 5-10 degrees for the motor to kick in. The pedals on Andy's bike...

They are still in China. Tongsheng told me they should be ready about now, then 5 weeks at sea. I will check with the sales rep tomorrow. The torque sensor kits for hub motors arrived this morning. Andy is testing it on his bike.

a ready made e-bike won't help him much with hill start.

The key advantage of the TSDZ is its very low battery consumption when human power is already near enough to maintain the speed.

A TSDZ2B with 48V15AH would do it. Very low consumption on the flat and strong enough on hills.

You can do one of those things to put your mind at rest but you don't have to. For all the years that I've been selling hub kits, I only put torque arms on heavy motors like the Bafang BPM kits because of their high inertia and on the Gran Camino because it is meant for trail riding. Your XF08C...

The TSDZ2B is half a kilogram lighter compared to the BBS01. Also, the LCD has a row of connectors under the front glass, making for a neat installation. You don't need to plug in throttle and brake sensors until you need them. It also has a USB port on the LCD, convenient for charging your...

thank you for the heads up.
