Thats actually my review (haven't been on the forum much since the start of the year). It ran faultlessly to be fair for 2 1/2 years over two different bike fittings. It will go onto my partners bike at some point. I have been trying to get a TSDz2 working of late because I like to run soft...

The 'bad' situation is a problem with the torque sensor. If the tension in the springs that hold the sensor in place aren't quite strong enough, the sensor can rub as the pedals go around. Over time this can cause the sensor to spin and pull the wires out of the controller. It happened to me...

Blue gear faults are normally lack of drive. Clutch faults are normally a slipping feel when heavy effort is put through the pedals Probably not directly either of them. There are a number of other sets of bearings in the system though. There should be some on the non drive side underneath the...

The problem is that the bearings for the crank are set fairly central in the motor. You can take the rubber bung out from the non drive side and shim the bearings out a little (there is nominally a single crush washer on this side to remove the play so you can remove the circlip, add a 0.1mm or...

Looks a nice conversion. By sprocket bearing, do you mean the bottom bracket and the pedals can move a little? If so then some play is normal unfortunately

Legal speed limit is pretty high in most places (30mph plus for most roads ;)) but you won't know if your bike is assisting past the legal cutoff limit (25kph in uk) without the speed sensor. I think the speed sensor is needed to get the torque sensor feel (push harder get more power). As you...

I have. Been running it for a while now. I can't remember much recent development with the throttle recently but there are a couple of forks of the old open source firmware which will definitely work. I ran one of these for a while but I much prefer the current versions Out of interest why do...

There are some magnets in the torque sensor that can be moved to a different position. The general process I followed is here: https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-firmware/TSDZ2_wiki/wiki/How-to-calibrate-the-torque-sensor Its worth reading through the manual as well...

After fruitless talks with the seller in china I decided to take mine apart and reconfigure the base settings for the torque sensor. I now have a base reading of about 45 and a max reading of 90 (though I don't think it matters what the base reading is - just that you have a good spread between...

No problems. If the cadence does become a problem then its possible to run a higher voltage battery to raise the cadence without making any other modifications(assuming you have the 36V 250 watt road legal motor then running a 42 or 48V battery will up the cadence at which assistance is...

I assume you have seen the open firmware project for the TSDZ2? I'm primarily interested in it for lifting the pedal cadence assist limit - though I don't have a well functioning unit at the moment. I can see a higher cadence being useful on a trike where you can't stand on the pedals for that...

In case anyone is having the same problems in the future, I have an idea of what my problem might be. I am getting different torque settings in the rE1 settings menus (called TE1 earlier) depending on the way the crank is set when I turn on. If I rotate the chain side crank horizontal and to the...

I don't suppose anyone has come across a way of resetting the torque sensor? Mine shows 115-118 on startup (max I can get is about 130 by jumping on the pedals so not a huge range). Fairly convinced this is the problem I'm having (same symptoms as others report here).

Hi Have sent you a direct message. Would rather not make anything totally public for a manufacturer that is working hard to make sales.

Yes. I went for the cheapest battery option (its about 900 euros but I fortunately picked a point when the exchange rate was momentarily slightly better) but I still think I get similar battery mileage as with the double sized battery on my BBS01 because its not powering as often (can be...

It suits my needs so well I have nearly bought one of these as a spare: https://www.eazybike.net $170 for a similar system including battery. I have tested with the grip tape and in moderate rain. Its slip proof enough not to notice any difference. Its correct tool for the job at the end of...

The kite came with 2 replacement strips. Adhesive backed. There are some instructions supplied but I haven't actually got around to replacing mine. Need to do it in the next couple of days. Should be a case of peel and replace. The strips are cut to size and have a diagonal cut to avoid a single...

Since my BBS01 packed in I have been running this kit as my day to day commuter whilst I found time to fix the hub drive (too many other projects to sort out). As this seems to be a less used kit design I thought I would post a few observations to help others who might be unsure whether this...

Back in unpowered commuting over the last week I can say that about 50% of the perceived extra crank effort is in my mind. Looks like the geared hubs are pretty free spinning.

Thanks. I have to admit though that I'm not entirely certain what you are measuring on your multimeter. The connections on my kit are subtly different. I have received my new controller but I'm still not seeing signs of life. Whats the minimum I need connected to get the motor to turn over...
