    Maintenance on my TSDZ2 screw size?

    I need to pull my motor apart as I inadvertently submerged most of the motor the other day while riding through the New Forest. Turned a corner of the forest trail and bam! Straight into a deep puddle. Many on here have had issues with the screws so I wanted to know exactly which screws I...

    TSDZ2 Noise levels

    My TSDZ2 is to all intents and purposes totally silent. My tyres on the road make more noise than the motor. Other e-bikes commercial or DIY seem to make a heck of a racket, I can hear them coming from afar. Is this the experience of others? Or am I blessed with a good 'un? Interested to...

    Rear lights - recommendations?

    I haven't had much luck with rear lights on my bike. They either fall off and get lost when traversing uneven ground or potholes, or they fade out after only a few minutes even with a full charge. I need one to fit the end of my rear bike rack, not seat post mounting as I have a knapsack on the...

    I ordered an 860c display for my experimentation but have just lost interest with the colder weather. No longer have the time as helping to look after autistic granddaughter and I just can't be bothered. The standard display is good enough for my needs now. Purchased from Aliexpress for $81...

    Stand-alone insurance for e-bikes

    Can anybody give a recommendation for e-bike stand-alone insurance? I live in a grandad/granny flat I had built on my son's big house. He organises and pays for the insurance and I just discovered my bike is not covered by it this year as he changed insurers to get a better deal. Cheers Tony.

    2 years on with the TSDZ2....

    Haven't been on here for a while, but thought I'd post a couple of observations. I fitted this mid motor back in 2019 review here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/whoosh-crank-drive-tongsheng-kit-review.34071/post-489738, and have been very happy with the kit from Whoosh. I have only...

    PSWPower after sales service?

    I was almost ready to purchase a kit from these guys before xmas, but hesitated at the last moment when replies to my queries were answered by a numpty who seemed to not be bothered and just cut and pasted info already available on their adverts. Also in their terms and conditions, all faulty...

    Thule Easybase and bicycle racks

    After my 3-bike rack was totalled in France in September I've been searching for a new solution/replacement. Thule do an interesting towbar mounted base system to which can be added all sorts of carrying accessories. There used to be a bike rail accessory, but for some reason they no longer...

    And all of a sudden...there were no lights.....

    Got home from my ride the other day and forgot to charge the bike, I hadn't gone far, just along from the University to Bournemouth Pier and then along the prom. to Sandbanks and back, about 15 miles or so. When I plugged in the charger this morning, no red light (or any other colour) on the...

    Steering limiter

    Has anyone any knowledge of after-market diy steering limiters? The handlebars on my Eagle Freego has a nasty tendency to swivel when on it's stand or when I'm trying to get it on my bicycle rack.

    Is there a central register for stolen bikes?

    I'm going to be looking at a used e-bike today, I'm a bit suspicious as it has no key and no charger, so it's ringing alarm bells. Is there a register somewhere for stolen bike where I can check the serial number? Cheers, Tony.

    electrification of lightweight folder with hub gears

    I'm looking for a folding bike that has hub gears, they are few and far between. There is a couple of posts on the "Which electric bike should I buy?" forum on this topic, and many of the replies to them don't read the original posts correctly where the posters absolutely specify hub gears...

    Older Freego Eagle replacement controller suggestions

    Edit- I think I may have posted this in the wrong thread-perhaps it should be in technical? I recently bought a bike from an older member here Mike63 for a bargain price:). I am having the battery re-celled by BGA reworking after taking advice from various members on this forum, I was...

    European trip with bikes, what spares etc?

    Finally took the plunge, sold the house, gave the boy some cash to build a granny flat for us on his place so we will soon be footloose and fancy-free. While the extension is being built, we are going to take a couple of months out to see all the places in Europe we have been aching to see...

    Why Derailleurs gears?

    After being in the colonies for 33 years and not on a bike during that time, on returning to blighty I find it very perplexing why the derailleur gear system is so ubiquitous in the UK. It's exposed to the elements, is always a pain to adjust, you can't change gears when stationary - so why...
