    UK supplier for reliable rack-mount batteries?

    As per description, looking for reasonable quality 36v rack-mount packs from a UK seller, preferably with bluetooth BMS. Can’t find anything from the usual suspects and the Ali/ebay/amazon options get mediocre reviews at best. Any suggestions? Thanks awfully

    BBSHD - rotational knocking sound under higher load with PAS and throttle

    My newly installed BBSHD running at 52V has developed a rotational knocking noise under high loads and occurring under both PAS and throttle. Drive is a BBSHD with Lekkie BBSHD final drive cover V2, well greased with Aeroshell grease 22. @wheeliepete in answer to your question (deleted?), it...

    Had to go with a chunkier drive on the cargo bike so now selling our complete 48V 750W TSDZ2 drive kit (68-73mm) with 48V 17.5Ah LG MJ1-celled HL battery pack. Both purchased from PSW Power in June of last year (2021). Drive works without issue but I did have to file a few mm off the back of...

    Great buying experience from Eclipse Bikes

    This felt worth sharing as recently ordered an EM3EV battery pack from Eclipse Bikes and was genuinely impressed with the service and the product. Rob is helpful and happy to answer questions, with both pre and post-sales communications being spot on. As soon as the pack arrived I got an email...

    52V downtube packs: EM3EV 35E vs Electron 21700 vs other?

    Got a 52V BBSHD on the way but yet to order a battery pack. Would appreciate first hand insight on two packs I've shortlisted, or recommendations for alternatives of comparable spec and quality from UK sellers which are in stock. Must be lockable downtube styles as has to be removed from bike...

    Anyone ordered from Deruiz via Amazon?

    Need a BBSHD relatively quickly with costs known up front (business purchase), i.e. none of the 'VAT/no VAT' gamble on imports. Hunting around turned up Deruiz on Amazon marketplace. Anyone used them or know anyone who has? Thanks

    Need a beefier drive than TSDZ2; keep existing 48V batt for BBSHD or upgrade to 52V?

    Love the ride experience of the TSDZ2 - if not the well known design & manufacturing issues - but it's become clear it isn't up to what I need with carrying and towing heavy loads on steep terrain. Consensus of some extremely helpful and experienced modders is that even with firmware updates and...

    Look 'Trail Grip'; Found my ideal runabout pedals

    Possibly of interest to anyone having the 'shin-shredder vs. slip-n-slide' pedal debate with themselves. Put some of Bikester's 'Red' branded alloy platforms on our Mundo earlier this year and while they're hands down the grippiest, comfiest flats I've ever used (no hotspots even in super...

    48V lights - suggestions?

    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...

    TSDZ2 project #2 (another long-tail): Yuba Mundo

    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...

    UK or EU stockists of TSDZ2 speed sensor extension cables?

    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...

    Help! Tube-mounted battery brackets, adaptors etc. - what options are there?

    Got a new frameset on the way and unlike my last project which was built on a nine-year-old bike, I obviously can't just insert extra rivnuts in the downtube to mount my powerpack without invalidating my warranty. The new frame is a Yuba Mundo, to which I need to fit a 17.5 Hairon pack on the...

    TSDZ2 non-drive side crank binding against BB when tightened

    Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but a search didn't show anything immediately related. On fitting the non-drive side crank to the TDSZ2 today and tightening to a (very) modest 35 N m, the crank arm bottomed out and bound completely against the unit's BB face. Is this a known issue or...

    Enviolo for a long-tail mid-drive cargo bike: advice on selection and required components

    As described elsewhere I'm in the process of converting a Kona Ute long-tail cargo bike to mid-drive. As part of that I've been debating whether to: Refresh the existing 2x drivetrain with a wider range cassette to better deal with the reduced spread from the TDSZ2 42t up front, or Go with a...

    Kona Ute mid-drive conversion: advice appreciated

    Hi all, Joined the forum a few years ago when first looking at building an e-cargo bike but struggled to find a base bike and ended up parking the project. Just this weekend I've finally bagged a mk2 Kona Ute for a decent price and I now need to convert it into a viable daily-driver for...

    Hi - considering a runabout for hilly town

    Hello all. Been cycling for years, with some XC and DH racing in (distant) youth, along with fitness and general hacking about. Also owned and thrashed most types of bike in that time, other than trikes and pedelecs. My stable these days is at a low ebb of one general hack in the form of an...
