Sixty miles in it’s time to share this conversion story. REQUIREMENTS I was looking for a bike with a step through frame to carry my toddler and some shopping up and down 15-20% inclines. Short trips to town, playground, some short country rides plus a 2 mile commute to work. All on mixed...

Hi, I installed a TSDZ2 in my old Raleigh ladies bike and while converting my gear shifter (holding up by the power of hot glue) gave up the ghost. I picked an inexpensive Shimano 8 speed Altus shifter to replace the old Sram TRX and match my Shimano Acera Derailleur. Will this be sufficient...

I converted my Raleigh Ladies bike with a TSDZ2 engine yesterday, yay! The bike rides great but unfortunately I lost the mounting space for the Ursus Jumbo double kickstand that I really needed for transporting my toddler on the rear rack. I'm looking for alternatives and among those I see...

I’m increasingly keen on fitting a TSDZ2 into my trusty sold Raleigh. It’s not a high spec bike but I’ve had it for 13 years and love the ride and the frame geometry. Taking things forward: I ordered Magura HS33 hydraulic rim brakes for the back wheel and after I test them next week I will...

With the need for lots of torque (Bath hills, toddler on my rack) and for a step through frame I am warming up to making a winter project of my trusty old Raleigh Voyager GLX. In the first instance I would like to change my rim brakes to disc brakes. Unfortunately there are no mounts on my...

Hi there, I want to be able to get myself and my toddler (11kgs) up and down a hill with up to 17% incline. This is not for regular commutes but for leisure rides like to the playground, to the city centre etc. 2-3 times a week. Ideally I would buy a new ebike but finances are tight in the...

Hello there, I'm trying to pick a bike that could get me (5.2ft 62kg F) and my toddler (11 kgs, 2yo, on a rack seat) up double digit inclines. Childcare and work are on my doorstep so we only need the bike for leisure trips, playgrounds and running some light errands, but the problem is that to...

Hello there, I moved from Amsterdam to Bath 4 years ago. Having tried an e-bike on our council's excellent free loan scheme I realised that Bath is cyclable -- I just need a pedelec engine to make this work. So now I'm trying to pick a bike that could get me (5.2ft 62kg F) and my toddler (11...
