Never put pressure on the pedals before you turn on the screen. I would disconnect both the battery and the sensor; reconnect the sensor, then the battery and turn the screen on; wait for the screen to be steady which only takes a few seconds, then start pedalling.

I've hauled a trailer around with up to 80kg load, using a TSDZ2 motor for 3 years; it's a torque sensor crank drive. It works with a 68mm BB. I've tried the motor on two 3 wheel recumbents and one 4 wheeler; whilst it's a pedal assist, there are kits with a throttle; useful if one is injured or...

I've used both 36V and 52V TSDZ2 kits; the 36V has been in use for almost 3 years and pulled up to 100kg of load (inc trailer); the only thing that has needed replacing is the VLCD5 screen. On the standard 36V the support tails off when spinning at higher cadences (over 90RPM) so surprised to...

I've got an iPhone and it only says Android supported.

How do you adjust the current control? Via the tongsheng software? Or do you mean the 'power adjustment selection'? I haven't wired up a watt meter yet so haven't tested whether that makes any difference if you change the figure in that menu; I remember reading on ES that it didn't affect it...

I've got a new model with 8 pin and throttle. I guess one can attach Anderson connectors to either side of the shunt - one to battery and one to controller. The aim is to adjust the torque PAS and be able to gauge power and consumption to understand existing PAS level power levels (Eco etc) and...

I am trying to find out how one installs a Cycle Analyst (CA) to a TSDZ2; has anyone tried this? I remember seeing someone on a video online that already had a CA installed on their bike but can't find the video. I understand one has to run wires from the CA to the controller. Thanks, Andrew

D How did the Bafang Max compare with the BBS02 in terms of the power and the torque sensor?

Is the BBS02B any better at climbing hills compared with the BBS01B (i.e. more torque) or the same?

Nuvinci is also one of the lowest efficiency drivetrains; hopefully a Rohloff with the new e-shifting unit will give a fairly seamless shifting experience at much lower loss of energy, at a lighter weight and with greater gear range.

Are you on the order list then? There's a BBS02 branded 250W motor here http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/store/p69/Bafang®_BBS02B_mid_drive_conversion_kit_36V_250W.html

In that case, could you not use a belt drive in lieu of the chain leading to the hub motor sprocket?

This is a link to the webpage of the same type of recumbent I am getting, in terms of their stokemonkey type layout. If it doesn't take you to the right page it's page 19 about half way down considered and disregarded a Bafang BBS. http://velorizontal.bbfr.net/t21269p450-pederrodek-skoul-ar-pevarzek

As you know, amongst other things, I am looking for the quietest drive; if this arrangement makes it noisier then I'll have to reconsider. I can't put hub motors in the wheel of the faired recumbent that I am getting. It's also why I'm trying to source very quiet crank drives. I haven't had the...

Finally had the chance to test the Brose earlier today; very quiet; quietest mid drive I've ridden. Very natural pedalling cadence and as such smooth power delivery. Looking forward to the Brose S version which will have a wider power delivery in terms of torque, but very impressed with this...

Hmm; if I do try this out, it would not be dissimilar to the Stokemonkey layout but on a recumbent, so would need to find or get someone to fabricate a mount unless anyone knows where to source something suitable; I think the boom where the existing BB mount is installed is 40mm. Would you be...

Thanks d8veh and I appreciate your advice, but hearing is personal to oneself. Also, would I not have to get a 48V battery with the 48 version; I currently own a 36V battery.

Does anyone here own one of these motor controller combinations? Would be really helpful for me to try one out. I'm based in Hertfordshire but can cycle a bit further afield or train it to London/Brighton.

Thanks David. I will be trying out both Steps and Brose this weekend, so should have a better idea if either are worth pursuing.

I don't know if you've seen the news about the Brose S model which will be out shortly - same chassis and top end torque, but the power band is much wider across the cadences: https://electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/ebike-motor-power-curve-comparison-chart-bosch-yamaha-shimano-brose.14085/
