I am just about to embark on my first ebike build and need all the help I can get....
After a lot of reading I have decided the TDSZ2 seems to be the way to go. I am no longer built for my old flat bar road bike so couldn't resist a Whyte 604 compact in the sale.
Before taking the plunge and orderinga kit, I have a few concerns / questions.
See picture attached, there does not seem to be much clearance between the 32T crankset and frame. The Tongsheng comes with a 42T so is obviously going to be bigger but does it sit out further. I've only got about 15mm of clearance (176.5mm -136.1mm / 2) means I am going to need 21.2mm of clearance at least unless it sits out further... Am I also going to need a new chain. Full set up below.
Cassette: Microshift CS-H093, 11-46, 9 Speed
Chain: SunRace, 9 Speed
Crankset: Prowheel, Alloy, 3pcs Cranks Single Narrow Wide, 32T
I am also unsure of the legalities of the throttle version. Woosh only seem to have this version in stock at moment but I thought throttles were a no no ? Plus bike has hydraulic brakes so would need to fit sensors so more messy wires....
Finally, bike currently has nice tidy internal cable routing. It comes out under the crank. I am thinking of just removing the plastic guide underneath or would I need to reroute these two cables ? That is going to be beyond my abilities so would need to talk to our local bike shop.... A couple more pics attached.
Thanks in advance,
Rik
