I am a hands on type of person, a toolaholic. I had to actually file the inside of the bb shell to fit it, as the shell was deformed due to factory welding. Also I had to file the motor casing itself to fit exactly flush to the chainstay (not much a few mil deep). It's not something anyone could do, but I did it to keep my rims, that and the fact that mid-drives have better power transfer than hub drives.

Go with Halfords for they will fix it for you if something will go wrong. Of course their bikes are not bargain, the parts are cheap for the price, and build quality is merely acceptable. If it was for something more serious like daily commuting I would get a decent mid-range hybrid bike, convert it and learn how to maintain it and fix it yourself.

It was the nut which is pressing the motor to the the BB shell, what I did was (excuse my terminology) smashed the big ass silver nut into submission with a BB spanner and a rubber mallet, I think I was able to move in another 45 degrees. Then I also took off the pedals, and greased the threads. The creaking is gone, although I'm not sure what did it my money is on that big nut that is pressing the motor to the BB shell. I put a mark on the nut to see if it will move again.

Don't see the reason for your edginess. You're just spamming.

Okay do you have this motor and experience the same issue? It began only after few months of use.

It's a pedelec with pressure sensor. The motor would not run if I would not pedal with pressure. But yea, I can pedal without pressure too, but then the motor would not run. There is noise only when I pedal with applying pressure. I checked the pedals, they are as tight as they can be, should I lubricate them you think the internal gearing can make the noise? When you talk about BB shell faces what do you mean by a shell face? Since both BB and the motor bracket are aluminium is there a need to grease it?

Only when I apply pressure to pedals / when the motor is running. I dread taking the motor off as it was really difficult to install it. I thought maybe the nylon gear is wearing off? Or there is not enough lubrication? There was no creaks when I installed it, tightening the bolts did not solve the issue.

Anyone has this motor can help me troubleshoot it? The creaking noise happens when I apply pressure on the pedals. It is quite loud I can almost hear it in the traffic. I have tightened all bolts it seems it either come from the pedals themselves or the motor. The motor is about 2 months old. I know this is a more general forum so maybe anyone knows if there is a TSDZ2 community anywhere where I can ask questions?

Alright I will wait till spring, maybe rules will change.

I found a 48v 250W kit but the pound per hour does not agree with me. I am planing to spend no more than £400-450 because over £600 I can get a new bike and sell mine.

I see. Quite confusing to a layman. The motor is limited to 15.5mph but not physically. And in that sense 48V makes more sense as it will pull more juice from the battery and get me quicker uphill while staying below the limit. That's how I see it. I had a look and I cannot find 250W 48V motor, I see only 500W and 750W

I need it to get me through the hills sweat free and I'm looking towards TSDZ2 either 250w or 350w

I bet you're right, I bet they are the cheapest possible batteries. I have no idea what a max discharge current means, I can imagine it means if a motor needs more than 12 the battery will give away no more than 12 amps. But question is would a motor need more than max allowed?

Anyone knows of any good 36v 10ah batteries? Around £150 mark I was looking at this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-360Wh-36V-10Ah-High-Power-E-Bike-Lithium-Ion-Battery-Pedelec-Battery-Set-Electric-Bike/32902196199.html?spm=2114.search0204.3.156.652a51bcnD2txU&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10065_10068_10130_10547_319_317_10548_10696_10192_10190_10924_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10920_10921_10922_10307_10820_10301_10821_10303_537_536_10882_10059_10884_10887_100031_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_51,ppcSwitch_0_ppcChannel&algo_expid=e129ccc9-ccea-498a-b665-a98567d4d3c5-23&algo_pvid=e129ccc9-ccea-498a-b665-a98567d4d3c5 p.s. I'm fit but not by choice lol

36V x 10ah = 360W/h what the hell is watt per hour anyway? So how do you calculate mileage from this figure? I read that in theory it will give me 20 miles BUT how?
