The screws are are slot headed and are very tight to remove so ensure the screwdriver you use is a good fit in the slot and apply plenty of downward pressure when undoing. On the two motors I've dismantled the screws have seemed unreasonably tight (maybe there's a reason for this?) so I can...

Apologies if I missed it, but what voltage is your battery? If 48v rather than 36v, then for any given power output the possible overheat issues are less so with the 48v version. The heat is caused by the current through the motor and as Power is the product of current and voltage (P = I x V)...

I've just been out to my bike shed armed with a steel rule and measured from the downtube centre to the inside face of the RH crank adjacent to the peddle spindle: TSDZ2 with TS crank - 100mm TSDZ2 with Bafang crank - 90mm And by way of comparison from my Trek carbon framed road bike - 60mm

Yes, lots of postings and vids about the TSDZ2 but of course forums attract the 'it's broke how do I fix it' type of postings rather than 'it's been sweet and gives no problems' type. On Endless Sphere for instance, there are postings about the Blue Gear wearing, axles breaking and the motor...

I'm a fan of the TSDZ2 and the case screws issue is a new one to me - where did you read about it and I wonder what the bike had been used for ie. lots of immersion in water, maybe salty and not kept clean etc etc? I've 6,000+ Km on my motor and I periodicly remove the motor case to ensure all...

In the event that you do find someone to work with you on the TS, what about the software development angle? (I'm assuming the signal from the TS needs to work with the OEM formware? Given how long and the number of iterations in the development of OSF for the TSDZ2, that's a long path to tread...

OSF only works with the original controllers (now refered to as V1) - maybe your have a version 2 controller - to check which one you have, see the details in the pic below.

Enjoy your new bike and maybe feed back in a few months time when you've clocked up a few miles. Given your style of riding I'd hazard a guess that the battery will give you 80-100 miles if sticking mainly to ECO. When you are back at the dealers to get the lighting issue resolved (was this...

Do you not think that a direct short would have blown the battery fuse? The OP says 'smoke pouring out' which to me suggests something prolonged and thus something other than wires shorting? As said, the whole battery and controller (both in the case) require further inspection by someone who...

I'm just wondering how a rack mounted battery would suffer damage from tightening? Maybe a screw, not an original but one that was too long, penetrated the battery case? I guess the OP will see more when they withdraw (if they can) the battery from the battery case.

Other apps to consider are OSMand and LocusMaps - I've used LocusMaps for many years now as it has a comprehensice knowledge Base to help you learn the app. One thing to grasp about the difference between following a TRACK and following a ROUTE A ROUTE: (which is what Google Maps uses BTW) -...

I never thought I'd see a post from a 'weight weeny' on an ebike forum :D:D:D

Getting a tube pinched happened to me - pumped up to full pressure and as I was packing my tools away - BANG - I nearly had to change my........ never mind BUT the tyre wasn't damaged at all. Whose tyre was it and what exactly was the damage to the tyre - side wall split, tyre bead torn from...

Hi @StuartsProjects - I'm enjoying your write-ups - thank you - I'm not in the market for a Brompton although I've toyed with the idea more than once but it is interesting to see how you develop your conversion none the less.

Hi @guerney - the bit that I posted about above was to do with the 3rd party insurance cover that comes with membership of cycling UK. Pedal Cover is personal insurance against theft etc and as you point out, it doesn't cover conversions It'll be interested to see if you do get...

That would be a worry if it did say that but it doesn't - it just just says electric pedal bikes ...... (link). And under Cycling UK's website page here, it is clear as to what they describe as an electric pedal bike so as a member of Cycling UK and with my ebike conversion falling within...

Well done you guys on shedding the 'stones' and including cycling in the regime is such a nice way to do this - providing of course that the 'coffee and cake' stops are under control o_O . Been out myself today with a friend - such a lovely day and managed TWO coffee/cake stops!!!

I run OSF on a vlcd6 display and at power initially only just one battery bar shows then after a few seconds the true state shows. I always treat this time period, rightly or wrongly, as the boot up period during which time I keep my feet clear of the pedals whilst the torque sensor circuits are...
