@Bogmonster666 - an update on places to look to prevent water ingress on the TSDZ2: One of my instalations on a friends bike seemed to be noisier than mine for instance. I initially put this down to possible noise resonance in his large tubed aluminium frame but as he was swapping the motor...

You're doing well on the battery range side of things and is akin to my own findings. I have an 11-34 on the back and it helps with the hills The TSDZ2 controller won't let you run the battery flat as in damaging the battery chemistry, but will stop you discharging below a set voltage known as...

Thanks @guerney - after posting my last, that link did come up but (a) it's in 1 Kg tubs (I'll have shed my mortal coil way before I use anything near that much) and (b) there doesn't appear to be a UK distributor. Searching ebay or Amazon for something like 'plastic gear grease' brings up some...

That'd be VERY useful as it is a real PITA to re-route gear cables - I did manage to squeeze a short length of gear cable outer between the motor casing and BB shell and tie-wrap it down at each end - not idea and gear changes are a bit sluggish, but better than the alternatives. A friend of...

As a matter of routine maintence, i.e. every 1000 miles or so, I check out the Blue Gear for wear (none so far after 3,500 miles ish). So far I've just used Weldtite TF2 Lithium Grease* when needed, which I use on other parts of my bikes. Having recently found a Tong Sheng TSDZ2 Maintenace...

TBH it is often more cost effective, quicker and overall more beneficial, in terms of getting product refinement, to launch a new product into 'the wild' to let consumers loose on it. (not a good approach for 'fly by wire' aircraft of course - lol). Just look at Microsoft Windows for instance -...

Me too - once the ToSeven motors are taken up by customers, the folks who populate Endless Sphere will soon get stuck into finding the pros and cons.

Now no longer available - gone to a new home.

I have a 10Ah bottle battery and a 10Ah home built 21700 (LG M50LT) 10s/2p battery and I ride ECO all of the time now and I consistently get 45+ miles. I've ridden both batteries to 50 miles and whilst there is still some assistance, you can feel that power is flagging and calling for a higher...

Short answer to the OP's question is no I don't remove my display when parked up in a public space. That is mainly down to the fact that I had a choice of displays available with my TSDZ2 kit and I deliberately went for the minimalist VLCD6 which apart from not being very attractive to thieves...

+1 for all of the above and over time I have all my inner tubes as Presta but as said above, it's a personal thing. A small/tiny differentiator is that if you ride in a group/out with friends etc, carrying a spare Presta inner tube for not just yourself but one of the group should they need it...

I would say that it is a selling/plus point. First of we don't know that the lead engineer was responsible for the design faults. They may for instance have been restricted in certain aspects by costs or other manufacturing parameters outside of their control Secondly, now that the TSDZ2 has...

Funnily enough I noticed that I'd put my front tyre on the wrong way around after a roadside puncture repair (tube swap to be precise) so tomorrow it's out wheel, re-thread the QR skewer (release lever on the left of course o_O) and the speedo magnet changed over too.

I've only had one chain snap on me in maybe 50,000 miles and that was because I'd attempted to re-join a chain using the original link pin - silly me. I know carry a chain spliter tool and something like the KMC Missing Link in 8s, 9s and 10s (in with the puncture repair kit. NB - some say the...

I can guess where you've read of such problems but I wonder if for each incidence of failure you can deduce exactly how the bike/motor was being ridden and by whom. > Blue Gear Melting - not a problem for me - after 5,500Km I had a look to check a short while ago and no noticeable wear let alone...

A friend of mine got so hissed off with his Carrera/HESC bike giving him intermittent fails that in a fit of temper, stripped the whole lot off the bike (but left the motor in the wheel) and just rode it without electric assist (a crap ride like that though). Then introduced that same friend...

That is the UK delivered price - when you order the motor from Germany for dispatch to the UK, the seller's displayed price includes VAT and delivery charges. That's the way it was when I bought my motors back in Oct '21 and I've just rung the guy who ordered a few days ago and it is still that...

Fair enough but PSWPower is used successfully by many people - the problem comes if you for some reason wanted to return something - not sure how that'd work? From my perspective I wasn't interested in a 12m warranty and never anticipated that I'd be looking to return anything as I was happy...

Welcome to the 'TSDZ2 Happy Club' - between friends and self, we've 5 of them and everyone is happy with their motor. Yes, there might be minor niggles to deal with but at their price point they are good value. I've around 6000Km on mine now and although I've not looked recently, I've no reason...

An interesting vid - never seen those type of rims before but seeing what's involved I'm pretty sure I'll never be applying my limited wheel building skills to one.
