Apologies for this question @jonjo1702 but have you actually tried fitting the battery back on the bike and seeing if you can ride under power? If you can, ride around for a few miles to discharge the battery a bit and then see if the charger performs as expected.

The price fluctuates day to day - yesterday when my friend ordered one it was £215 (honest :rolleyes: ) today its another £6 - from PSWPower HERE - delivery of the 5 previous orders I and friends have made has typically been about 4 working days.

More involved that fitting a hub motor maybe, but certainly not what I'd describe as difficult. The trickiest part is likely to be the rerouting of any gear cables that go under the bottom bracket. And at £215 for a TSDZ2 36v 250w is not a deal breaker either.

@geordieracer - before deciding on either a a Bafang BBSxx or TSDZ2 motor, be sure you understand the different ride characteristics each will give you; Bafang is 'cadence assist' whilst the Tong Sheng is 'torque assist'.

The mud flap extensions are a great suggestion and I like others have extended the front mudflap. I also liberally applied mastic to all of the cable exit points on the motor although TBH the original seemed up to the job but........ And I removed the outer cover and applied Red Rubber Grease to...

@alexfnoble Maybe they've sold out due to heavy demand? Let's hope it's that rather than anything ominous.

Answer - yes, no problem.

I agree that that can be an issue in some configurations (of handlebars and cables) but I'd seen the bag I've got on a mate's bike and took a punt and it works fine for me. The zippered opening is at the front and getting the 10s/2p battery pack in is fine and I lead the power cable out through...

I've no direct knowledge of any of those models but one thing that is common with all three is the rear rack upper fixing point which appear to be via the rear mudguard. With anything like a load on the rack, forward momentum stresses this connecting point and my friend's broke after just...

I've just 'stressed tested' the LG M50LT battery pack I've built (10s 2p) over three long-ish rides with good results as I've mentioned in another post HERE.

An update on my 10s 2p battery pack build using 21700 LG M50LT cells: I built this pack to supplement my main battery, a 10Ah 36v bottle type - this in anticipation of wanting to ride beyond the range it gives me (in excess of 45 miles on the ECO setting - TSDZ2 250W) I've mounted the battery...

I ride regularly with my local Cycling UK group and many have bikes with Bosch motors and I don't recall any riders experiencing problems. There are however plenty of 'noises' when it comes to visiting the dealership and the cost therein (servicing, software upgrades and so forth). Three...

The power of advertising eh! And then there's the Hamlet cigar adverts brilliant and ideal if you can't loosen your..... no I won't go there again .

Thankyou @alexfnoble for your reply and if your new want turns out to be all that you hope for then it'll do very well. There are those that have used the TSDZ2 who have had technical problems and would welcome a more robust motor capable of delivering more power and taking harsher treatment...

@soundwave What are 'custom jobs' - is it a year's wait for all re-celling work or are 'custom jobs' something else? The inability to re-cell some brands of battery packs is often mentioned due to the BMS being CANBUS and so forth. It would be useful if there were a list on the forum...

Welcome to the forum @alexfnoble and thanks for offering to answer questions of which I can expect you will get many. 1 - Is the Toseven mid drive a derivative of the TSDZ2 and if so, what are the advantages of the Toseven over the TSDZ2 2 - if the Toseven is a new design, how do you view it in...

I constructed my own 10s 2p 36v nominal 10Ah pack using LG M50LT (21700) for around £100 plus the cost of a spot welder from China and then a bike bag on top, so the offering from Woosh bikes is I'd say, very good value.

Electrolysis is supposed to do a good job of rust removal and for the fans of TV's 'Repair Shop', Dominic Chinea shows some good examples in this YT video HERE. Each to their own but I won't be sticking my nuts in vinegar anytime soon.

Good luck with your build of the bike @gpt BTH I'm disappointed to not see someone convert a folder.

Not heard of them. When considering any ebike kit, one needs to bear in mind that they are usually made to a low-ish price point and therefore it is possible to get problems with them. Now that's no big deal if the kit, or motor in this case, has a wide support community and availability of...
