I note that you're looking for a bike suitable for touring, so traditional panniers or bike packing kit? And what sort of weight will the kit be and how far per day between charging?

Is that 'dont' or 'can't'? I've not owned Bosch batteries but from friends who have and from the forums, I get the impression that even if you can get to the BMS and diagnose it, you couldn't get a replacement BMS let alone get it to work with the rest of the Bosch system. I may be wrong on...

When what's on? Some pics of the problem would be helpful in understanding the issue.

There are a surprising number of 'lost power' issues reported on the forum where the BMS turns out to be the culprit. I have experienced the same with my TSDZ2 and 10Ah bottle battery and whilst I await a replacement BMS, I am running the battery with the discharge function bypassed. I've OSF on...

Many controllers will only be able to provide modest power (6 watts ish) to lights. If you use more powerful lights than that then you're into the realms of using the controller light output to switch a relay or some such. Some consider it easier to use some of the many powerful and...

According to the link below, you need the 'fat version for a f2f that size. https://bafangusadirect.com/products/bafang-1000w-bbshd-mid-drive-ebike-motor-kit

It's a simple truth that adding an electric motor to a bicycle , an erstwhile simple machine, has increased the maintenance liability three fold and if you've bought proprietary kit then it's the dealership for you where repairs can soon become uneconomical. To a lesser extent this is the same...

There are some useful drawing of both motors in a recent thread (below) and 50mm/5cm on the B&B isn't going to work. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/could-some-kindly-take-some-measurements-of-a-tongsheng-and-bafang-mid-drive.42860/#post-643646

Hi Ray - would you mind providing a link please? Cheers, B4t

... and of course a potential buyer will need to know about the battery holder shape and terminal placing as they may have to factor in the price of a replacement holder. Any proof of ownership would also be useful to quell any suspicion that the battery is stolen. On the more technical...

I couldn't agree more and thanks to this forum, my ebike knowledge grows every day.

Yes, very much a 'how long is the bit of string' question. I'm sure there will be other posters saying how long their batteries have lasted, but without knowing what cells are in it and how hard (as in current pulled from them vs their spec) they've been used, then such reports will INHO be...

..... and just to add: some cycle lanes are shared with peds or separated by a line down the middle. Many cyclists ride at 15mph+ which on such routes is hazardous to all - the road is therefore much safer for the peds and cyclists.

+1 for all of that @vidtek - when you hear of the various TSDZ2 issues, you never know what weight the rider is, the power/volts they are pushing through the motor and the riding conditions the motor is being asked to work with. I pootle a bit more than you (usually either either side of the...

An interesting discussion - whether the high viz guy was just going to step in the kerb to pass the two pedestrians or something else, we'll never know. If this were a 'spot the ball' sort of thing, I'd say the guy was just going to step into the kerb to pass behind the peds, and surely he'd...

Just to say that in my bottle battery I suspected the switch as initial observation seemed to point that way but the problem turned out to be the BMS after all. As you probably know, switching the battery on and off is usually acheived by sending a control signal to the BMS rather than...

In the absence of anyone recognising and/or recommending a suitable replacement that works with your display, then as has been said in other posts, go for a KT (Kung Teng) controller and matching display. Just search AliExpress with 'KT Controller' to get an insight into what you can get.

An interesting thread to follow. Until 2 years ago I pedalled un-assisted bike regularly and fairly vigorously until 3 episodes of atrial fibrillation laid me low (8 months of idleness over an 18 month period). Further, the cardiologist suggested I take it easy for 3 months after recovery and...

Me too - the torque sensor option is what sold the TSDZ2 for me. So when you trawl the internet and YouTube and find the problems people can have with the TSDZ2, also see how they may have been using their motor - some 250lb guy with his 750w 52v battery doing jumps on a hot day or a...
