    Standard bottle battery ?

    Are you sure the controller is in with the battery? I ask , as from the pics, it just looks like a standard bottle battery. If it is just a battery then £134 will get you a 36v 10Ahr bottle battery and holder from PSW Power via their Ali Express store - mine shipped from Germany in 6 calendar...

    Changing Wheels on Hub drive bike

    I'm with you on the 'chilling out' side of wheel building and have over the years done a handful for myself and family. What got me into it was a PDF book by Roger Musson (currently £9 but lifetime upgrades) - with the paper prints in front of me I found it easier to understand the principles...

    Help! TSDZ2 throttle & e brake info please

    Thanks for that @chris1403 as the issue you describe wasn't a factor that I'd have previously considered. I'm guessing what you're calling 'sprocket' is the chainring for the sync chain going to the front/Captin's chainring?

    The Easiest DIY Electric Bike Kit I've Ever Used! (Rubbee X)

    A good question but if you bought the kit today and today's version of the app worked fine, then don't update the app (you can turn off automatic updates so not a problem) unless you know the update will work with the kit. Then of course if you upgrade your smartphone, then the 'old' app you've...

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    Thanks @Nealh for your comment. My knowledge of how BLDC motors work is barely above minimal, but I can imaging that individual motor designs e.g. coil shape and positioning in relation to the permanent magnets and placement of the hall sensors and the vagaries of the sensors themselves, might...

    Help! TSDZ2 throttle & e brake info please

    Hi Chris - did you fit the TSDZ2 to the front or rear BB and was the BB eccentric? I'd be pleased to know of any 'tandem specific' issues you can across in the fitting. A lot depends on your sync chain arrangement I'm guessing? Cheers, B4t

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    Just to say that after playing with the C2 values, we found that C2 = 4 got the motor running to what sounded to be normal (and a considerable and marked improvement over that originally report when C2 = 0) Yes indeed - in the conversion we used a: KT T-06S 24V/36V250W Torque Simulation Sine...

    Help! TSDZ2 throttle & e brake info please

    I have two TSDZ2 which I initially ran with the stock firmware and you don't need e-brakes: you stop peddling and the motor runs on for less than a second and stops even with your feet 'pressing' the pedals When you get into OSF, you will need to use the Java configurator to set up the motor...

    Hello and what's the best ebike converstion kit out there....Help !

    Welcome to the forum and the world of ebikes May I suggest you have a good read of other posts and get more used to the terminology of ebikes as only then will you be best placed to understand the recommendations given. You also need to lay down a few factors about what type of cycling you will...

    2 years on with the TSDZ2....

    Heck, that's a hell of a wait - I was beginning to wonder if you'd dropped the TSDZ2 from your product line. Anyway whilst you're there .......... you've probably noticed that loosening cranks on the TSDZ2 is not an uncommon report on this forum - is this something you've come across in your...

    2 years on with the TSDZ2....

    Well done @vidtek for getting to the bottom of the clunking noise which turned out to be nothing to do with the TSDZ2 after all. As a new TSDZ2 owner I was drawn to your post by the title and until the very end of the thread I was wondering about the durability of the motor, but any reservations...

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    So two bikes each with their own TSDZ2 and both running with the minimal displays (VLCD6) and each with the OSF set up using the Java Configurator tool. There are many different settings available through the configurator and so far I've only dipped my toes into that area and for the moment I'm...

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    Many thanks @tim25 - can I ask what PAS have you fitted and I'm guessing it's on the non-drive side? Thanks - B4t

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    Thanks @Nealh - it's good to know the KT kit will get us there eventually - time to get the pen and pencil out and make a few changes and to note the effect and also to attempt an audio recording of the motor. As an aside, I note from this post here that @tim25 confirmed the hall wiring colours...

    Help! SR Suntour Resurrection Project - 'P' and 'C' values?

    A friend of mine was given a Carrera Vulcan as the previous owner had got fed up trying to fix it. In their frustration the owner had cut out and removed most of the cables and sensors so my friend inherited the battery and Suntour HESC motor (plus bike of course) but little else. Onwards and...

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    So continuing on from my post #64 above, the TSDZ2 arrived after some 7 calender days from ordering and a few days after that, the ST LINK/V2. I installed the motor and ran around a bit (50 miles) to get a feel for the 'out of the box' firmware configuration and then set about playing with the...

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    My Story: I'm a life-time casual cyclist (1st picture taken on a trike aged 3 yrs - hah!) In the last 15 years I've toured thousands of miles with camping kit on my Dawes Super Galaxy Two years ago saw the first debilitating episode of Atrial Fibrillation followed by 3 months of only housebound...

    Where would you recommend buying e-conversion kits from?

    I ordered a 250W TSDZ2 (VLCD6 display, no brakes, no throttle) directly from PWSPower's website and a 10Ahr bottle battery from their Ali Express outlet. Both items were shipped from their Germany warehouse - the battery arrived in about 4 wkg days and the motor a few days longer. Both items...

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Could you elaborate on the 'brick' possibility please? Whilst I'm no expert in software, firmware or flashing memory, I'm no novice either, and so far from the wide reading I've done into the subject, I've not seen an inherent risks of 'bricking it'. Thanks.

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    I've followed this thread since it started and now that my TSDZ2 is with Parcel Force as I write, I've been looking to understand the motor configuration/programming side more. STEP 1 - I am going to stick with one of the stock displays (VLCD6) for the moment, only venturing on to one of the...
