An alternative is to add a buck converter to your battery pack to deliver 12 or 5volts. There are lots on the market, I use this one for my USB connection: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Step-Down-Waterproof-Transformer-Voltage/dp/B07YCQ72ZN But there are 12volt ones such as this...

When helmets became mandatory in Australia I took my bike to the tip and never rode again there. Ridiculous - cycling in 42deg with a stupid padded hat on was not for me or thousands upon thousands of other Aussies. The statistics just do not add up and no matter how the authorities tried to...

Haven't been on here for a while, but thought I'd post a couple of observations. I fitted this mid motor back in 2019 review here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/whoosh-crank-drive-tongsheng-kit-review.34071/post-489738, and have been very happy with the kit from Whoosh. I have only...

Resurrecting an old thread here, but just wanted to update all on my satisfaction with the Tongsheng kit. I have gone all green an bought a Nissan Leaf, but cannot fit the Thule bike carrier as tow-hitches are not in the Leaf's homogulation rules for the UK - yet. So until I can fit my...

I do get bored easily! But I have an email alert on this thread so just received it. Forestier- I have been using the bike on and off for a while now, I fell off it after a cat ran out in front of me in a small alley and I wrapped myself around a lamppost at 15mph. As I'm an old fart it's...

As long as it is within the certified nose weight of the tow-hitch there is no problem. I was followed up the M5 for about 20 miles by a highway patrol car, they saw no issues.

Crossroads, Thank you for this, I just know it's a really steep one with a silly cycle lane. Tony.

Thanks Whoosh for this. For those new to bikes like I am/was a few short months ago, the technical drawing of the motor does not show this absolutely critical measurement when contemplating if your bike will be suitable for a crank-drive kit. I have marked where it is in red. This may seem...

I bought a nice Thule 2-bike rack off Gumtree locally. £160. I find it quite easy to get on/off and the rack has a foot pedal at the rear to allow the bikes to be tilted at an angle to allow access to the boot. I also made up a plinth that I attach to the rack so it is a level platform for...

Whoosh- you didn't answer Eagle's question or perhaps you may need more time to consider? QUOTE" Just out of interest and for the benefit of other members, do you know of any suitable FS donor bikes for a Tongsheng TSDZ2 kit? Woosh probably knows."ENDQUOTE. I'd love to know too. Cheers, Tony.

Hi Eagle- I have seen these videos and have researched the problems associated with the blue gears. Andy told me they have had no problems with them so I suspect they have either been changed or the blue gears only give problems in extreme usage scenarios. I rang and asked him if when I receive...

Paul- The motor itself doesn't weigh an awful lot, the other bits and pieces have negligible weight, so if you can lift the bike now, then it will still be ok, with just a kilo or so extra with battery off. The battery comes with a cradle that attaches to the down tube where a water bottle...

Hello Paul, As Whoosh have said, there are 5 levels of assist, in practice I find there is little difference in the middle 4 levels, I just go straight from 1 to 5 depending on terrain. I try to do as much without any assist as I can, but as I am inherently lazy this doesn't work when there is...

Whoosh- My head agrees with you but my horrible reptile brain sneakily agrees with Benjamin.

To be honest, it never even occurred to me to re-route the cables - doh! I was just concentrating on trying to maintain the bike in as original condition as possible, for when I need to use it as a standard bike. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer am I?

I have no idea, there is no sign, but even the first diesel buses had to unload their passengers to ascend. At a guess, I would say it's about a 1 in 4 - it is a very short hill - I suppose that would be 25%, I don't do the new way of expressing hills, sorry I'm an old fart. Just googled it...

Have you seen my handlebars-not an inch of room for any more gadgets!

Everything beeps at you these days, I've got used to it. What really bugs me is the wailing wenches blaring at you from the PA systems wherever you go, shopping centres, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. I could cheerfully strangle all the the Maria Careys of this world.........

Most of this is taken from my post number #78 on a thread I started last year. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/pswpower-after-sales-service.33423/ I recently purchased a Specialized Crossroads lightweight road bike from our local charity bike shop here in Bournemouth, "Hope to Cycle"...
