    Solar battery charging for ebikes.

    So I can just pump 58v into the charge port continuously and the BMS will sort out the shut-off when fully charged?

    Solar battery charging for ebikes.

    Good point! Say 58V @ 500 - 1000 mA as a charge rate?

    Solar battery charging for ebikes.

    I have a new bike shed going in down my garden, could someone give a 'shopping list' with ballpark costs if I wanted a solar setup on the roof to charge my 52V 17.5ah battery? Happy for it to take as long as it takes to charge.

    PLEASE help me decide - I'm going insane!!

    If you don’t like how the bbshd behaves PAS wise, then I think you’ll find the same with the bbs02 and the hub drives as they work in fundamentally the same way. TDSZ-2 may be your best bet, I think the crank axle issues are not as prevalent as you think. Would need to see some better pics of...

    Carrera crossfire 2 bafang 750w

    I’d probably for starters consider the same number of teeth as your largest chainwheel. You'll have the assistance of the motor to counter the higher gearing. The clearance should be ok as the motor will push it out to kinda the same position it is in now.

    Carrera crossfire 2 bafang 750w

    How many teeth do the existing chain wheels have? I did a spreadsheet for mine to work out the speed in each gear based on the rpm of the chain wheel. i geared mine for a max of 40mph flat out, I’ve software limited it to 25 so the top gears are a kind of low rpm/overdrive though. mine has 29...

    Help! Nut size

    Not sure it matters does it? Might as well have that one on there than a thinner one; it'll be the same strength if the same number of threads are engaged.

    Help! Bbs01 or Bbs02 or bbshd for a roadbike 250w motor

    Why dont you just buy a brand new e-road bike? Decathlon have some for £1099. I think this might suit you better than conversions. How did you manage to sell your BBSHD bike, I thought it had 'issues' ?

    52v 28ah triangle battery/Conversion with hard case

    What power is your hub drive? I like the carbon frame cover look. Don't go too fast through Poole or you’ll catch a copper's eye.

    BBSHD - rotational knocking sound under higher load with PAS and throttle

    I've noticed a click/knock from my recent installed BBSHD but I'm not too worried about it, I think its the clutch engaging/disengaging. It only does it when the motor is hot (after 20 miles or so) so I think the grease is thinner at this point. It only does it when pedalling hard and once on...

    Review Tong Sheng TSDZ2 Owner Survey

    I contacted the manufacturer of the TDSZ2 in March to ask for engineering drawings and they told me there is a replacement/new model ready to launch. It was due for launch in April but has been delayed due to covid.

    Help! MTB frame criteria for Tongsheng TSDZ2?

    Thats a pretty minor issue, can easily route the cables externally or drill a new hole in the frame if need be.

    Help! MTB frame criteria for Tongsheng TSDZ2?

    Althhough I’ve heard that there are no good offset chainrings (like the bling ring) for the tdsz2. my other bike is a 700c hybrid with a triple chain ring and the tdsz would fit that with no issues at all.

    Help! MTB frame criteria for Tongsheng TSDZ2?

    Mine was a single chain wheel frame and although it took a lot of work (mainly thinking) and I chose the most expensive motor simply because it fit best, now it is all together it is working superbly. I can get all gears with no problems. you might be able to draw a sort of reverse template...

    BBS01 + Boardman MHT 8.6 27.5". Spacers?

    My bike is a 148mm rear axle with a 1x11 cassette so the chainstay is quite wide. I tried the templates for tongsheng, bbs02 and bbshd and found the bbshd was the best fit. The bbshd has a larger but thinner main gear than the bbs02. There is a video on that bafang USA site where they found the...
