You are fitting your battery on the rear as well? Is that the box you are using? It certainly looks a lot stronger than the one I was evaluating for suitability! I haven't even dry fitted the battery to check for what I may need in regard to cabling etc so no doubt I will be placing similar...

It looks like my best option for my wife’s bike is to go with the rear rack and attach the battery to that. I could then fit a front rack which she can use to carry the bag she usually has on the back. It mightn't be the ideal solution but in this case it is the best option. I did look for...

Bearings are on their way. Yes, trusting the substantial weight of the battery to reliably hang upside down on a thin aluminium frame via a handful of nutserts while riding on rough terrain doesn’t inspire much confidence to be honest. I know others have done it but I’m not going to follow...

pedalfettal, You're a gentleman. I will order these tonight and get them fitted as soon as I can. Having the shaft supported at each end has to be a good thing. Are the original oil seals replaced by the two blue bearings or do the bearings seat deep enough to allow the oil seals to be...

The motor has just arrived. The battery will be another day or two I imagine. I have my wife's bike ready for fitment apart from a cable under the bottom bracket but I would like to fit these additional bearings before using the motor. I can see the oil seal on the non drive side; the seal on...

I'm a long way from perfection myself and as for getting old, youth is simply a memory that is disappearing rather rapidly in my rear view mirror. ;)

Hello Tony, Yes, been there done that in respect of the lady's input on matters. I was learning to fly microlights many years ago and my sister in law happened to see a photo of yours truly at the controls "up there". She looked at my wife and said "You know, you're going to have to get used...

We will never be out on the road with these bikes and there is only so much speed that is practical when rattling over rough forest fire roads. The surface is loose and there are people and dogs just around a blind corner on occasion. I’m 52 years old with a tagalong bike on the back and it’s...

That is an improvement then I am going to make as soon as I get the bearings. Is it one extra per side then? I have to admit I don’t understand what you mean here. Am I correct in thinking that when you say for instance 8 + 8 you mean that you could only avail of 8 out of the ten gears on your...

I'm not particularly well versed on road gradients and without that experience I cannot tell you what gradients I ride on but you show clearly that there are options. I will see how my wife's bike performs and will hopefully find out very soon. I could always strip my own bike down and fit the...

I bought mine from PSW Power simply because I am on a tight budget, I have two bikes to convert and their price was the best I could find for both the motor and the battery. I contacted them after placing my order with concerns about the measurements given for the battery. They were very...

From your experience, I expect that the battery I have bought for my wife's bike to be more than enough. There's no chance she will cover any more than 10 to 15 miles at most and even thought the paths are hilly, the battery should still have sufficient capacity to meet those needs. She will of...

Those may well be the ones I read about somewhere. If they are indeed soft or likely to become a problem at some point then best to change them to something better when in there. It is certainly something I will keep in mind for the first time I have cause to open mine up and changing them to...

That’s sounds very interesting indeed. In your opinion, would a similar setup suit my needs? I presently have seven speeds on the back and three on the front. If I kept the rear as it is and added a second chain ring to the TSDZ2B at the front, would that be sufficient to enable me to manage the...

It’s a 48v 14.5ah Hailong cased battery with Samsung cells which I am hoping will suit the 750w motor well in terms of being sufficient for a day out in the forest. It also looks like it may not fit on the down tube of my wife’s bike, at least on the upper side anyway but I will know more once...

Hello pedalfettal, I use copper grease quite a bit and it works admirably except in vehicle brake caliper guide pins where it seems to sort of gum up after a while and stick. Probably the heat. No problems with it elsewhere though and I am sure it would do very nicely in this application. As...

Hello Bikes4Two, You are 100% correct there and I have been guilty of that myself on occasion. When something goes wrong we feel aggrieved, incensed and therefore motivated to “warn” others by at least sharing our experience. It’s a very natural and understandable response when you think about...

Good tip, thanks for that!

I do believe I read it here somewhere though I have been reading and watching videos so much all over the place about the TSDZ2B that I could be wrong about that. It referred to the heads being very soft and rounding off and there is also the issue of dissimilar metals. That you haven't...

Thanks Alex, ...will do. I look forward to hearing from you and will also keep an eager eye on that channel for their review. If anyone else comes out with a review that you are aware of please do let us know. Regards, AJ
