    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Okay, so after riding 200 miles on a standard setup (48v 500w with VLCD5 screen) I have decided to experiment with the Open Source Firmware. The standard performance is more than adequate and with a 14.5Ah battery I have been managing 60 miles on a full charge. On the other hand the drive is not...

    Tesla announce a major battery advance

    Love them or loath them, Tesla have truly shaken things up and make a mockery of the naysayers. Good on them I say.

    Tongsheng TSDZ3H Anyone tried?

    Ah gotcha. Yes have seen a Bafang in the same style. Prob a good option for replacing a Bosch or Shimano setup that may be beyond economical repair?

    Help! Bottom bracket nut loosening on Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Peter, it's the rear mount I am referring to. That is the one that done properly can take all the rotational stress away from the M33 nut as it is furthest away from the centre of rotation, providing of course it is a rigid frame with chainstays.

    Help! Bottom bracket nut loosening on Tongsheng TSDZ2

    I strongly suspect the poor design of the anti rotation/torque reaction mount is the root cause of the M33 nut coming loose. One bicycle frame is different to another and coming up with a one fits all solution is a quite the task. I wouldn't be happy with having to tighten the M33 regularly at...

    Ladies ebike conversion and battery location

    R welcome. You could mount it as low down the tube as she is comfortable with for stepping through. She can work that out better for you when the bike is on its wheels. Am sure Whoosh will give you battery dimensions if you wish to do a mock up before deciding 100% on a HL Battery. Re the space...

    Ladies ebike conversion and battery location

    The top tube. Yes, she will have to consciously steer her foot through the gap for the first few times but then it becomes second nature. Most of the weight is still lower down than on a rack mounted battery and I have experienced no ill effect to the handling on my bicycle. The only advice I...

    TSDZ2 wrench

    There is a thread a few posts lower down touching on this. Looks like Bafang nuts are the same thread - m33 - https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bottom-bracket-nut-loosening-on-tongsheng-tsdz2.37273/post-581390 An option might be to buy a Bafang spanner & nuts.

    Lighting board for rear carrier

    Not had a carrier in quite a long time. I just used to hang the bicycles first, then sit the trailer board atop the hangers then tie it through the bicycle frames - looping the rope inboard of the lights to keep it in position. Have just googled and found that Halfords sell a lighting board for...
