For what its worth my advice would be to try the version of the software that works with the stock display first. The process is pretty simple and you do not have to bother with changing leads etc. If you get on OK with that and like the result then you can change to the version with alternative...

Flashing the controller is a separate operation from flashing the display. Just so you are aware of all the options there is a branch of the software that allows you to use the existing stock VCLD5(6) unmodified meaning that you only have to flash the controller. I think performance is the same...

10 cms is too long, I made the same mistake. try to get them as short as you can 2-3 cms say

There are a couple of possibilities. Have you connected the reset lead ? I found mine worked best with the reset line not connected. It is really important that the leads to between the plug and dongle are as short as possible . It is also possible that the dongle is faulty, if you run the...

Just noticed this thread https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/tsdz2-motor-casing-cracked.41831/#post-624976 Might be worth asking if it was mounted with the frame touching the down tube

You will definitely have problems if you don't do something. I don't see any problem with what you have done (rotating the motor clockwise and allowing the casing to rest on the downtube) and am sure I have seen other examples of that fixing. I find that even when fixed the locking ring can...

Yes I believe that to be so, but like I said I find the user interface for parameter setting impossible to use so always resort to re-flashing the unit.

Hi, In theory you can change from the display and the procedure is detailed in the software display manual. In practice I found this to be impossible to follow and hence re-flashed the unit. I have since reduced the assistance on level 1 and 2 as I am trying to improve my fitness and pedal a bit...

The tsdz2 control system does not simulate torque it measures it and provides an assistance proportional to the measured torque. As I understand it (and am open to correction) "torque simulation" is a term applied to controllers that control the current at particular power settings, thus...

Hi, There is a version of the software that uses the stock VCL5 display. I have used it and it works pretty well. Software and details are here https://github.com/emmebrusa/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike-1/wiki. There is a great thread on the subject that describes in great detail how to go about it...

Got the dreaded E02 torque sensor error on the Elephant Bike. I disconnected and re-connected the battery and the error went away but the motor did not run So.... I tried cadence mode in the hope it would ignore the sensor. Such was the case and it is working pretty well. Not sure that I don't...

Hi, My impression is that there is a modest increase in power but it is delivered in a smoother and more usable way. As regards temperature you can fit a temperature sensor and this should give a measure of protection but requires some hardware changes and you will loose the throttle function...

I tried it this afternoon. It seems to deliver power more smoothly particularly at low pedal pressure. The improvements are incremental rather than ground breaking but worth the effort. I noticed from the change log that things changed 6 days ago so will probably have to repeat the exercise...

Hi, I have only used the default values. Only suggestions I can make are: Try going back to the default settings and go from there Make sure you have not set low values for the max power or max current I guess these might limit the power assist in the higher modes. Tim

Hi, You could try power mode. I use this and it seems to function like the normal software but with better assist at lower cadence. It is smooth and controllable. There is a new version of the software out. This has a hybrid mode a combination of torque and cadence modes. I have not tried it...

Hi, I am still using the previous version of the software but am about to make the change. I have found the data display virtually impenetrable for additional parameters. From my reading of the manual the software is only intended for operation with the original display. The additional...

Hi, One possible cause, what is the speedo reading ? sometimes when the sensor is not properly positioned they read a speed over the assist limit and turn the motor off.

You might find the connectors you need here https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/index.php/en/ If you need to solder connections but don't like soldering I have used these self-soldering links and have found them very good...

The display manual calls it the "Power adjustment Selection". I have always assumed it is max current but the range seems to be 6 - 35 with a default of 25 ( mine was set to 16) so unlikely to be current directly but it should alter the power delivered. Give it a go with a small increment and...

Hi, I am not 100% certain but I think the controller does use the speed input, as well as torque, to compute the amount of assist needed. If so it may well work better with the sensor connected but from your experience it works well enough without it. Of course the speed limit will not be...
