Thanks for all the advice Peter. I note that the Decathlon bike is rear hub motor with torque-sensing control. I hadn't realised such a set-up existed. I can see that this would reduce strain on gears and chain while giving me that more intuitive torque-sensing assist that I'm used to. Any...

I suppose mid-motor with torque sensor is what I'm used to. I bought s Tongsheng mid motor and have fitted it to 3 different bikes now. I have ridden a cadence sensing bike and didn't like it at all. When starting off,and when toiling up hills at low revs - just when you need a lot of help...

No! North to South on easy, scenic bike paths or and roads.

Yes - all good points, and fully noted. So what would you recommend as a mid-drive, torque-sensing hybrid bike for a ride across France on cycle tracks and back roads? Don't need suspension. Budget of £2000 max, but very happy to pay less.

Hi. I'm planning north to south France trip. Hopefully, mainly on cycle paths, but will also include roads. I'm looking for a mid-drive, torque-sensing hybrid. Don't need suspension. Max budget is £2000, but happy to pay less. Current bike is a Forme Curbar mountain bike to which I added the...

Anybody...?

Similar problem here. left side (non-drive side) crank keeps coming loose on my Tongsheng ebike conversion. First, I get a ticking noise that quickly becomes a knock. Tightening the crank bolt seems to solve the problem for a short while, but then it recurs. I worried that I'll damage the motor...

BINGO!! Ha! Following @Sturmey's advice, I checked the 6-pin connector between the motor and the battery, and found a bent pin. Some tweezers and a some swearing straightened it out, and I very carefully pushed the connector back together, making sure it went home all the way. Quick test ride...

Yesterday, having transferred the Tongsheng to my new bike, I checked the configuration of the VLCD5 LCD display. I got to the power setting - I think it's setting number 6 - and had no idea what value to set it at. Default appears to be 16. Would changing this alter the power/assist delivery...

The whole kit worked perfectly on a previous mountain bike without the speed sensor. All I've done is transferred everything to a new bike.

Thinking about it, and reading others' posts about throttles, I don't think this will cure my problem. If I select the lowest level of assist, the bike feels very fast and perky. The motor cuts out when I stop pedalling, but kicks straight back in again the moment I start pedalling, even if I'm...

Hi Folks, I did have my Tongsheng TSDZ2 up for sale, but I've kept it and installed it on a new mountain bike. I bought a nearly new Forme Curbar 2 locally for next to nothing, and put the motor on. Third time I've installed this motor. Key learning points: 1. Internal cable routing that...

Anybody have any experience of these, please? https://greenhybridbikes.co.uk/products/mtb-mountain-e-bike-g-hybrid-jason-mid-motor-27-5-wheel-36v-battery-7-speed-black

Thank you - that's all very helpful.

Hi everybody, I've moved my Tongsheng mid-drive motor from my ageing MTB to my ageing Specialized Sirrus Elite hybrid/road bike, with carbon front forks and rim brakes. First impressions are of an unhappy marriage. Riding on the road, the bike is twitchy, crashy over grids and potholes, and...
