Brompton/Pendix conversion by Kinetics

I liked it a lot,at first - torque sensor,I gather, simplicity,fits any frame(even an old mezzo). But kinetics charge £1745 (that's much more than pendix's 1300 euro), and it's a 300w/h battery. You could buy a decent torque sensored cranked drive bike whole for that

Apologies for half hijacking a thread,but do anyone know of an affordable torque sensored crank drive kit? I have a well used but we'll loved old mezzo folder upgraded to Nexus 8 speed hub gear and had a fantasy of putting a very simple torque sensored crank drive on with minimal wiring so I could still get exercise but also do twenty hilly miles in an hour without breaking into a sweat. Many thanks,any advice appreciated

Strip out the kit and fit to the Mezzo - rebuild and sell the Brompton.

Tongsheng TSDZ2 seems to be the only after market TS kit available.

Many thanks, will Google for a review

Tongsheng TSDZ2 seems to be the only after market TS kit available.

Reviews are good and a 500w kit from Tongsheng on alien press is (postage free to UK) without battery £240 all in. Does anyone know of a suitable battery? Many thanks.

You need to give more details on which version you plan to get.

Many thanks, I was thinking of this model

The 500w option

On alien press is it a different version or may be just out of this world .

Spellchecker android aside, that is what I'm hoping!

Would it be rash to order it and simply connect two 5ah 6S lipo packs as used in rc (a guy on a review did this) with low voltage alarms? This could make for a £350 diy pedelec kit with torque sensor (if aliexpress actually sends it and the lipos don't blow up)
