Hi, forum! I´m from Galicia, and i´m thinking of install a Tongssheng Tsdz2B on my 90´s steel mtb. I have some cuestions , so i´ll thank you for any piece of advice!
I'll use the bike for running errands, but i'll involve some long, steady uphill rides (5 kms/250mts high)
1.- shoud i get the 500 w or any of the other ones (350/250) will be enough?
2.- Is the throttle neccesary or advisable?
3.- I prefer the small displays, do all of them work well?

Thanks in advance, members!

If you have a lot of power (500w), you can always select a lower power setting. If your motor doesn't have enough (250w), there's nothing you can do. My advice then is always to get the highest power that your laws allow you to have, which is 250w in the EU.

Having a throttle is always better than not having one. EU laws do not allow a throttle to work when you're not pedalling, except when your speed is below 6km/hr. I'm not sure, but I don't think that the throttle can be configured to comply with EU laws, even with the open source firmware.

All displays work, but sometimes are not user-friendly. It's difficult to work the SW102 when wearing gloves.
