In the market for a 2nd mid drive motor, already have a BBS01 36v 350W that I'm very happy with. Have 36v batteries, so would have to run the 36v TSDZ2.
My current BBS01 moved to and would be used for a MTB I have and mainly used off road.
The new motor would go onto my Boardman MX Comp touring/commuting bike (the bike that currently has the BBS01)
Would be opting for a UK legal BBS01 250w and limiting the speed to 15.5mph, likewise with the TSDZ2.
I have 2 x 17.5ah Hailong 36v batteries and enjoy day rides, with the goal of 100 miles range using both batteries. I can achieve 80 miles with my current BBS01 on assist 3-4 (of 9), using about 5-7a current when under assist (approx 200w)
Use to a torque sensor (with my Carrera Crossfire-e bike, now not ridden much), but also like the fun of the cadence system of the Bafang at times.
The current Bafang has been reliable, no issues in 2700 miles so far in the last year or so. I have some worries around the reliability reported with the TSDZ2
With the limitation of the 36v batteries I have, what would you guys recommend, stick with what I know and love or move to the TSDZ2 for better range and a more natural riding experience ?
Cheers
