Thanks for this video, I am orientating towards an electric bike DIY project. Fun to think that a guy in Texas is having the same thoughts about bikes as a dude in the Netherlands!
Don't get this kit. Spend 40 euro more for the tsdz8. Improved mechanical design so no more reliability issues with spindle's breaking Improved thermal design, able to handle the heat without a cooling modification 750w rated, close to 1200w peak, torque sensor mid drive I didn't wait, but once you start installing open source firmware, cooling kit and bearing mods it's not worth the 40 euro savings. Ow and btw, since you already have this one, don't skimp on OSF. You don't need that 30 euro programming cable, the OSF wiki has an excellent article covering how to use the cables which come with your ST-Link V2 programmer you need to buy ( it's really cheap don't worry ).
@@MarvinWestmaas cool thanks for the info this was made back in may I don’t temper seeing the kit your refering to back then but I am glad your bringing in up now thanks
I prefer the Tongsheng mid motor for off roading because of the torque sensor drive. I've two bikes that I've built and rode with this motor for probably 5 years. The wires to the controller are the weak point because they are tiny and brittle. I've repaired and/or replaced several handlebar controllers because these wires broke. I use the small controller that goes on the left side of the handlebar. I wire a voltmeter in to watch my battery voltage... However, I also built a fat bike with the Bafang BBSHD mid motor. It has way more power but is more suited for riding on the road or at the beach. I also can "ghost pedal" the Bafang to get to the max speed, because it uses a cadence/wheel sensor. Between the two motors, I find that I hardly ever ride the Bafang, because I don't do much road riding...If I was riding to work though, I would definitely use the Bafang.
if you want to upgrade a cyc photon has a torque sensor(similar to your TDSZ2b) 750w motor and ranges from 36v-52v batteries. You can always upgrade to 52v for more speed. Research the shimano nexus 5speed inter gear hub meant for ebikes(respoke it to your rim), and you'll have the perfect middrive ebike. Only think the motor itself is it's $950. Even so, you already have a battery. That is my dream bike but im looking into your motor for price and just to get into it and upgrade as I go.
Tongshen tsdz8 ( 8 not 2 ) is that, but much cheaper. 759w rated, 1200w peak. And 40 euro more as the 500w tsdz2(b) The 'perfect middrive ebike' depends on what you do with it. I don't recommend riding trails with a hub gear, it's not a great experience ( same as hub motors ). Also, my perfect mid drive ebike would also have a beltdrive instead of a chain.

Ahh yea I am surprised too but they are so much fun at 30 mph or 50kph I think that’s right lol have a great day

Awsome thanks for the info I need to check out the bfang too then
Thanks for sharing.

Qual a velocidade máxima no acelerador ?
Obrigado e boa tarde !
How well does it do one hills?
If you put a motor much larger the gears in the hub would be destroyed.
