Maybe someday the bike industry will agree on some connector standards and this kind of problem will go away… #BikeTooter #EBikeConversion #BikeNite #Tongsheng #ElectrifyBike #WillTheBikeIndustryEverAgreeOnStandards (2/2)
They are also working on improving safety - they use XT90 power connectors and build their batteries with name-brand cells. I’m realistically hoping to get a couple of years of use from this kit before it dies. https://www.electrifybike.com/products/tsdz2b-osf-upgrade-motor-kit-250-750w #Cetma #EBikeConversion #ebike #CargoBike #Tongsheng #TSDZ2 (2/2)
Any #BikeTooter folks with #Tongsheng #TSDZ2 “Error 30” troubleshooting skills? I’ve been fighting with this for a few weeks. I get the error on three different displays, with two different display cables, and two speed sensors. The motor cuts out after about 30 seconds and the display turns off. All my searches on the many forums point to a failed controller. Is it time to buy another motor? #ebike #Error30
@Andres4NY What #display do you use with the #Tongsheng motor? Mine died recently so I can’t even turn the motor on any more, and finding the right display that will work with the 4 year old software on the motor seems to be a crap shoot. (The company I bought it from has gone out of business.)
Beautiful day for a ride on the cargo bike, but the Tongsheng motor’s control display kept shutting off and finally died. Off to eBay in search of a replacement… #cargoBike #Tongsheng #SW102 #ebike #Cetma
After riding 300 miles on the #Cetma to break in the #Tongsheng motor, I’ve switched back to my #Workcycles FR8 for everyday rides. The difference in comfort is astounding - the FR8 rolls along on a cushion of air. And being fully upright again means my wrists and shoulders are suddenly much, much happier. #BikeTooter #CargoBike #ebike
Finally got the battery for the #Tongsheng #ebike motor mounted where I want it. The cargo platform flexes a bit under the battery so I need to add some kind of additional support. Took the front box off for repainting. #CargoBike #ebikeConversion #BikeTooter
Here's what the #Tongsheng #TSDZ2 install ends up looking like on my #Cetma #Margo #CargoBike. I haven't cleaned up the zip ties yet because the battery is only temporary (I'm going to get a smaller one that fits better).
Instead of the standard anchor bracket, I screwed a chain tensioner into that anchor bolt hole (https://cycles.eco/collections/tsdz2-accessories-parts/products/chain-guide-for-tsdz2?variant=) because eccentric bottom bracket + chainstay. There's some foam protecting the frame in case the motor moves.
Rode around town testing the Tongsheng motor on the Cetma cargo bike. Did great tackling hills I would never ride without a motor. It was a chilly 28F but nice and sunny. #cargobike #tongsheng #tsdz2 #ebike #BikeTooter #Provincetown
Tons of progress today on the Tongsheng motor install on the Cetma cargo bike. Tuned the eccentric bottom bracket for better clearance of the motor, zip tied the speed sensor, and figured out which side of the chain tensioner the chain goes on! Put the cranks and pedals on and plugged everything together. Test rides were great fun (even though it started raining). #cargobike #ebike #BikeTooter #Tongsheng #TSDZ2
bike nerd stuff
I want to add a mid-drive motor (#Bafang or more likely #Tongsheng TSDZ2) to this #Cetma:
https://social.ridetrans.it/@Andres4NY/109468987375343649
It has an Enviolo/Nuvinci rear hub, and an #EccentricBottomBracket to tension the chain. I don't really want to switch away from the Nuvinci to a derailleur, but the motor will most certainly not permit the eccentric BB to move & will be replaced w/ an adapter.
Any else done this, and have a suggested chain tensioner model that will work w/ this kind of hub?
