Still thinking that's way more than the big easy has spec wise
Well yeah
The big easy has a shitty 250W bosch motor
with the proprietary bottom bracket you can never change
it also doesn't come with a 20Ah abttery
battery*
it's like a 14Ah 36v or 48v
So like a 750 watt rearhub would at least be better than that, lol
Well yeah
though being a mid drive, the bosch motor does have the benefit of being able to select lower gearings for hills
Given the Bosch's much higher peak output, it's closer to (perhaps a bit less than) the power of a TSDZ2.
Still a 750w nominal hub motor will have more power generally
though if we're comparing the TSDZ2
yeah
that is more comparable
you can find the TSDZ2 for like $350-$400
Not really. Bosch motors get up to the 600-800w range. A 750w hub isn't going to compare to a mid-drive of similar wattage, in terms of low-end torque and hill climbing ability.
That is true
If you're happy with bicycle speeds (as in, the speed you might see a trained cyclist ride in the same conditions), even a TSDZ2 will meet or exceed your expectations. It all depends on what the goal is.
SPEED DEMON
The way of the speed demon is CYCLONE. :P
Yeah, I'm not looking for a motorcycle. 25mph max
TSDZ2 should be a nice thing for you then
but for me
I would go for that dummy frame
👀
I'm still looking at it
Yep. A TSDZ2 will do 25mph on flat ground all day.
It'll slow right on down for steep hills, but as long as you've got appropriate gearing for the hill, it'll get you to the top.
For sure
but you can get a TSDZ2 with a 20Ah abttery
battery*
for like $750
I'm looking at comparable or better to the radwagon if that's a good reference
Radwagon has a 750w geared hub, if I recall?
If so, the TSDZ2 should do better on hills than a Radwagon.
Yp
Yep
I care more about the weight I can haul than the speed.
And tires quickly limit that
If you don't mind slowing to a crawl for a 10% incline while hauling cargo ('As long as it gets me to the top reliably, it's good.'), the TSDZ2 or the BBS02 are great choices.
The Cyclone is more 'I want to get up this 10% hill at 25mph with a full cargo load', moped-style.
Hm....well I admit the second does sound nice
Not what I originally was looking at though
For sure
You were originally looking at much weaker systems
and comparing it to a bosch system, the TSDZ2 is much closer, as NCC said
Still, for the price hard to argue. Looks hard to assemble
It isn't all that crazy
plus
most of the work on that frame is done for you
the bottom bracket is already removed from it
so you just slot the motor in underneath
I think you still need a bottom bracket tool to install the TSDZ2
but still, it's not that complex
it just slots right in
you screw the pedals in
and you're done
@StarTrak Nope you just need an allen key if the BB is already removed
Well there ya go then
Slots right in and the tool to tighten the lockring is included. No reason to torque it as much as on the BBS*, as it has the bolt to keep it in place
So uh
This is disheartening :|
They must not have softened the plastic enough whilst bending it
request for a new one
that is within your right
Yeah but
I ordered it like
Months ago
:|
So I’m kinda fukt now ya?
maybe
try to ask
if not, just silicone it
I’ll try asking
@Gruenbaum Do you know the em3 email
So I can just attach a pic
Or should I use the form
Dya think
they have a support forum
use that
Sucks fo have to do so many steps
yes
O we
L
if that happened to me I would shrug it off and put a piece of duck tape over the crack LOL
Shove some ramen and epoxy in it
or, new plan
eat the ramen
The update to this situation is that they're sending me a new case
and they said to just silicon seal it after
noice
Why u dont let your brother use your ebike
Luckily that was the only thing that broke
I agree
now which display to get next, a c965 (direct replacement) or a 850c
from Google Reviews
Unsure whether this is an electric bike or a gas bike kit
but this review is hilarious
it says "rear hub *exploded*"
