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
|
üëÄ
|
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*"
