    E-bikes are arguably worse than electric cars

    And it's all 'horses for courses'. I live 500m above my work and the most direct 10km route has serious 15 to 30% ramps on very poor surfaces... I dream of going this way but I need lower gears... my current one to one gear ratio, 500w motor and work ethic struggle at 20%. The next most direct...

    Sadly not interchangeable...

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    I've been impressed with the power for the size and weight of the motor. It is easily a match for all motors I've used, and it leaves my TSDZ2 for dust. And it has helped me up hills to KoM status for e-bikes... and we have some pretty big hub-drives calling themselves e-bikes here. It is a...

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    I've got the hardware to flash and the files but I haven't done it yet... I'm about to be seperated from my bike for 10 days so will flash when I get back. As a digital immigrant I find it all a bit bewildering so I like to have a clear path of time and space to do things like this.

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    My sketchy understanding is that it is not. Prepared to be wrong here but I was not game to try it from some things I've read. Be rally sad if it is because I have just cut up a wiring loom to directly feed the power from the battery. But I will see if I can find an answer

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    The settings I'm happy-ish with at the moment are based on Olek/Alex's with a bit of me thrown in "Speed and Power" Speed - What-ever Power - Level 1 = 20%, 2 = 40%, 3 = 60%, 4 = 80% and 5 = 100% "Controller" Eco max 8amps City max 15amps Sport max 19amps "PAS" Type - Low Startup Count - 1...

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    I've had a DM02 for about 10 days now, Tweaked the settings to suit me and I like this motor a lot. In the 10 days I've done 230kms and climbed over 3500m. Now that I am familiar with the settings menu, I have programmed 'City' mode to max at 15 amps and it is sufficient for all my climbing so...

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    When I get it I'll start recording my commutes on Strava and collate and compare experiences with other motors I've tried... I'll repeat myself often here, in the High Voltage discorse feed and in Pedelecs. Once I've put out the kind of information I'd like to see to reassure myself, I'll crawl...

    Probably best to watch the High Voltage Videos >, If by mountains your talking about sustained 5% to 8 % gradients over several kilometers, I reckon it probably would. If you're talking 15% to 25% gradients, probably not.

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    I was quoted US$316 for the motor and US$98 for postage, so AU$663 for the 68mm - 73mm complete motor kit with display, cranks, chain ring etc. If you get into the High Voltage Electric Light Vehicle Channel's Discord threads for DM01 or DM02 motors you'll find Olek. He seems to be keeping an...

    I hear you with there's been nothing on the market to beat the TSDZ2 until now, with the photon and DM02... I was about to buy a photon then the DMo2 caught my eye and was less pain on my aging hip pocket nerve. I also agree with your humble opinion, build it well, keep it open and provide...

    Anyone know about/tried TOSEVEN Mid Drive?

    Curious about the ToSeven offerings after having high hopes- then being woefully dissappointed with the TSDZ2, I joined the Discord thread of High Voltage Electric Light Vehicle channel from YouTube and got in touch with Alex/Olek. Alex is on the ToSeven payroll and a bit of a fixer / corrector...

    Gosh, after reading the to and fro of the Photon, I just hopped back on the fence.

    Thanks for the intro to TOSEVEN. I wrote to Ben @ Cap Rouge, an Australian e-bike battery and conversion kit retailer, with links to these videos, (and who I bought my TSDZ2 from) and low and behold, he is getting a few motors and gave me a reasonable price offer on the 48v/500w version for...

    All good points. I have a hub drive that works and is reliable but I love the torque sensing of the TSDZ2 and the ride feel and the easy switching between street and off-road mode with the OSF. As I have a reliable motor for my commuting I'll watch this thread and also the ToSeven reviews.
