Thank you Adrian. Very helpful 👍

I contacted ebird and they said I pay the tax and costs at delivery not by the seller

I would love to buy from the UK. I want a mid drive torque sensor TSDZ2, 100mm version. I can only find ebird on AliExpress or from USA. If you know a UK shop with this exact motor, I would be delighted.

Hi Guys. Has anybody from the UK recently bought a motor from China? During COVID, I bought a motor and paid the seller for the tax, collected automatically via PayPal I think. Things have changed. On a motor of say £300, I would expect to pay tax of just over £100. How is this collected and...

When I reassemble these things I like to put extra grease in all the old bearings. Is it ok to add grease to the one way locking bearing too?

Another update. I ordered two spindles from ebird. The link to the part they sent me was a bit dubious with no photo and no description. However, I ordered two, giving me a spare. They arrived in less than a week, apparently from a UK warehouse. Well done AliExpress 👍

Just for the record. Ebird on AliExpress do sell the 100mm spindles. They are not in their shop but you need to message them. £30 Inc pp and tax to UK. 9 weeks delivery.

Thank you. Interesting thought. Is it 48volt and have you tried open source software on it? You obviously like the Tongsheng, how much use has this had, and what sort of money are you looking for? I'm obviously interested, but a little cautious about the condition of the axle. Thanks for getting...

No not yet. I'm working on it. I found an engineer to make one and harden and temper it. £300 for two. I could get these without circlip grooves and shim against the pedal cranks. A good option I feel. Expensive. Almost worth buying a new motor. Eco Cycles sell them but are out of stock...

Thank you Elinx your a star. I will do the extra bearings too. That is cheap and can only help.

Great ideas and fantastic info here. Thanks to everyone for sharing. I've the same issue with 100mm original spindle broken on the drive side circlip groove. It failed after a minor soft jump and 3,500 miles of mixed use including steep mountainous trails. I'm 63kg and like to spin rather than...

Hi guys.. the main through spindle which carries the pedals has broken on my unit. See photo. Anybody know where I can get a replacement spindle? It's for the longer 100mm version. I've been unable to find anything I cannot even find a complete 100mm unit to replace it with. Many thanks

Interesting comments here guys. I have never seen a need for the brake sensors previously, but you make me think. I have begrudgingly grown to like the small run on of power in technical conditions, but that run on ripped my derailleur off when a piece of heather got stuck in there. Also, the...

Thanks for that. Yes I must try that out sometime soon.

Hi All A while since I have been here and it's great to see the same names still here. After 3500miles of tough tiding, I have a problem. Current speed reads zero and battery always shows one bar. Otherwise the motor works normally. I have a 52volt battery and use the simple 52volt...
