I would feel like I hijacked this thread if it wasn't already so long... I mean, this is where I post this, right? A few things. Let me be very clear... I know I mess around A LOT here... but I do take some things seriously so I did quite a bit of legwork to get to the bottom of things here, and did my best to make sure this was accurate. This info is just me jabbing, not really a good format, or user friendly... Sometime ASAP someone will make a friendly 'overhead how to video' of how to open these up and do the upgrades real quick (xh 18 to throttle/brakes, add a headlight, and replace the gear)...

- I will share the programming software (80+MB .RAR) , and programming information (not very good from factory until I update), but use AT YOUR OWN RISK. The only reason to use it is to raise the RPM and POWER limit...

You will need to make your own programming cable.
- NO CONTROLLER DIFFERENCE IN VLDC-5/XH-18 DISPLAY - this was why I was scared to mess with it first. I don't know anything!!! hahah. the whole problem is retailers being stocked up with what they have, and wanting to sell that. That is what 'can't' translates to. It comes DOWN TO THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE THROTTLE/BRAKE CONNECTOR. MOQ 50. YEA! Then, what are you gonna do, split up the units? Its business - petty, but until the market eats up the rest of the old units... you better BUY DIRECT! Of course, as with the BBS, they are adding light connectors too now...
- I recommend getting a unit with the VLDC-5 display. These units come wired with 8 pins leading from the motor to the display, and then you connect the throttle and brakes directly to the display. Then, if you with to use an XH-18 display, just create a mini 'junction box' (or anything sort of split, really) to split off the lines for the throttle and brakes right before the display, since the XH-18 has no plugs for these accessories.
- I did what I could to let the manufacturer and retailers know what we want, but who knows... they say next will be xh18 with throttle,brakes,headlight, and headlight for the vldc5 model too... but no confirmation on anyone stocking the 48v18a for retail, or what wattage they will label it at
- Most of the available TSDZ2 units are already produced and sitting to be sold, so these need to clear out before any retailers are even thinking about getting the above, if they actually even go for it etc...
- MOST retailers WONT get the 48v18a BECAUSE IT IS NOT RECCOMENDED... you really need to change that gear etc... especially in the American market with heavy rider! hahahah
- THEY STILL NEED TO UPGRADE THEIR GEARS. (and then make a housing like FUTUREBIKE... honestly - that guy is doing it, upgraded gears and a housing)
- NO GOOD THROTTLE OR BRAKE OPTIONS (USE YOUR OWN)
- watch, tomorrow all the retailers get updated information =) hahahahah
