Can only hope they are truthful about their advertisement.

I started looking at the TenShong because I really like the idea of torque sensing and pedal assist. More natural feel more of a real assist. Keeps the bike lighter and more nimble but also let's it feel more like a normal bike. All these positive attributes are really important to me. The big hurdle I couldn't get over was I didn't think it would be strong enough to haul me up. I think with a 52v battery folks have been pushing it to 1000w which would probably be just fine. A bit of fear kicked in since I already burned out my BMC rear hub motor at 1200w. And that's how I made my decision. If Tenshong had a more powerful option I would have probably gone in that direction.
For me getting an ebike is about getting my phat butt up the hill without having to get off and walk BUT more importantly it's about exercise. Unfortunately most of the trails are I ride I half to get off and walk a little. It sounds like I may have to adjust the BBSHD to allow me to work a little harder so I get that good workout and at the same time not having to get off and walk. If it's not so natural that's a consession im willing to make.
Thx I'll look it up? Did you have to apply any additional grease or have to waterproof anything? I was gonna use a little dialelectric grease on the connectors and some heat shrink.furcifer said:geosped said:So I went with the BBSHD and 52v 17.5 ah triangle pack.

Good choice. The BBSHD gets my fat ass up the hill and allows me to peddle when I want. It's all controlled through the software. Do the shunt mod, I'm doing a 48A controller but 45A is stable from my experience. Don't rely on the motor, give it help and you won't have a problem. I suggest making a cork gasket for the controller because the factory silicone one is a joke.

Is the gear switching sensor a must for mountain biking.

1) Triangle battery fits per template great but the battery pack they use SUCKS. It's also really big. It's like a totally generic bag. It would have been awesome if they put a small access port or zipper so you can QUICKLY access the charging port and or power button.
Wasn't longer stator with procentually less unused wire loops more efficient? Grin Technologies said that Bbs02 has seemingly more peak power for it's weight only compared to BBSHD.bbshd = bbs03
somewhat more rugged
hd about 3lbs heavier than 02
hd motor seemingly less efficient windings
hd likely hold up better off roading
can be found in wider BB spacing too
fat tire bikes hmm
