Hi Art. Sounds like a good plan. I purchased the motor and a battery pack that had incompatible connectors. It was easy to get some new connectors and fix that problem, even though I'm sloppy and inexperienced with that stuff. I thought the connectors on the battery were better than those on...

HI RTIII- I got the same motor from auto-ebike about 1 month ago. Regarding the chainwheel- I just have the one that came attached to motor, and it seems just fine. Give it a try before you add a second one. I didn't go for the throttle.

"yes it is a red baron artwork." Well, then I stand corrected. Pardon me. I see 20+ million dead civilians when I see that symbolism [blood and metal]

Yep, it a Nazi cross. Please remove the photo from the posting, or the forum moderators/administrators will be involved.

Nice paint job, but ain't that Nazi symbolism?

The TDZ2 power output is very good for my use. I want enough power to help get me up some steep hills that would have prevented me form going on a particular path, and some assist on medium grades as well. But I didn't want a motor scooter, rather just some exercise assist for the terrain...

Hi Norton, I pulled the trigger on this unit about a month ago. Just got back from a 5 mile ride all along some hills. The torque sensing is the paramount feature in my book (beyond the basics like power and reliability). So far so good, and the torque sensing makes this fairly seamless...

Itchyfoot- got any photos of your mount? That may help.

I purchased a TSDZ2 48v 500W motor and a 48V 14.5Ah Frame Panasonic ebike battery pack from Auto-ebike from china direct - http://www.auto-ebike.com/ First my feedback on the purchase- it took just over 3 weeks to receive both items. They arrived in excellent condition despite poor boxing. No...

Hi elektrikflo- I don't know of a way to change the torque programming, but the handlebar controller gives you adjustable 4 levels of assist. Level 3 and 4 can really jack you up a steep hill with ease. For general medium grades, I suspect most people will end up using level 1 or 2 of assist.

I just purchased, received and installed the 48v TSDZ2 motor. I will post a full report shortly, but my first impression of the performance is A+. Powerful, quiet, and excellent torque control operation- seamless with my peddling. Going out for a more sustained ride today.

here is a German company with Higo connectors- https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/index.php/en/connectors/higo

I'm working on installing this motor and ran into a conflict- the guide for the rear derailleur blocks me sliding the motor into the bottom bracket. Anyone else run into this issue? Thanks.

I came upon the following note on a forum for recumbent trikes regarding this motor, dated 3/20/17 [http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/archive/index.php?t-127860.html] "We have now heard from Tongshen, the maker of the TSDZ2 drive, that they have a throttle controlled version. It is...
