    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    PSPower.com covered the metal gear under warranty, just paid $20 for DHL to Australia. They were going to cover postage as well but it would take a few weeks. Gave it a solid work out over the weekend, stair climbs and descents, rock gardens, jumps and some challenging climbs thrown in all on...

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Metal replacement gear arrived during the week and I installed it tonight. Just put a light smear of ordinary bearing grease on it, no plastic to worry about any more. To remove the blue gear I just tapped the shaft with a flat punch whilst holding the blue gear, came apart easily enough, made...

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Got the OK from PswPower to open it up. Mine came apart pretty easily, nothing too complex. Little wiggle and the motor came out easy enough too. Blue gear stripped a tooth as expected and PswPower have offered a replacement, so far they have been very helpful. I have asked for the metal...

    TSDZ2 Blue Gear opinions

    I have my fingers crossed that the brass upgrade will do the job, really like this kit but guess what you pay for it what you get. That said there are a few reports around of BB02's stripping a similar gear and those kits cost a quite a bit more.

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Pretty much always in Level 4 assist on road, on dirt tracks it rarely goes above 3. Been riding normal bikes for decades so always shift down out of habbit before I stop so i'm in an easier gear when starting off (guessing 14-15T on the rear sprocket) and only running a 34T front ring. Wen't...

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    We got our units from this supplier, they stock the metal replacement gear as well as the plastic. Hopefully mine will be covered under warranty. http://www.pswpower.com/peng/iview.asp?KeyID=dtpic-2017-84-G6X8.3RWAG

    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    Oh oh, stripped my blue gear today. Was able to ride home but sounded terrible, about to email the supplier for a replacement, will be asking for the metal gear I think, only 700 km on the unit :cry: Hopefully it hasn't wrecked the main gear....

    TSDZ2 Blue Gear opinions

    Yup, they are fragile. Just stripped mine today, had around 700km. It runs in parallel so your effort doesn't go through it.

    LiPo battery care and basic information

    Hi guys, I am running both my bikes on rc lipo packs but would really like an individual cell motiored LVC. I have been thinking about using rc lipo battery meters but they would have to be plugged in and un plugged after each ride if I am not mistaken. Any one know of an off the shelf LVC...

    Folding E-Bike

    Just a heads up. Most folding 20" bikes run a narrow 70mm front hub which means you will need a rear hub motor or be prepared to so some serious metal work to get the gap to 100mm. Derek

    Ping problem 36V 12ah 2.0 Bulging

    Another cell bites the dust. Repalced 2 100km ago now another has gone, looks like a neighbour to the one I replaced but will check tonight, I am guessing the swelling of the previous failures damaged the neighbouring cell, will pop the hood tonight and check. My pack came wrapped in heat...

    RC Lipo's

    Hi deanoseadog; Go lipo mate, I run a 44.4v (3x14.8v) 3800mah packs. Bought the cheapest I could find on ebay and they have done 1100 km already no problems, I haven't even had to balance charge yet as the cells have stayed within .01 of a volt. If you use deans plugs you can easily make a...

    LiPo batteries

    Hi wilscombe, Don't be to quick to give up on replacement LiPo's. I am running RC Lipos and they have been great. If your LIPO pack already includes a BMS and hopefully a temp sensor etc it should be pretty straight forward to just replace the cells. I bought the cheapest I could find on...

    Ping 2.0 Reports

    My pack is made up of single cells in series, yours will have groups of 3 cells in parallel which are then wired in series. The bms manages each group as a single cell I think. I suspect that is why mine showed up so quickly, any weak cells have no where to hide. Hope Ping starts selling...

    Ping 2.0 Reports

    jha07, I have been leaving the charger on over night as ping suggests to allow the cells to balance. Straight off the charger all cells are the same but after an hour that weaker cell shows up as a slightly lower voltage. With the bms its always the weakest cell that triggers the lvc, I...

    Ping 2.0 Reports

    Unfortunately it's middle men like Ping who seem to be trying to provide a good product and service that are going to get burnt. I'm sure the guy is running on a shoestring compared to western standards, I doub't he has factored in alot of extra to cover dud cells. I had to replace two of mine...

    Dead Ping Battery 48V 20AH

    I had two cells go bad in my v2 pack. Ping sent me 2 replacements cells and a single cell charger, I had to cover the $25us postage to australia. Its quite fiddly to swap out the cells with the hot glue securing the cells and all the sensor wires, but if you are handy with a soldering iron...

    Ping 2.0 Reports

    Hi jha07, You are not alone buddy, I am in the same boat with 2 suspect cells. Waiting for replacements from Ping at the moment. All symptoms sound the same, false peak by the weak cells then upto an hour of requent pulsing (on/off) by the charger as the BMS trys to balance the pack. Weak...

    Ping charger question

    Ping BMS update I have been happily charging my Ping pack until the charger stops pulsing and the green light stays on but I have discovered that is not the correct method. I have wondering about the lack of range compared to my LIPO pack so decided to check under the hood. I ran my pack...

    Voicecoil's red, fully rigid commuter

    Hi Voicecoils, I have 400 km up on my 20 bafang now, but my system is only 44.4 v and limited to 5.6 amps. I reckon your problems are two fold, first is wheel size and second is the current. Going 20" requires alot less torque to get moving than a 26" (I am guessing you stripped the gears on...

    Bafang geared brushless or a BMC?

    Hi Banmac, Bafang get a big thumbs up from me. I have put 400 km on mine to date with no problems at all. I run the 36v 20" version at 44.4v limited to 5.6 amps for our 200w rule. At the original 17 amp controller limit it would pull like a truck compared to my direct drive hub motor. Price...

    Small portable fanless charger for a 48v ping pack?

    That sounds like alot of heat Pete, might crack the case on my home charger and have a look if there is a spot for a heat sink.

    Small portable fanless charger for a 48v ping pack?

    Great to hear about the store and the charger Ping, look forward seeing all the goodies. Do you think it is OK to disconnect the fan in my current 2A charger? Ambient temp here in the office never gets above 25 C.
