Decided to see what all the fuss was about wrt the TSDZ2, bought one, put it in a singlespeed 700c frame... Loved every moment of riding it and did about 600km over the Corona lockdown so decided to swap the motor into my hardtail mountain bike (2009 Genesis iOiD Alfine 8 ).
I love riding that now, apart from the fact that it feels really short, isn't very slack, and doesn't have rear suspension - this never bothered me in the past but now with the TSDZ2 giving me bionic legs, I kind of feel I would like something up the back to dampen things out.
So - dilemma... Buy a nice full sus 29er frame and convert it to a TSDZ2 drive, I would have to make a battery box, but I would still be able to enjoy the TSDZ2 motor and it's awesome open source firmware. This could also be a bit cheaper, especially as I have the motor and could probably find a half decent used 29er for about GBP1500
Or... buy a pre-made eBike... More expensive, but better mounted/bigger battery.
What would people suggest?
