Hi all,
so I have the tongsheng TSDZ2, 48v 500w with a 48v 17.5ah battery.
I am using it to pull a kids bike trailer fairly full of watersports equipment, it probably weighs about 25kg including the trailer, I need it on the highest level of assist.
On the flat the motor is getting slightly warm but not too bad.
However if I go up a hill, or have a strong headwind, when I touch the casing it is hot, not so hot I can't touch it, probably about 40 - 50 degrees.
I appreciate there is a point at which these motors overheat but wondering what that point is, if it isn't so hot you can hold the casing without burning yourself is that OK?
My usual route is 90% flat so it only reaches that temp for about 5 mins at the end.
Any advice as to whether I am heading for a disaster or if this level of heat is OK would be fantastic.
Many thanks
Neil
