hi everyone. i read a lot of the posts in this thread but i still need some help for my build. i have a cannondale prestige rohloff bike and want to transform it to e-bike. i prefer the tsdz2 way because i dont want to skip pedaling. i didnt understand what build is better. 36v motor with 48 battery? or 48v motor with 48v battery. i will try the opensource firmware definitely. so can somebody give me the pros and cons of either builds? thanks in advance.
There are a lot of posts, but the basic idea is simple: The stock voltages are best for most people, only riders with a higher than average pedal cadence (>90rpm) should consider a non-stock setup.
If your natural pedal cadence is 90 rpm or lower there is nothing to consider. Buy 48V and run it at 48V. If it is higher than 90 rpm you might want a custom setup.
So get on your bike, get into your natural groove, and count how many pedal revolutions you make in a minute.
I have a high-rise cadence around 90. The stock setup is fine.
