I've decided to upgrade my Winther Kangaroo Luxe Cargo bike with a TSDZ2 250W 36V coaster brake model with a 48V battery and XH18 display. I intend to flash it with emmebrusas 20.1c later on. I have a couple of questions and doubts which I was hoping anybody could help me with:

  1. Does anybody know of an upgrade to the Winther Kangaroo Luxe with a TSDZ2?
  • Originally I had planned to install the 350W motor but that would mean it wasn't road legal in Denmark. I have read that the only difference between the different models (250W, 350W, 500W) is a setting and nothing to do with any electrical components, is that correct?
    In that case i could buy the 250W and upgrade if desired.
  • I have read on a forum that it's best to combine the 36V motor with a 48V battery as that gives it more power, is that correct?
  • Does it make sense to fit it with a hand break sensor since i have a coaster brake on it? It's a hydraulic brake. Is it even possible with the XH18?
  • The battery would be placed app. 1,5m from the motor, that shouldn't be a problem correct?
  • I would like to hear if anybody sees an issue with mounting it on the frame? I'll attach some pictures.
    Can anybody confirm that emmebrusas OSF works with a coaster brake motor?

I appreciate all the feedback and advice I can get :)

Judging from the images, you may have problems with that frame. I had installed it on the Dahon Briza, that is somewhat similar to your bike (but with some significant differences). I had to cut some parts of the frame (luckily, those were parts of the overhangs so it did not affect the structural integrity). If you are interested, you can find the whole story here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/experience-with-tongsheng-36v-350w-mid-drive-kit-anyone.32357/page-2

Bottom line: in such case of non-standard frame, try to find an actual tsdz2 motor and try it in place, that is the only way to be sure.
