Product Information

Furthermore, the motor, which provides a maximum torque of more than 160N.m is virtually silent and easy to install. 12 3000w Mid Drive Kit

Once that's done, we do the real-world testing, judging the range, the ease of use and the durability of the product in question. The Pendix eDrive 300 is a torque-sensing mid-drive E-bike kit that is on the higher tier when it comes to pricing but fits most bikes and is installed by a dealer. Cheap Mid Drive Ebike Kit The BBSHD is a 1000-watt beast of a motor. It is about 3.5lbs heavier than the BBS02 and delivers a peak power of over 1500 watts. Although weighing in at about 13lbs, this motor is super silent and has a massive torque of 160Nm. There are small cars with the same amount of torque.

For the Dahon Briza - I have differerent recomendation - just say "NO" (at least when TSDZ2 is concerned). Ground clearance. CYC has better clearance, especially on bikes with curved downtubes where Bafang mid-drives are forced to hang straight down. With CYC, you can move the controller and snug the motor against the downtube. The motor can even rotate inside the triangle when the geometry allows. The 1000W Bafang BBSHD mid-drive E-bike kit will top out at a 1500W peak and works with fat bikes. Bafang 250w Mid Drive Kit

Apart from the e-brake functionality, the displays all provide the same functionality. So your choice should depend on personal esthetic preference. I personally prefer the VLCD6 and XH-18 over the VLDC5 because of their size. The VLCD5 display is absolutely huge, it’s a bit overkill in my opinion. The VLDC5 and XH-18 are really discrete and display the exact same information. But if you absolutely want the e-brakes then you will still have to go with the VLDC5. Chainring, e-brakes and throttle options Chainring: Unfortunately I have experienced this exact same problem, but with Bafang. I also needed to send in the controller for repair, but I had cut the battery wires as well. They then also told me that I voided my warranty, so they wouldn’t repair it. Also because the pedal sensing is built into the motor unit and it is sensing the torque you put in through the pedals, it is very good at identifying when you need that assistance and blending it in smoothly. Something you don’t get with a standard pedal sensor which generally is either off or on. Value and ConclusionsI did have a few minor gripes. The instructions could have covered the entire build, not just fitting the motor. The design of the display remote meant I found it difficult to select the information button without accidentally changing the assistance level and I noticed, if you accidentally have your foot on the pedal when you turn the unit on, it seems to mis-calibrate its torque sensitivity and you end up with little or no assistance. The Tongsheng TSDZ2 motor is available at different power levels. At a voltage of 36V, the options are: 250W, 350W, and 500W. At a voltage of 48V, the options are: 500W and 750W. While a more expensive mid-drive E-bike kit is in greater demand because of its extensive features, there are those who would be satisfied with a balance of features and price. If a conversion kit is too tough to install, it will cost you more as you seek thehelp of a professional. Therefore, with our testing, we also spend time fitting the kit to the bike in the first place, judging how long it takes and how intuitive it is.

With the heavier Pinnacle on maximum assist (and on draggy routes) we were getting slightly under the 30km for the Max battery. As with all e-bike batteries, range depends on the terrain, weight of bike and level of assist. As said in the display section, e-brakes are only available if you choose the VLCD5 display. So if you need them, choose the VLCD5 display. I think that e-brakes are not as essential with the Tongsheng TSDZ2, since the pedal assist will almost immediately stop if you stop pedaling. But still, e-brakes will provide some added safety. If you choose not to install them, you will also have less wiring managing to do. So whether or not you will need them will depend on what you value more: convenience or a bit of added safety. Like the Bafang mid-drive system below, the TongSheng offers the same benefits of compatibility with a wide range of bike designs and a high torque for steep hills and off-road terrain. However, the TongSheng mid-drive does manage to be a little lighter than the Bafang for approximately the same power.

Mid-drive Motors vs. Hub Motors

Very soon, CYC will release the X12 controller for the X1 Pro, increasing the power to 5000 watts. To give you an idea of the battery required for that much power, you would need a 100 amp 52-volt battery or a 70 amp 72-volt battery to achieve 5000 watts. Those batteries will be huge if you also want some range. For 5000 watts, we only have one 72v 80A 12AH battery, which is limited in range unless you are not pulling near that many watts. At 864 watt-hours, it is still has a respectable capacity as ebike batteries go, but if you pull 5000 watts continuously, it will completely drain in less than 10 minutes. Best to ride it like a sports car and use that power sparingly for bursts of speed when you need it. But is an e-bike worth it,? As the best ebike conversion kits promise to add power to an 'analogue' bike for a lot less than a full ebike, it's an easy, cheaper way to get an electric boost. OSF performs very well right out of the box. Still, suppose you want to make adjustments like changing the power performance on each level or increasing the torque sensitivity. In that case, OSF gives you many configuration options to make it exactly how you want it. I may say that I am in the same boat (my wife also has knee problem, and we also decided to use Dahon Briza + TSDZ2 350W motor). Now about the motor - Last year I put 750W TSDZ2 on my city bike and I don't feel it is anemic. With 8-speed casette I can climb the steepest hils with ease, and I am not exactly lightweight myself (about 105 kg). On flat terrain, when derestricted, it will go a bit over 40 km/h, but it will require some effort on the rider as well. Optimal cruise speed is about 30-35 km/h, with minimal effort from the rider.
