You wont get the same range as using 2 batteries in parallel. The faster you discharge a battery, the lower percentage of it's rated capacity you can get from it. Putting the 2 batteries in parallel halves the discharge rate. Many batteries have their capacities rated at a 10hr discharge, so if...

I removed the bolt on the left crank and noticed there was no Loctite on it, so I cleaned it, applied blue Loctite, and did it up as hard as I could. Left it for a day to cure, then did a 10km test drive today and it hasn't loosened yet. If that was the problem I am releaved as I really didn't...

Leave the controller alone! Open up the batteries and solder on some connectors you can attach to a splitter. Remember to charge the batteries separately whilst disconnected from each other, else you risk cell imbalance.

When I run 2 batteries, I just use an XT60 splitter cable which has 2 male and one female connectors, and plug both batteries into it. First I make sure both batteries are charged up to exactly the same voltage so I don't have one trying to charge the other at a great current causing damage...

TSDZ2 are quite heavy and need a fair bit of maintenance and spare parts compared to a hub motor, I have one, and that's why I was looking at this thread to see if there are better less maintenance options. I basically use the eBike to do grocery shopping, so I figure a 250w front hub motor...

So how do you make a KT display? Surely they start of as something else and are turned into a KT display, or is it purely a KT controller configuration?

I really like the XH18 mini color display that is used on the TSDZ2. Does anyone here know how to wire up an XH18 onto a KT controller?

I have a TSDZ2 which I bought last year, after about 900km of riding a ratcheting noise start to develop during the power stroke of the left pedal, upon inspection the crank arm bolt was a bit loose, I tightened it, and after about 5-10km the noise came back and it had come loose again, a bit...

I have a TSDZ2 36v 350W version with a XH-18 display. What parts do I need to replace to convert it to a 48v setup?

I have a tsdz2 36v 350W version about 1,000kms on it going fine so far. I bought 2 different 36v 10Ah battery packs for it so I could have one on charge whilst riding with the other. One pack is 18650 10s4p https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/124474635082 The other is 21700 10s2p...

Drop bars on a cargo bike, never seen that before. Most of your battery burn will be trying to go fast up hills, nothing that aero is going to fix. Go a few mph slower and you will save a heap of battery. If you want to know how much try this simulator. https://www.ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html

Can anyone tell me where to get handlebars like the one used on the Mongoose Envoy? First glance I thought they were a Jones H bar or a Origin8 Strongbow, but then I realized the mounting was such that you can tilt them up an down to change the rise/reach easily which looks perfect for my...

Thanks, I ordered a pair of rims from Classic Cycle, it was 48euros shipping, which is a lot, but I am struggling to get wide rims in Australia. Lots of fat bike rims here, but little in between. eg, the Australian Alexrims distributor only brings in up to 23mm they don't even have the MD40 in...

The DH rims looks good, that reseller doesn't do international shipping. I am in Australia. Do you know anyone else that sells them?

I am looking at building up some 24" x 3" wheels, seems to be a reasonable number of tires still around in that size. Not sure what rims to use, I have to go 32H that's the only limit. Can anyone suggest some appropriate rims?
