Thanks for the input on the chainrings folks. Over on the recumbent forum I frequent I know several of those folks have tried double chainrings and the derailleur approach generally means flat-mount with some spacers which works well enough. So far I have a week of use and with the stock 42T...

If you want to run two chainrings on a TSDZ2B will both rings install onto the existing spider that is part of the motor or does one need to purchase an adapter? I've seen some adapters for both 130BCD and 104BCD but it's unclear if these adapters will allow installation of two chainrings or...

I have not. I bought a TSDZ2B with OSF loaded that I'll be installing on my new TerraTrike All Terrain. For now I'm keeping the BBSHD and will also be keeping the big EM3ev triangle pack battery. The BBSHD will get swapped over to my wife's Trident Spike trike (same make/model of trike I've been...

So I already have the BBSHD and I know of it's advantages in heat dissipation and torque over the BBS02, however I'm looking for a lighter weight motor. Since I can't afford a Cyc motor (or at least not in the budget right now), I had been looking at TSDZ2B for a lighter motor with bonus torque...

I want to put a TSDZ2B on my TerraTrike All Terrain recumbent trike and was wondering if anyone knew if the this current iteration has a display and stock firmware that will recognize full voltage on a 52v battery? Or, would I need to flash the open source firmware onto a TSDZ2B stock motor? I...

Just that quick question basically. I'm contemplating getting the TSDZ2B to use with my new smaller EM3EV Super Shark 52v battery - mainly for torque sensing, lower wattage, and lower gross weight of motor. I'm using the BBSHD on a tadpole trike now and it's really kind of overkill. Originally...

Thanks Amberwolf. I must've read that passage at least a couple times but it didn't register that the setting was amps or watts. I think watts is probably a more useful setting. I don't still have that Cycle Analyst, unfortunately. However, I had been planning on getting another one and...

Okay, so I have a "48v" BBSHD that I purchased a few years ago from EM3EV with a 52v triangle pack. The pack is 17Ah and it was charged to 90% before I took it out for the first test ride, which is when I snapped the photos I've attached. On the display I guess I have it configured to show the...

I've had a couple rides now on the electrified trike, and have found that just the usual pause before shifting is adequate enough, however I find that I must wait a half second longer for the chainring to stop spinning, since unlike pedaling without the mid-drive, *with* the mid-drive the...

Amberwolf - When I first got the battery I almost always charged it to 100 percent to get the maximum range available and even though I knew that charging to 80 or 90 percent would give longer life via more recharge cycles. I justified that with logic that even though I was charging to 100...

The thing that makes me wonder is what the performance of this battery is going to be once I start using it again. It's effectively been at an 80-90 percent storage charge for nearly two years now. When I fired up my BBSHD a few times recently as I'm installing it on this new trike, plugging in...

I want to say the pack is something like 18 Ah? That's what I remember. The more I thought about, the more it just seems like making it work as-is, is currently the best option. Use it until it's used-up and buy a new pack. It's just going to be a LOT more hassle trying to devise and fabricate a...

Specifically what I have is a an EM3EV triangle pack that I purchased back in probably mid-2016 if I had to guess. It actually doesn't have a lot of use on it despite being that old. In fact, the 2 1/2 years it's not been in use at all and all I have done is regularly put a charger on it at the...

So, I've got a BBSHD and in the past I've used it on a cargo bike along with an Alfine 8 speed hub, and NO shift sensor. I learned early on with Alfine hubs that you pause when shifting and I found that the momentary pause before shifting was enough to cut off the BBSHD anyway, so no shift...

I was able to get a full set of gaskets for my BBSHD (both paper and rubber), as well as some other parts from California EBike. I did have to buy a second nylon gear (didn't actually need it but swapped it out anyway), from a seller off Amazon. The only thing I've had trouble finding was a...
