Sorry for the delayed reply. I got it working. I used a clamp-on to direct mount adapter from Problem Solvers. The mech I used is a dual pull, direct mount, for triple chainrings. Since I am only using it on a double chainring, the high limit screw was too short. I replaced this screw with a...

I am trying to install a front mech on my TSDZ2, but I need help choosing components. I've tried 3 mechs already, so I'm a tad confused. I had this working before, but at some point I lost the mech. I want to use a direct mount/braze on front mech, and an adapter (my bike is only designed for...

Further info: I am using the 860c display. The firmware version is 1.0.0. I have enabled "street mode" in the configurations. I have set throttle to be "enabled" in Street Mode. There is still no response from the throttle, whether the word "assist" is in orange or in white.

I have installed a TSD2 on my recumbent with open source firmware, but the throttle does not work. When I twist the throttle, nothing happens. The motor is the 8 pin version, from eco-bike.com in TN, USA. The battery is from AliExpress. The throttle is a twist grip. Walk Assist works...

I bought a Tongsheng TSDZ2 last year on AliExpress. There were loads of them - 250W, 750W, 36v, 48v, 52v... I need to buy another one, but I can't see any of them on AliExpress. There are a lot fewer on ebay, too. Why? Has it gone out of production or something?

@amberwolf thank you for contributing. I run the factory firmware. I agree that the battery is fine. I'll be honest. I feel that in this thread, we have been chasing the battery as a scapegoat, when the problem more likely the controller. Look at the evidence again. I left the battery...

Yes. Definitely 52v version.

Picture of the batteries

Sorry for the delayed reply. No, mild environment, gentle hills. Not strenuous at all. I've opened up the battery. All the connections look secure. The cells are a baby pink, cylinder shape, and about 8 cm long. I'm pretty sure it's a red herring, and is a controller issue. How do I...

My battery seems to have a very short range. My setup - The battery is 520Wh, 52v, 10Ah. It's a shark form factor. - It is paired to my Tongsheng TSDZ2 mid drive engine, factory firmware, on my recumbent bike - I always ride it with max assistance. Symptoms - I did a test ride of 15...

Yes, that's right. Thank you!

Hi @obcd. I stripped open the cable and found 3 wires: red, green and yellow. I can read a voltage between the green, and either of the two other wires. I used a cable tie to keep the throttle closed. I am having trouble identifying which one. Is there another way to tell? The wiring in...

Where do the throttle wires go after they leave the controller? I have the 6 wire controller, VLCD5 display, and a throttle that connects to the display. Hi Hasaf. Maybe we can help each other.

Thanks. I will install the throttle first.

Hard to tell, but my gut instinct is "you'll be fine". Installing a temperature sensor is a sure way to prevent any problems. I advise keeping a low enough gear you can cycle home on a flat battery. Apart from needing a get-me-home gear, no. Having a motor should mean you need a smaller gear...
