I'm certainly no expert but I'd be careful if I was the OP. FWIW I have a Briggs and Stratton 48v lithium battery that is 43v nominal/48V MAX. The charger has 48v output, not 54.6 so a standard 48v (nominal) battery charger would likely dangerously overcharge a 43v nominal battery - if that is...

Maybe last nice weather for another week or so, depending on the forecast model, took advantage with a local ride right from home. Mt Hood in the distance is looking bare, hopefully precipitation starting tomorrow will pretty it up.

Having dogs means having to deal with grief when they pass. Memories are priceless and bittersweet at the same time.. Long gone Brittany and golden when they were young. In a wicker bike basket going for a ride Best buddies

I love my dogs, currently two rescue Brittany. They are high energy dogs that can develop issues if they aren't exercised and have room to roam. Issues resolve quickly in the right environment. 7 year old we've had for 6 years Almost 3 year old we've had for almost 2 years. Photo is at...

Apparently Yamaha allows bike manufacturers to set some of their own programming parameters. The walk assist button is there but not functional and there isn't any way to address the firmware to activate it. At one point I considered buying a new motor from a seller on ebay who had NOS...

For some reason portrait pictures get rotated. It's a staircase with wheel well ramps connecting segments of the trail. There's a 90 degree turn at the landing so I can't get it in one image. I took two pictures, down and up. Pretty steep, not an issue with an analog bike but with the extra...

Cool breezy day for a ride Taken from landing and why I want ebike with walk assist. Landslide area from early in the year

If anyone is interested in how loud the P110 is I found a short video with sound posted by mission motion who is a US distributor. It sounds loud to me in the video, not sure how much of that is due to sound attributes of the video but I can say that my S110 is almost silent running in real...

Columbia River gorge Hood River to Rowena area. A bit of a drive but worth it every time. Used to ride it with my family, wife on her Schwinn 6 speed cruiser and a few times on a cruiser tandem, well before I'd heard of ebikes and certainly wouldn't have considered one even if I had known of them.

Gorgeous weather for a ride in an area that, without exaggeration, I've done probably a hundred times or more. It never gets old.

I might not be entirely clear on what you're asking, are you wanting to replace a 7 speed cassette with 10 speed and pair it with a 2x crankset? 2x crankset swap is simple, either square tape or hollow with external bearings and set your 3x front derailleur low stop to prevent chain drop. A 7...

No idea, the current chain guide is working out fine so no need for anything further in this regard. Raining today so I'll head out into the garage and lube the TSDZ2 gears. I have a tub of Super Lube so that's what I'll use and have used the same on my other motor in the past. Edit: While...

Without the chainguide it always drops when shifted to the inner two (largest) cogs, even on a bike stand. I'm happy with the chainguide as it is but it couldn't be easily modified anyway, the screw visible on the outside of the guide fastens to a rod that is clamped into the seat tube bracket...

Pictures can be deceiving. The chain is properly set in the chainring, not a link off. The chainring is like new, it's a wolf tooth product and it's made that way with tooth shape. Chain isn't worn at all and neither is the cassette. The spider is aftermarket made for TSDZ2 and allows...

I know I'm not alone with aggravating and gear limiting chain drop with TSDZ2 and probably other DIY mid drives that place the chainring outward resulting in poor chainline. I need large cogs on the cassette for everyday hill climbing and on this Dahon Jack 8 speed the chain drops inboard...
