I loved riding around Mackinac Island when I lived in Michigan or visited. Was planning on riding DALMAC this year then replacing the TSDZ2 mid drive with a triple crankset and riding around the island. Unfortunately I'd have to be back home Sept 8 so that won't be possible this year.

The "legal reality" https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/Biennium/2025-26/Htm/Bill%20Reports/Senate/6110-S.E%20SBR%20FBR%2026.htm There is requirement for "a work group to study and recommend a revised statutory framework for electric motorcycles (e-motos)" but the bill defining a legal ebike did...

I haven't assigned you any age. If you're riding over 28mph in Washington you can try your reasoning with an LEO if/when they decide to enforce the new laws. I can say that locally I haven't seen any of the illegal appearing bikes on the road while they had been commonly sighted before...

"35 mph does not mean an electric motorcycle" I suppose it depends on the laws/regulations where you live. Here in Washington it does indeed mean an electric motorcycle. That doesn't mean you can't have one but it does mean that there are reasonable requirements if you do.

Currently running it on a Dahon Jack folder with a several year old cheap Amazon sourced battery. Ride to town and back over 1200 feet elevation gain in~10 miles round trip. 190 feet of which is on the way down and over 1000 feet on the way back home. Most of the climbing either way is in...

Despite their limitations I wonder if this guy, at least at this moment, would have preferred to be riding on Tannus airless tires. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with them installed on a wheelset.

Ebike or not, you're amazing!

36v 500w tsdz2 on this bike, recent trip to Tetons https://forums.electricbikereview.com/attachments/img_20260608_140147811_hdr-jpg.211250/

I see aliexpress currently has sale on TSDZ2B, shipped from US, $227 for 36v version with most expensive display. That seems like an unbeatable price. OP have you made a decision or just thinking?

He probably just meant control/display rather than controller his is the very old version, I got that with my first one but replaced it with smaller integrated display/control. If this is too difficult for the OP to undertake then, as I posted before, a Keyde rear hub motor which has an...

There are plenty of youtube videos regarding installation of a bottom braket motor onto a trike. Here's one for an older model Tongsheng TSDZ2, there's now a newer model called TSDZ2B which probably installs the same, they are torque sensing. You can decide for yourself if you're capable but I...

You might want to look into a Keyde hub motor. I have a standard axle S110 with a 135mm O.L.D. but they also make a 142mm thru axle version. Simplest possible installation as the controller is built into the hub, only one wire to battery and a wireless (or wired option if you prefer)...

I didn't ride as much as I would have hoped because of weather but the BtrPower battery did well and maintained 40v without sag for the 11+ miles that I used it.

Not a bad idea given the history of this battery. Just yesterday I replaced the Anderson connectors that had been on it with xt60. I thought I was being careful but the Harbor Freight "helping hands" holder for the wires and xt60 slipped shorting the wires for an instant. Upside is that up...

I'm going to charge this battery out on the driveway (in the shade) which is how I usually charge my cheap Amazon sourced batteries. Yamaha batteries I charge in the house but not without monitoring.

I only took it for a short spin so far, the display didn't show any voltage sag, only a couple millivolts while riding. Planning to fully charge and see how it does riding up my road (400 ft elevation gain/mile). I won't be surprised if the results aren't what I hope they will be but one can hope.

Hopefully I didn't just put it in storage fully charged but I wouldn't put it past me - I often feel sorry for the future me. And I do try to follow the best practices but when it comes down to it I'm not that diligent, obviously. The battery is a widely panned BtrPower so it probably doesn't...

Here's another anecdote: 36v BtrPower battery several years old, unused/uncharged since ~'23. I dug it out because I'm planning on some rails to trails riding, taking my '06 Walmart Schwinn with 6-7 year old TSDZ2 (because it has walk assist which BH unexplainably blocked on my Yamaha powered...

Does Li-ion battery degredation results in lower full charge voltage or reduced amp/hour capacityor both? While I try to not leave batteries used on ebikes fully charged for more than a few days I've certainly left them fully charged for much longer than that, sometimes months. Despite this...
