I just bought one of these on Fleabay and I want to use a Tszd2 and wondering if anyone here has any experience with this model bike? https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/dual-sport-bikes/dual-sport/8-3-ds/p/16291/
2016 Trek 8.3 DS conversion? Tszd2 Compatibility?

I don't have any experience with that model of bike but have setup up numerous TS motors on bikes and don't see anything out of the ordinary, like a funky bb size especially, that would prevent using one on that bike. Just take your time setting it up and it should be all good to go!

As a strong proponant of hub motors , I have to ask why put the expensive, complicated, drivetrain destroying mid drive on it?
I am not opposed to a Hub motor at all as I have a Ride1up Core 5 right now and love it. What would you put on it?

There are literally dozens of choices for hub drive kits from 250 to thousands of watts online.
I prefer the 1500 rear geared hub with KT controller (very adjustable).
The whole process, to go from acoustic to 32 mph electric, took me about 2-3 hours.
I have been toying with the KT controller rear hub idea also and looking at Grin Hub motors. Most of those kits online I have seen have silver rims and I just don't like the cheap look of them.
got any pics of your build?

Yeahs some people want ascetics...I prefer performance and simplicity.
I haven't even properly wrapped the wiring on my bike but here is the pics :
It nite time sooo but you can see the black rims in the rear.
