Stealthy Cruiser EBike

It looks like you'll need an eccentric adapter to use a TSDZ2 with that bottom bracket?
I'm going to pull my Cadillac bike with TSDZ2 (yes I put it back on that bike after taking it off and putting it on a Dahon folder for a while) and go for a ride today. I replaced the inadequate rear roller brake with a disc brake (I had a disc brake adapter that came with the Nuvinci N360) so now it has excellent braking. I would have done this before but the nuvinci brake interface supposedly requires a special tool to remove, mine was easy to swap out using a couple bike pin spanners.

Ah, this one. That's a nice bike too! Got a pic with the disc brake on the back?

Since I brought this up in another thread, I figured I might as well start the build thread for it now. One of my future bikes is going to be a stealthy cruiser. I would have liked to find a bona-fide cantilevered cruiser, with a suspension, but no such luck. I suppose a retrotec classic is an...

Now that I have the bike mostly dialed in, it's pretty good riding! The wheels spin fairly true, everything seems to have been greased well, and not over tightened. The brakes needed to be set, and the shifter still needs some tweaking, but other than that I'm ready to start working on the "e" part of the ebike! I'll check out those mounts...

I have a couple Topeak Versacages (cages with the mounts) to hold camping stuff. The versacages might be too large for that battery but the mounts seem pretty stable (three mounts per versacage, YMMV with two mounts and a bottle holder).
The bike originally came with a rear disc on a nuvinci n171(hub failed thus the n360). After replacing the brake interface I installed the old disc.Ah, this one. That's a nice bike too! Got a pic with the disc brake on the back?

Don't you hate that... time to drill a new hole, reroute the hydro tube, and bleed the brakes!

That's what I was up to my armpits in yesterday when you asked about wheelsets. It also meant taking apart the motor and reassembling in on the bike.Don't you hate that... time to drill a new hole, reroute the hydro tube, and bleed the brakes!

I had forgotten you mentioned that the frame originally had disc brakes... So you already had mounts... cool. and the hub had mounts for the disc! Looks like you're all set!

I like your seat too. I have all ARS except for one Serfas RX-921V Road/MTB Comfort RX Saddle. And I'm not convinced that is any better than the ARS.
I need to start thinking about bags and baskets soon too!
Looks like you had a good ride. It was too wet here to go very far... maybe tomorrow...
