Toseven DM02 500W Motor

My freind and I didn't the exact same thing with the same result.
We couldn't get it to work.

seemed like a good idea at the time,guess we were trying to save a rare commodity an inner tube.

Well they would be the experts.

guess any lube would help.

 

[kevinmccune]

Sorry... But absolutely not.
That is a lubricant for the backside of brake pads to reduce braking noise.

Surely not the correct viscosity /flow /penetration for gears.
And we all know how important flow & penetration is

need an "ep" lube for gears,atf qualifies for that aspect.

In the early 90's, I bought of tub of this grease, mainly to grease the sliders on automotive brake calipers. It's also rated for wheel bearings. As time passed, I used it for garage door wheels, and eventually in my bike axles, headsets and BB's. Recently used a dollop in my TSDZ2 mid drive.


It's almost all gone now. I bought a tube of Mobil SHC. I don't like the cartridge, so when I finish off a tin of peanuts, I'll fill it with Mobil,

Anyway, I did buy a DM02 motor last month. Comes in around the same weight as a TSDZ2.


I powered it up on the bench, and the display lights up and the throttle works, The display has something like 50 screens and will show watts, temperature, and voltage, the big Three, although I might crash the bike flipping thru the screens to find them.


I also bought the programming cables. Virus scans indicate no malware in the Toseven downloads, but I have no plans to update the firmware, It seems that until a few weeks ago, the download firmware was older than what they were shipping in current product. With that kind of release control, best to avoid. I hate programming firmware anyway.

I need a bike for it. I have a nice GT hybrid that I swore never to electrify it, but now I'm getting too old to pedal around without power. Guess I will sacrifice it to the Ebike Gods.



No real world results yet. It ain't wine country where I live. Snow just fell today, and I have to reorganize my bikes and lawn equipment to get the snownlower out.

I remember that grease !!

I've never had any, but I remember seeing it around many times.

My grease containers all look the same as yours.
It sucks how you always end up with crud in the grease, so when you have to pack a bearing, you have to dig past the top layer of grease to reach the clean stuff underneath.

I never threw out the dirty stuff, and would wipe it along my car fenders to help stop rust.
Fenders always rust out first.

Snow fell here too for the first time today.
I think my riding days are done for the season?

Now I can finally grease my motor with my fancy $50 Mobil 28 Airplane Grease,..

It should only be a ½ hour job but I'm sure I'll screw up or break something that will take a month to fix, so I waited until winter to do it.
I hope I don't get sand or metal bits in the grease.

interesting,I see "clay thickner" on the container,have seen clays that were slick as as eel dreck if you can keep them wet,anyway most greases seem to be a metallic stearate matrix with different metal bases with of course the oil in suspension which does most of the lubricating assume the :stearates are basically a form of soap.had a conversation with a chemist at one of the big lubricating manufacturers,he sez do not mix grease with different metallic bases,FoMoCo was bad about this they used to use a sodium based grease while most everyone else used a lithium based grease. These nasty messes have increased my love for sealed bearings over the years,tech these days has progressed to the point were machines with high bearing loads can go "greaseless"

It's supposed to be the best thing to lubricate the nylon gears in my hub motor.
It's supposed to have the most staying power to stay stuck to the gears and not get flung off at high rpms and make a mess inside the motor.
It's supposed to have a Huge temperature range and be able to deal with lots of vibration and moisture as well.

And it's the best thing to use on your airplane

It's hard to find in Canada and I actually had to buy it from and airplane supply store.

It's like ten bucks in America.

whoa! well rest assured clay is something you have to "wear off" usually
