Fifty years ago, my wife owned a red Raleigh like this one with drop bars. Regret not keeping it, but I found this one to convert with the Toseven DM02 500W kit,
I bought the 500W DM02 last September, but other bike projects were ahead of it, Just about finished this week, One glitch was the wrong brake levers were put in the box. Connectors were wrong and had to be required. Also a minor complaint with these online instructions. They left off the spacers, which I knew were needed, Otherwise, install was simple.
It came with the T-24 color display, which I found easy to read in sunlight, It allows me to see the usual time and distance info, plus voltage, motor amps, watts, motor temperature and torque sensor output, Mine also allows access to advanced motor functions., Access is now locked out on newer displays, and the currents are now fixed. Users were melting motors,
I recall Pedaluma raging about the unwieldy firmware updates, After reading the Toseven Wiki, I am not doing any firmware changes,
Bike runs great. The torque multiplacation can be felt immediately in the lowest assist level and grows with higher pedal pressure, It;s like 100 watts in level 1, but can exceed 300 watts when pushed. It's good on either 36 or 48 volts too, I installed the throttle, but it's programmed to deliver power according to assist level. Level one is very low and level five is still low, Can't use it for hill climbing like on a hub motor or the BBS02B.
I believe it's stronger than my TongshengTSDZ2 with OSF firmware, and way more rideable than a stock TSDZ2B, I still like my TSDZ2/OSF on a similar bike, but that bike does much better on 36V.
