I'm assuming this must be a relatively new motor. Did a search here--no results. Thinking about using a TSDZ16 for our 2nd ebike conversion (27.5" Northrock XC27). Used a Bafang 750w BBS02 for our 1st conversion on a 20" Zizzo folding bike. The Bafang's cadence-based pedal-assist is a bit cumbersome---even after a good bit of programming (1-9 PAS) via an EKD01 display (canbus version). We thought we'd give the torque sensing 1000w TSDZ16 a try.
Did some preliminary measurements and it appears the gear housing and/or chainring is going to be close to the Northrock's rear chainstay (fingers crossed there's no contact). As far as I know Varstrom only manufacturers one chainring for the TSDZ16, a 46t. The only way to adjust the offset is to place/remove clearance rings on the drive side of the bottom bracket opening. Are there adapters/chainrings available for the TSDZ16 (from a US distributor) that can provide more flexibility in terms of gearing and offset?
A number of distributors offer the EKD01 display with the TSDZ16. We like the canbus EKD01 on our Bafang so we thought we'd stick with it. Based on the pictures I've seen the TSDZ16 appears to use a round connector for the display. I'm assuming this means it's UART based? Any significant operational difference between the UART based EKD01 used on the TSDZ16 and the canbus EKD01 used on the BBS02?
Are there any other issues/gotchas we should be aware of before we pull the trigger on this TSDZ16?
Thanks!
