Advice building for first time (want programming ability/OSF)
Posted by Kind_Method_3971@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 1 comments
Hello, I recently was looking into the Tongsheng TSDZ2B, however the OSF doesn't work as the microcontroller has been upgraded.
Is there a solution for my needs (have had a look at the Bafang mid drives)?:
- 48v, 250w (however max current can be increased to increase power (has software limit, but hardward is same as higher wattage versions)).
- OSF good support/ability to program from display.
- Display with firmware source code available to play around with/change functions.
- Easy ability to flash display/motor controller (no fiddling)?

If all you need is 250w then you have a ton of options. I would stick to a bafang hub motor.

Anything listed there that'll fit your current bike and tires is good.
I would get a wheel with motor and no controller. Now your last requirement is a little weird:
Flashing firmware is "fiddling"... The easiest open source controller by far is VESC. Get a cheap flipsky or spintend controller and set it to whatever you need. But, that's fiddling... so not sure what you mean by not wanted to fiddle.
