Full suspension DIY build with Tongsheng TSDZ2

DIY conversion with full suspension and a Tongsheng TSDZ2 motor

A clean full suspension build by A. Gawlowski.

It's a Boardman, with internal cable routing in some places.


Changed his Bafang 48v 750w motor to a Tsdz2 48v 500w.  He says he don't get anywhere near the speed or power but it feels so much better and practical on the trails,  especially the black complicated trails. Weight is only 21kg.  He also made a more practical mod to the XH18 screen.  Chainline is perfect,  get full clearance use of suspension.

Photos from A. Gawlowski.

Green Boardman MTR? Very nice build, full clearance of suspension. Hailong battery on downside of downtube.

Fasten the battery with threaded rivet nuts.

He used this so he could put 4 screws in the underside of downtube.


Speed sensor is riveted, M5?

Nice clean installation!

Speed sensor: Goal was not to use cable ties, looks really neat.

It had a std 68mm Bottom Bracket which made to whole conversion fairly easy.

Out on Giant.  
"Still loving these TSDZ motors. I certainly wasn't found lacking against the Bosch powered Cube." - S. Garthwaite
"Made my own battery mount which (so far) has been absolutely solid. It's a tight fit but the battery can be removed easily enough." - S. Garthwaite

Stealthy battery on this Voitl!

36 volt battery that fits the bottle holder makes it clean and for a untrained eye stealthy.
