4. Configuració i instal·lació

This section outlines the general steps for installing the TSDZ16 mid-drive motor kit onto your bicycle. Ensure your bicycle's bottom bracket is compatible (68-73mm).

Passos d'instal·lació:

  1. Prepare the Bicycle: Remove the existing crankset, bottom bracket, and chain. Clean the bottom bracket shell.
  2. Instal·leu el motor: Carefully insert the TSDZ16 motor into the bottom bracket shell. Ensure proper alignment and clearance.
  3. Assegurar el motor: Install the fixing nut and bracket to secure the motor to the frame. Tighten the fixing nut to 40Nm.
  4. Install Speed Sensor: Mount the speed sensor on the chainstay and attach the magnet to a spoke, ensuring a 10-15mm gap between the sensor and magnet.
  5. Install Cranks and Chainwheel: Attach the crank arms and the 46T chainwheel to the motor spindle.
  6. Instal·lació de la cadena: Reinstall or install a new chain, ensuring it is properly routed and tensioned.
  7. Connecteu el cablejat: Connect the display, throttle, brake levers/sensors, and optional lights to the main wiring harness (1T4 cable) and then to the motor.
  8. Instal·la la bateria: Mount the battery securely to the bicycle frame and connect it to the motor's power cable.
  9. Comprovacions finals: Double-check all connections, ensure no wires are pinched, and test the motor's functionality before riding.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, operating your Varstrom TSDZ16 kit is straightforward. The system offers pedal assist and, if equipped, a throttle mode.

Operació de visualització:

The specific operation may vary slightly depending on your chosen display (DZ40, SW2-M58, or EKD01). Refer to the individual display manual for detailed instructions.

Comparison of EKD01, M58, and DZ40 displays
Figure 5.1: Comparison of available display options: EKD01 (2.4" TFT), M58 (3.8" LCD), and DZ40 (1.6" IPS). Each display offers different features such as speed limit, battery percentage, boot password, and light sensor functionality.
  • Encès/apagat: Typically, press and hold the power button on the display to turn the system on or off.
  • Nivells d'assistència: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through different levels of pedal assistance. Higher levels provide more motor power.
  • Visualització d'informació: The display shows real-time information such as current speed, battery level, assist level, and trip distance.
  • Assistència a la marxa: Most displays offer a walk assist mode, activated by holding a specific button, which provides low-speed assistance for pushing the bike.
  • Throttle (if installed): The thumb throttle provides on-demand power, independent of pedaling, up to the set speed limit.

Consells d'equitació:

  • Start in a low assist level and gradually increase as needed.
  • Shift gears smoothly to optimize motor efficiency and prolong drivetrain life.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and ride defensively, as e-bikes can reach higher speeds than traditional bicycles.
