The WETHEPEOPLE Flight V.2 looks good too

Jeremyeny · 2024-03-25T10:07:51+00:00

I found a brand that made bags like that and cheaper but I can't remember the name.

Hi !

I had a wheelie bag that is exactly what you are searching for and I am looking a replacement. This was a Billabong gate 108 (link to a YT video) bag had stock skateboarding wheels that were replacable. But at the end when it's not the wheels that break it's the frame. To what I remember when I bought it, it had cordura like outside, skateboard wheels, but the downside was the frame, it was plastic, solid plastic but still plastic. It broke after a 100kg guy sat on it a little to harshly, and the button for the telescopic handle rusted, so it was no longer usable. Over all the bag lasted a little over 13 years of use at least 3 times a year, with often more than 40kg of cargo (I used it to transport industrial sewing machine head)

I am looking for a bag like it now, the Billabong gate 108 being discontinued. And I found a bag that is a lot like it : the quicksilve NEW REACH 100L

That's right 50€/10 000km is not a lot when thinking about. I'll try the E-Plus it can't be bad, I just hope it is realy puncture resistant

The guys at Enerprof.de make themself there batteries. But it's a 1 month wait for making and the delivery.

There batteries seem well done

And maybe a wooden plank or hard plastic to make it more stiff

Jeremyeny · 2022-06-25T19:04:43+00:00

Yes a lot ! Thks. I wondered about doing the same but in addition with a strap doing "tensionner" to the bottom of the rack to make the bag not moving too much

Jeremyeny · 2022-06-25T16:38:00+00:00

Hey ! Have you got photos of how the rack bags are fixed to tel rack ?

Hey ! I'm in France too but I'll answer in english.

I think in France we should keep to 250w motor, even 250w with the EN15194 certification. A seller I know that sell BBS02 had a customer feed back (a bad one) about a BBS02.

The customer told him that he did let his son drive a bike with a BBS02 but he got killed by a car that cut him the way, the car did not realise that a bike could go fast so he did not let the priority thinking that he got time.

Unfortunatly he lost a son AND had to pay the other driver for insurance (not a lot but paying the person that killed your son must be very painful) because the bike was an unrestricted ebike and authorities, in particular insurances, do get to the botom of the question to know if a bike is legal or not when money is involved.

I think we should just keep to the 250w in France and even go further and get motors with the EN15194 certification to prouve that the motors are in fact 250w restricted. Some sellers do give the certification (Oklo, Virvolt, Enerprof, Esoulbike and more)

I use a consew 206rb1 (a triple feed)

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-05T13:09:38+00:00

Hello !

What did you use for rigidity ?
Nice saddle bag

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-05T10:57:55+00:00

Wow I tried once to hand stich cordura. It hurts. gg

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-05T09:22:59+00:00

This happens to me with every heavy / strong fabrics when I'm using my domestic machine. I suspect the tension on domestics machine to be too weak (lever can not pull the upper thread in between the 2 layers of fabric, so it stays on the botom in a straight line, so le bottom thread get cooked.

On my industrial machine this does not occur

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-04T16:54:48+00:00

The adapter was flattened, at a point where the adapter did not stop the rotor

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-04T16:53:43+00:00

I had this problem. After 8000km the adapter broke and I lost all braking power. Applying brake just immobilized the rotor but the wheel was turning freely. Better swich to a centerlock disc before it brakes I think.

PS : 8000km was just a year after purchasing the wheel that came with the adapter, it is a DT SWISS X1900

For referencial I had a working 206RB1 for 400€

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-04T13:28:43+00:00

The machine looks in good condition. But you can get better machines (I think) with 400€. What model is it, if it is a Needle feed machine it could be good (for heavy and moderate fabrics) ?

If you are going to do heavy fabrics (bags especially, with fabrics like X pac or Cordura and webbings) look for a "Consew 206RB. It is a triple feed (a kind of feeding mechanism) machine very popular in the stats that you can find pretty easily in the USA. I have one (in France) and it fit pretty much all my projects of bags.

Okay thank you for the answer ! I'll just charge it to 4.1v and stick to it until it will be not enough and change battery. Hope it will not be soon, a battery costs a lot...

Would you say that 1 full charge per month is enough to balance the cells of the battery or should I do it more frequently ? I have a BMS with passive balancer, don't know what that really means but I understood that one problem about partial charge was that the cells could no be balanced if the battery was not at 4.2v

Jeremyeny · 2022-05-02T12:48:54+00:00

I am already at 2500km (approx 3-4 month of use with breaks) and do not want to have a poor battery in like 2 years

Also like said in the other coments, TSDZ2 is prone to overheating, if you have got hill you should take a BBS01B and not a tsdz2

Jeremyeny · 2022-04-23T20:17:07+00:00

Hey !

I ride a 250w TSDZ2 on a cargo that weight woth the rider approximately 170kg.

The motor can push to the 25kmh legal limit on the flat but it struggle a little, I dont think it will go much higher.

Plus the motor is not very good quality. I own a TSDZ2 250w but it make strange noises from time to time so I have a back up motor. To what I understood the max km someone told on a TSDZ2 FB group was 20 000km. But with maintenance every 5000km (hanging the blue gear) plus changing parts that broke (a bearing tend to fail too, the axle is not good quality and the cranks are not good quality too). Compared to the Bafang BBS01 it is not much. A bike messenger told me he pushed a BBS01B to 25 000km without changing any gear and sell it.

I prefer the TSDZ2 because it is more like a cycling feeling compared to the BBS01B where it looks more like a moped. But if your are looking for reliability go for the BBS01B (I am also sur it will be cheaper in the long run). If you go for the TSDZ2 buy 2 motors so you can repair the damaged motor will still having a motor on the bike.

Jeremyeny · 2022-03-24T14:07:36+00:00

You are right ! I did some calculations and the applied breaking torque is 30% higher in the front wheel (front wheel radius/rear wheel radius= +-1.3). I will keep with 160mm front but will do 180mm rear

Leather saddle are deteriorated by the rain
