I Gave Tongsheng TSDZ8 Another Chance.

Описание: I decided to give the Tongsheng TSDZ8 mid-drive one more chance. The new Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork has transformed this Schwinn Axum, and I was excited to get back out to the beautiful bike trails at Willow River State Park.

This video is a tale of two rides. On the trails, the bike feels incredible. The new fork is a game-changer, the motor performs well, and I have a great time exploring, finding new routes, and even discovering a mysterious blue mushroom.

The ride home, however, is a different story. The same frustrating throttle errors and issues come back to haunt me, proving that while this motor can be great for trail riding, it still has some serious problems that I'll need to figure out (more information coming soon). Join me for the adventure and the frustration!
