I just ordered a TSDZ2 with a battery. I'm excited to get this project going! Now, I just need an appropriate bike.

Have any of you who've installed this run into any issues with the bottom bracket fitting? Apparently, the "TSDZ2 Mid Drive Kits are designed to fit bikes with threaded JIS/BSA bottom brackets". The standard size is 68-73mm. I read that a lot of newer bikes (after 2012) have different bottom brackets (either wider or "press fit" or with different tapering). When looking for a used bike online, sometimes it's hard to find what sort of bottom bracket a bike has.

If you've installed this on a bike without the threaded JIS/BSA bottom bracket, what sort of adapters did you need?

Any other thoughts or considerations around fitting the bottom bracket?

Thanks!
