First of all, you need to examine the geometry and size of your bike frame to determine whether the motor can be fitted.

If your bike is small, this can be a challenge, but there are workarounds, such as battery bags or rack-mounted batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s important to examine the <b>quality of your transmission<\/b> and <b>brakes <\/b> to find out if they are suitable for adding an electric motor. If your transmission isn&#8217;t in good condition, it may not be able to handle the extra power from the engine <a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/kit-velo-electrique-1000w-decathlon-une-bonne-idee\/\">(discussed here)<\/a>, and if your brakes aren&#8217;t powerful enough, it could cause  <b>safety issues<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Taking all these aspects into account may seem tedious, but it can help you achieve a more enjoyable and safer riding experience with yourelectric bike.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the following points should be checked:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The bottom bracket is not <b>carbon<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Examine the geometry and size of your bicycle frame to determine whether the motor can be fitted.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Check that your bike has enough space to accommodate the battery.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Examine the quality of your transmission and brakes to see if they are suitable for the addition of an electric motor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Popup-compatibilite.webp\" alt=\"Popup compatibilite\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Popup-compatibilite.webp 1000w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Popup-compatibilite-600x336.webp 600w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Popup-compatibilite-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Popup-compatibilite-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there&#8217;s only a limited space between the motor axle (which is inserted into your bike&#8217;s bottom bracket) and the lower motor housing\/support. This space can only accommodate 8 mm of space. An 8 mm gap is generally sufficient  to run cables under the bottom bracket (even if you have to remove the guide or sand it down) on aluminum, steel and titanium frames, but most carbon bikes have too thick a shell\/wall around the bottom bracket for a TSDZ2 to be compatible (the TSDZ8 will solve this problem very soon). Bikes with carbon frames must be fitted with aluminum bottom brackets to avoid any risk of damage to the carbon by the motor.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"373\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/moteur-8MM.jpg\" alt=\"compatibilite TSDZ2 moteur 8MM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/moteur-8MM.jpg 373w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/moteur-8MM-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>In some cases (particularly with wide-tyred bikes) the  <b>base tubes<\/b>  (the rear part of the frame that runs to the derailleur hanger) can bend at an acute angle from the bottom bracket, usually to accommodate a very wide tire (fatbike type), and  the motor can then touch the frame  at this level.
