Tongsheng Motor Prices: What Actually Moves the Bill
The price shown for a Tongsheng motor mostly depends on the configuration chosen within a modular kit — but also, to a lesser extent, on the model: the TSDZ8 and TSDZ16 start about 30 to 60 € above the TSDZ2B and TSDZ2. Understanding this mechanic keeps you from paying twice as much for the same motor.
The key point. Amazon.fr and AliExpress don't sell these motors as fully separate products: a single listing often covers TSDZ2B, TSDZ8 and TSDZ16, from 250 W to 1,000 W, through a configurator. Price follows the chosen configuration first — power, display, battery — and varies slightly by model on top of that.
The confirmed entry price
| Model | Entry price recorded (07/27/2026) |
|---|---|
| Tongsheng TSDZ8 | 336 € |
| Tongsheng TSDZ16 | 366 € |
| Tongsheng TSDZ2B | 306 € |
| Tongsheng TSDZ2 | 306 € |
This price corresponds to a motor-only kit, in a 250 W configuration, from the cheapest specialist resellers found on Amazon.fr.
What actually moves the price
The power chosen. Going from 250 W to 750 W or 1,000 W raises the kit price, regardless of the model. A kit listed at 350-400 € often corresponds to a higher power tier, not a different motor.
The display included. Tongsheng kits ship with displays spanning very different tiers: from the basic monochrome VLCD5 to Bluetooth color models (EKD01, 810S). This one difference alone can account for a 100-200 € gap between two listings of the same motor.
The battery. A kit with a downtube battery (17 to 20 Ah) naturally climbs past 400-500 €, versus 306 € for the motor alone.
The seller. Several resellers (Varstrom notably) list near-identical configurations priced anywhere from 306 € to 390 € for the same power — the gap usually comes down to included accessories (cables, speed sensor, hardware).
How to avoid overpaying
Always check the configuration before comparing two prices. A listing at 306 € and another at 565 € for a "TSDZ2B" can cover completely different kits: the second often includes a premium Bluetooth display and a full battery, while the first sells only the bare motor.
Compare like for like. Before concluding one seller is pricier, check that power, voltage, display, and battery inclusion match between the two listings you're comparing.
The motor alone is the most economical entry point. If you already own a compatible display and battery from an earlier build, a motor-only kit keeps spending to the strict minimum.
Spare parts remain inexpensive. Sprockets, speed sensors, cables: these parts generally run 10 to 30 €, useful for maintaining an already-installed motor without buying a full kit again.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Tongsheng motor cost in 2026?
From 306 € for a base configurable kit (250 W), across all models. The price climbs with the power chosen, the display, and whether a battery is included — up to 500-600 € for a complete kit with battery.
Why do the TSDZ8 and TSDZ16 cost more than the TSDZ2B and TSDZ2?
Across the listings we track, the TSDZ8 starts at 336 € and the TSDZ16 at 366 €, versus 306 € for the TSDZ2B and TSDZ2 — a gap that broadly tracks available torque (up to 140 and 160 N·m, versus 80 N·m). The model still remains one option among others within the same configurable kit, on the same footing as voltage or power: these aren’t 4 fully separate products.
Should I be wary of kits under 300 €?
Not necessarily, but check what’s included: motor only, without display or battery, and the price logically drops. A complete kit (color display, 17-20 Ah battery) mechanically climbs past 400-500 €.
