Furthermore, a bad half-step setup is worse than anything else. Don't bother if you can't get the right freewheel and chainrings to even out all the jumps.
It's actually an ebike with TSDZ2 motor, not the most appropriate forum section I know. Since 7/8 speed chain is the best for middrive ebikes then wide range 7 speed cluster is the best for it. And half-step gearing might get the bike more usable with the motor off. Motor is only for the headwinds and hills.
