    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Hello Sir ! Thanks for taking the time to reply here..... I since found the recommended bearings set for my motor on your web pages.... I see how difficult it is to make sense of "how long is a piece of string ?" but appreciate your efforts and input. Perhaps the recent video feature has...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    I would like to know how much crank free play is too much on an E8000 motor. Mine currently has 2K miles, and runs fine. I have noticed slop in the crank pinion however. There is no end play on the shaft. But I can hear it , feel it, and see it when I grasp the pedals in both hands and test...

    Beeline Moto Navigation Device

    Interesting- it can be used with .gpx files downloaded to the phone. All gps file data uses this format. There is no reason, in theory anyway, why you cant overlay the .gpx data over any mapping software and have it place you correctly. Which makes following "off-road" routes a possibility, I...

    Beeline Moto Navigation Device

    Been looking again at these recently. I was interested when they were still a kickstarter. Then a mate turned up in France with one on his motorcycle a few months back, so I have been looking at them again.. I already have a somewhat cumbersome old skool Defender which runs a full fat OS...

    New Shimano FW update E8000 - 4.9.0, E7000/E6100 - 4.6.0, E5000 - 4.4.2

    Not sure if this answers your Q but I just tried to open the app on my older phone which previously ran an old version (5.0.2 or earlier?)- it immediately downloaded an update over the old version of e-tube for the newest v5.0.4 Shimano have no interest in supporting anything that they havent...

    New Shimano FW update E8000 - 4.9.0, E7000/E6100 - 4.6.0, E5000 - 4.4.2

    Presumably, this doesnt restrict modifying the motor settings as well does it..? With E-Tube, a;tering the assistance within a range was always possible IIRC- hence my dumb question. Forgive me, I havent yet had the chance to see what else has been "hobbled? in the app because of the update...

    Taking eMTBs into France in the van

    I appreciate the comments but think I should point out that the Brexit transition period ended with the start of the new year . Meaning from January 1st 2022, the days of being waved ahead no questions asked, are likely well and truly over.... Not sure about the Dublicate-list... taken from...

    Taking eMTBs into France in the van

    They are likely to ask me to prove I am the owner of the motorcycle I will be transporting though..! Why not the eMTB...? And because, unlike the motorcycle, there are no registration docs associated with a Class1 eMTB, I wondered if there was something I needed to do in order to not get my...

    E-bikes could be banned in New Forest?

    It is a very tempting, if a somewhat less practical possibility than it was before Brexit... Kind of feel this country is sleep walking into some very unpleasant, irreversible policy outcomes for minority user groups of all kinds; that and the over whelming numbers of people everywhere. All...
