    Update the EP 801 RS with the “classic” SHIMANO EP 801 (RISE 2025) ?

    Yup that's what I sort of what I have #1 is 150/300/400, max 85nm for the RE, #2 is "fine-tune" max 600 for main battery only. I rode RE almost to the first summit (~1900ft climb); I could have made it if I stuck to 300 but was lazy and ran at 400 for much of the way. 400 seems fine with...

    Update the EP 801 RS with the “classic” SHIMANO EP 801 (RISE 2025) ?

    So far so good, used trail (300) on the approach then boost (400) climbing the trail (about 800ft so far). Display @ 8 bars, RE showing 2. Back to Trail for a while. As I recall I can start feeling the drop when RE drops to 1.

    Update the EP 801 RS with the “classic” SHIMANO EP 801 (RISE 2025) ?

    The first time I used the range extender after bumping up max power/torque I ran into this on a steep climb. My Urrun had just a few miles on it; I thought I broke it! Off/On then again, then it occurred to me to disconnect the extender, all good after that. I'd consider a new range...

    Pic of the Day

    Coyote - big and healthy one. As far as I’m concerned they are a plague. Not so much this guy, his range is wild-slash-natural, but there are a lot than roam the neighborhoods in broad daylight like guilty looking stray dogs. They do keep the small pet population under control. As does the...

    Orbea Urrun EP801 and XT Di2 with auto shift headache

    [edit: wrote this before reading what backflip wrote. He likely knows more than me :)] I believe eMax modifies the official firmware images to override the speed limiter. Quite a feat to figure out what bits - literally - need to be flipped. That’s why you can’t install the eMax image...

    Orbea Urrun EP801 and XT Di2 with auto shift headache

    As a precaution I backed out of my max power mod before updating. The blazing fast 32kph we reckless yanks enjoy is plenty quick for me on my emtb, though Orbea runs some of their shimano-powered urban bikes at 45kph.

    Orbea Wild 2023 Headset spinblock broken

    Not sure if it’s been covered in this thread but there’s a “universal collector” which Enables the use of standard non-OC HS02 stems compatible with round headset spacers. Since the universal collector and standard stems do not have the Spinblock assembly profile, the Spinblock steering...

    Shimano Ep801 profile 1 and 2 settings!

    I’m also curious what the stock power (watts) levels are for the RS+ profiles. I’d have to reset my RS to stock to be sure but I believe the e/t/b levels are 150/250/350w, and 350w being the max for fine tune mode.

    Bosch Nyon freezes, or at least the thumb switch does ...

    I was riding yesterday - only thing unusual was it was a hot day for SF Bay Area (90-100F) but I've ridden the bike @ 106F without issue - Nyon (gen 2) froze so I couldn't change assist level or change screens with the thumb controller. I neglected to check whether the touchscreen responded...

    Any Kemen owners out there know what max power their ep801 is configured for?

    While the Kemen has the same 540wh battery as the Urrun, the Urrun sports the EP801-RS model restricted to 60nm and the Kemen the full 85nm. What I’m curious to know is whether the Kemen’s motor is truly unrestricted and has max power of 600w or if it’s set to something less? And if...

    Rail (625Wh) Tail light for Rail?

    While I have a wired tail light on my Rail, for my other eMTB I opted for a cheap usb-c tail light that mounts onto the rails on the saddle. Auto-on/off with brake light feature. $10. I’m happy with my head light - same one on both bikes, reasonably priced.

    Urrun: routing a dropper cable

    I didn’t for the dropper cable, but I did when I was running lighting and pulling the shifter cable (went Di2). It was easy, go for it. From the Blue Paper:

    Update the EP 801 RS with the “classic” SHIMANO EP 801 (RISE 2025) ?

    elsewhere there’s a conversation about this. I have an Orbea Urrun, 540wh battery and the 801-RS. Orbea sells more or less same bike - the Kemen - as an urban bike (same frame and battery but taller and fewer gears, less fork travel, fenders etc) but with the full-fat 801 motor @ 85nm...

    Update the EP 801 RS with the “classic” SHIMANO EP 801 (RISE 2025) ?

    You can change power/torque output using programs like those from emax-tuning though not sure whether you can do it over Bluetooth (via iOS or android app) or if you need the pce02 interface and the windows app (I have the pce02). I was able to do it over BT with the iOS app though not sure if...
