Had the same issue with mine, narrowed it down to dry surfaces between swing arm and linkage. (especially after washing). Need to keep these lubricated with small amount of grease and runs silently.
2018-2020 Merida e160 E8000 Shimano - 5500km no problems
2020 NORCO Range VLT C1 E8000 Shimano - 2000km then failed due to water in battery compartment (warranty replacement frame / motor)
Warranty replacement currently 4200km - no problems
Can't complain about shimano motors !!
Hi,
My wife has had an Intrigue E dual suspension for about 18 months and loves it.
The yamaha motor provides torque at low cadence, making it really rider friendly.
Dual suspension is really planted, again making it an easy bike to ride.
Only issue was with speed sensor cable poor routing...
Hi Mate,
-I run 29er front and makes the bike feel WAY better
-Also had badass since new, couple thousand k's later all good, quicker road shuttles + what you mentioned hitting faster sections
- Fox 36 ebike has 34 internals so can't be extended. Put lufkappe / fractive in mine and improves fork...
