Hi ! I have a bike equipped with a Shimano EP801. It has kickstand, and I get minimal interference between the left crank and the kickstand, so I would like to install a crankset with larger Q-factor. Just a few mm. The original Shimnao crankset is 177mm, I would like to go to 180-182mm. Does it...

Hi, Who has tested the Autoshift or Freeshift mode on the Di2 transmission, coupled to EP801 motor ? How does it work in real life ? What about gear shift under full load ? And maintenance ? What mileage do you get on it ? I'm really curious about the frequency of cassette/chain replacement...

Hi, Who has tested the Autoshift mode on the XT Linglide Di2 transmission, coupled to EP801 motor ? How does it work in real life ? What about gear shift under full load ? And maintenance ? What mileage do you get on it ? I'm really curious about the frequency of cassette/chain replacement...

Thanks for your insights :)

Hi ! Just taking some feedback about this motor, which is on my short list. It has been on the market for a couple of years now, what is the reliability of the M510 compared to Bosch (CX) and Shimano (EP8) ? Thanks :)

I'm concerned by the clipping system. But on my Bosch eMTB, the inner battery faces downard with no issue.

Hi ! I'm designing an ebike, and I plan to install the battery below the top tube (external model, 504 or 630 Wh : E8016 or E8010), facing downward. Is this installation authorized by Shimano, and technically suitable ? Thanks :)

My questions is not just for me, it's about an ebike I'm currently developing. So I will have to use new motors. I see that you service many Brose motors, what do you think of their latest versions ? Is there a version that you recommend (S Alu, S Mag, T Alu, T Mag...) ? I don't care about...

Thanks !

Do you remember what were the main models of motor with such mileage ?

Many thanks to all for your useful inputs :)

That's another question ;) I plan to use several batteries, up to 2000 Wh total capacity. For real remote travelling without charging point for more than 200-250 km, the only option is... muscle power, or solar charging.

Same question :) Are you happy, or do you know people happy, with your/their Yamaha or Bosch motor on the long run ?

Thanks. I know that Yamaha has a good reputation for reliability, have you tested it yourself (or do you know people happy with their Yamaha motor on the long run) ?

Thanks for your answers. I actually have a good hub motor right now on my current bike : GMAC 8T with 52V batteries. It's perfect on flat lands, but it's clearly inadequate in mountainous areas, especially off-road where you get often inclines above 10%, and where the motor overheats quickly...

Conditions would be a round-the-world trip, for example :) So, pretty rough. But when I say 50k without major issue, it doesn't mean without preventive maintenance ! Ideally, maintenance that you can do alone.

Hi ! I'm looking for a very reliable mid-drive motor, with torque sensor, able to withstand at least 50.000 km without major issue. Is this realistic ? Is there any motor able to meet these criteria ? Bosch CX, Shimano EP8, Brose S-Mag, Yamaha PW-X, Bafang M..., Panasonic, etc ? I know that...

Hi, I'm looking for the dimensions of the Yamaha PW-X3 motor. Ideally a drawing ! Would someone have this here ?

Hi M510 users ! I haven't been trough the 42 pages of this post ;) I wonder if, after a few months use, you find the Bafang M510 : - reliable, - silent ? And for those who have tested other motors, how does it compare with the Bosch Gen 4, Shimano EP8, Yamah PW-X2 or Brose S ? Thanks !
