    E010 followed by W013

    My bike sometimes cuts out for a few seconds while peddling if under high load or not. Sometimes I get an error message, sometimes not. Over the last 4 months we have tried: Cleaning various terminals plus dielectric grease multiple times. Replaced all wiring one at a time to try to isolate the...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Shouted my X2 shock a full service (well overdue). And Fox 36 forks a full service with Vorsprung Luftkappe upgrade. Just put the bike back together and wow, really noticed the difference after an easy ride. Will try something bigger on Saturday.

    Revgrips

    For me they didn’t make any difference. Ended up getting some Ergon GA3’s.

    Highest Mileage Steps E8000 Motor

    Nearly 7000k’s on mine. Only problem was a speed sensor cable which caused the bike to cut out for a few seconds periodically under load. Otherwise OK.

    Aussie Prices

    Ausy must be the cheapest country in the world for Meridas. Can’t believe your prices compared to here in NZ.

    e160 900E - how many volume spacers in the fork

    Easy job with an adjustable spanner, just keep plenty of pressure on top so it doesn’t slip and damage the head. My 900e came with 3 spacers. I removed one to get the correct travel.

    E8000 display doesn't always power up first time?

    Must be a Shimano thing. After having both our Merida‘s for around 18 months they both do that.

    Time for an upgrade - but to what?

    I have the 2018 E160 900E which I’m still happy with. To get a new bike with the same great specs these days certainly is a lot more expensive. I will update one day as well so I will be interested to hear what you end up with. Maybe a new Merida 9000, they are certainly great value in Aus...

    My bike fell off my tow bar rack

    The exact same thing happened to me, even Ergon grips. Except I lost half an inch off my bar, now only 710.

    Gid'day from New Zealand

    Welcome to the forum, as you have probably noticed there is a huge amount of info here. Be interested to hear your comments on the Yamaha motor. What part of NZ are you in? I’m in Motueka.

    Rate your E-bike !

    Another Merida E 160 900E here. Build quality and top components, no complaints. Have had no trouble at all, just a bit of water in DI2 which was an easy fix. No Shimano motor issues after 6300 k’s. I’m keeping an eye on all the reviews in the forum, possibly change one day as the new Merida 10k...

    Delta SH Cranks

    I wondered about those tabs too so I made them fit also. No problems. Probably need them as Gary suggests.

    Can I change the handlebar switch on my Shimano steps e8000.

    It’s an easy plug and play job, if you get the E7000 switch make sure to get one with the correct cable length. Works well.
