    I’m Out , not only out but screwed ! 😱

    Yamaha, unlike most motors, do not suffer from the motor angle issue when fitting a new board. (You can't change the board on a Giant "SyncDrive", they use their own proprietary software). One thing you absolutely should not do though, is take the torque sensor apart! It is calibrated to the...

    Subjective I know but.... Whats the most reliable Ebike motor

    Depends on the motor, most just rely on the bearing and no motor is waterproof.

    Shimano vs brose reliability

    No, we stated that we do not rebuild E7000, 8000 motors due to the software issues and the E6000 was not re-buildable due to the plug orientation and the way the wiring was soldered to the board. However, we may have found a way round that issue now (not that we're repaoring them, we just never...

    Shimano vs brose reliability

    Just for the record: Shimano are repairable, we sell the bearings and parts for them. Also the Brose motors are up-gradable Brose Motor Upgrade Service - eBike Motor Centre (Performance Line Bearings) which takes away many of the issues that cause this motor to fail.

    Heart says Rail7, head says Merida e160 700…which way would you go

    What he said! Personally, I say... buy a bike with your heart not your head. What you see on the forums does not show a true representation of the thousands of people happily riding around on all different makes of motors suffering no issues what so ever. A bike should make you smile when you...

    Heart says Rail7, head says Merida e160 700…which way would you go

    The fault is a software error or a calibration issue, depending on which fault. It cannot currently be removed as far as I am aware. Yes, if your motor is out of warranty, the current thinking is, you will be happy to pop out and buy a new motor.

    WARNING! To Bosch powered ebike owners (pre 2020)

    All your problems are being caused by the plastic bit around the front of your sprocket, did you remove it? The sprocket you need is a "Boost" sprocket, this will have the return on it. BBB Boost sprocket "Boost" sprockets help spread the sprocket load on the carrier or 'boss' and stop the...

    WARNING! To Bosch powered ebike owners (pre 2020)

    No annual servicing is required. Just the seals from time to time. These motors are not really something you want to keep taking apart and putting back together again. They are the epitome of "if it aint broke don't fix it". But if anything starts to go wrong, feel wrong, sound wrong, STOP! Get...

    No, you can do a seal clean and re-grease :)

    WARNING! To Bosch powered ebike owners (pre 2020)

    Stops you ripping your trousers on the sprocket :p No, it makes no difference to your motor if mud packs down the front of the sprocket because it can't get into your motor from there.
