I ride trails and punchy technical rock. I've lost 9 total motors across 3 generations of Brose motors. The earlier motors lost drive belts, the current (2021) has lost sprag clutches 4 so far lasting about 250 to 450 miles. I have several other bikes to ride, so I accept the...
That is the sprag clutch I'm sorry I was miss spelling it and calling it a bearing it's neither. The picture shows the defective pawl (at least I got "Pawl" correct). I've lost several drive belts until they beefed them up. What's outrageous is that Specialized is selling (millions?) of bikes...
No inspections
a "person" gets raped by a gorilla and is asked, did it hurt?
Did hurt they didn't call they didn't write, no flowers, no chocolates!
The Sprague clutch theory works with the motor off, but so much for theories.

I was immediately suspicious of the Sprague clutch the sudden stop would be indicative of a pawl catching, although the how and why the motor is spontaneously moving does not add up, also I have lost so many motors to Sprague clutch failures I'm sensitized so might just be my...

STOP buy a pair of race face crank arms and be done, I bought three pairs E 13s for the left crank only all three failed and they did nothing for warranty not a dime.

Hello Rob
The Voima is close to being shipped, seems I remember "someone" was promising a review, no pressure of course, hoping "the" tester is NOT as BROKEN as my anticipating heart is....?
As Spike Lee says in somebodys gotta have it "Please baby, please baby....baby baby...

Love this picture, I sure do identify too. Had the EX 8 drive I lost 7 derailleurs, but boy the chains and cassettes really lasted a long time!

Well you certainly qualify for a membership in a class action. I was half kidding, but I suspect there may be some momentum.

Only takes three people in the USA to start a class action suit, there's also a really strong case to suggest an "unfair and deceptive trade practice".
My guess is by extended the warranty they've offered a "reasonable" settlement in anticipation of liability?
OMG is this a...

Hello Chris thanks for reaching out
Norway, in my imagination it's so fantastic to ride, is it what's called "Alpine"?
Rode the Levo this morning 90F degrees, keep moving, keep cool! It's my favorite bike, the Orbea and the Rail 9.8 also great, just not a Levo. Motor is...

I ride 2021 carbon pro, in fact just picked up from the shop. Thought I'd see if they'd replace the noisy motor before it fails, nope. There's only one thing wrong with this electric bike,
...."the motor"! I'm on #4 and #5 is a few miles away. I'm actually trying to do this...

Hello @brizi2003
Have you noticed any increased durability from the rebuilds of your motors? Please explain about the experience as much detail as you can stand. I'm seriously thinking of sending my next (warranty) replacement motor to Bearingman to see if it helps? I don't...

8 motors across three bikes. (SWITCH TO BOSCH FCS) Ninth motor is failing but working, so Specialized declined replacement. they've been fantastic about warranty and refunds. At the next failure I'm going to send the new motor across the "pond" and get it upgraded on the DL...

High Rock Ruti's new nick name "The Brose KIller". I absolutely love that RS
I wish for the life of me I could figure out if it's me or the motors, I'd much rather have a working bike than a free warranty replacement, did I say free?.....for $13,000 USD free. I know for sure that I'm not the...
