Bearing Man for the previous 7,800 miles I had been riding my Ebike with the E8000 motor there has been less than 2” of rain and there has been very little dust due to our rock hard trail tread where I live.
Due to my motor being under warranty I can’t open it up to see how much dirt entered...
Thank you. Can you advise at what total mileage you would recommend that a bearing service should be done to preserve the longevity of the E8000 motor?
spr0cket thanks for the post. Do you have the make and numbers of all the bearings you ordered from Performance Line Bearings? I live in the US and don’t know if they ship here.
For me personally the 29’er 2.6” EC’s work great. Due to the thick casing you can run lower tire pressure, if that is important to you.
I actually run a 27.5 2.8” EC on my other Ebike and really like it also. I have had a flat due to a ripped sidewall with a light weight tire with no tube and...
On the Levo SL, I like the 2.6 Eddy Current front and rear. We have lots of rocks in the area I ride and those sidewalls hold up to the abuse better than several of the above mentioned tires.
I love flats. I ride a lot of super technical trails and don’t have to be concerned about a sticky clip. I have seen a lot of injuries with riders not in-clipping due to sand in the spring area. I have kept from getting injured several times.
None of the choices apply to me. Ebiking allows me to ride every day, so to keep from being injured a try to ride within my skill set. I where protective gear every ride, to reduce the risk of knee or shin injury.
In my younger years I was a fairly advance skilled rider. Now I tend to be more...
My weight is 172 lbs., so total weight about 180lbs.
98% of riding is in dry conditions
The terrain is up and down with several chunky sections.
Rides are usually in the 20 mile range.
Climbing approx 1,800’
The bike weighs 147lbs.
One thing I have always tried to do when constructing a nice user created trail is to build the trail as good as the land manager could or hopefully better than the land manager would. The reason for constructing a trail as good as or better than the land manager is so at some point in the...
Well I have been building and maintaining mountain bike trails for over 30 years. I started to build trails soon after I started mountain biking.
My first new trail was in the coastal mountains south of San Francisco. There was a 2,300 acre Open Space Preserve that previously was a motorcycle...
I have purchased an E8000 Euro motor to replace my dead E8000 motor, that I had put on 7,796 miles. The Euro motor has a cutoff at 15mph. I live in the US and would like a 20 mph limit.
Can I get the 20 mph limit out of the Euro motor with the STunlocker app, even if I have 4.9 firmware? I...
I have just purchased a new E8000 motor for my Ebike. I am trying to take off the power cord where it attaches to the motor. Does anyone know the proper procedure to remove the plug? I can’t find any videos or written info as to the proper procedure. Any help would be appreciated.
Also how is...
When I click on the link nothing shows up. Does anyone know how to take off the E8000 spider that the chain ring mounts on? I want to split the case and replace the bearings.
To give an update on my 15 month old E8000 motor with 7,800 miles on it, shortly after doing the above 1/22/2021 post I started to have an issue with the motor not supplying the normal torque that i was having in hundreds of previous rides. Long story shortened, I took the bike to a local...
So I have a E8000 motor that has 7,800 miles on it. In anticipation of a future need to replace the bearings I checked with a local NSK bearing distributor in Arizona, USA and gave him the list of bearings previously listed. He was only able to find one listed in his database. When I checked the...
