    Answered How much less should you pay...

    ...for a new battery that is a year old? Pretty sure the lithium ion cells degrade even with use which means the 504 watt hour rating should be lower, right?

    Unexpected Shut Downs

    So it happened again today after a lazy ride using boost all the way up climbs. I felt the battery and it wasn’t hot at all. Then i felt the motor and there was definitely some heat but I wouldn’t call it over the top. So if it is the temperature sensor shutting it down, should i see a W010...

    Unexpected Shut Downs

    I crash a lot haha so I can’t remember but I’ll try checking the cables. It has only happened after riding for a long time and climbing around 800 metres so I thought maybe the motor is getting hot. If that is the cause then I’ll be screwed in summer when it’s 35 degrees every day.

    Unexpected Shut Downs

    No not like that. It doesn’t reboot. It shuts off.

    Unexpected Shut Downs

    Hey, The last few rides I have been getting unexpected shut downs of the motor. It's usually after about an hour and a half of riding. It boots back up and then sometimes shuts down again quickly. Usually it comes good though. Is it from heat maybe? Or something else, should I be worried...

    New Garmin Edge with Shimano Steps integration

    Yeah that’s the gist of what i read. How much is the junction? I can’t even see where to buy one from a quick google search.

    New Garmin Edge with Shimano Steps integration

    Does anyone with an e8000 had success connecting their garmin edge 530? The can’t get a successful connection and read somewhere you need a special cable.

    What Sort of Range Do You Get e8000?

    The first bar on mine seems to go a bit quicker than out of the box even though I've only done about 1000kms. I know range is dependent on many many factors but I get just over 1000 metres of climbing from a full charge in bike park conditions. The main climbs I do are 2016 world cup XC climbs.

    Battery lock won't open

    yeah mine is a pita as well. i have to be very patient as i always take the battery out for charging and keep it stored inside. i tried wd40 but i still have to jiggle the key a fair bit to get it to comply.

    Unanswered How Does Shimano Know If You've Derestricted Your Bike?

    Agreed! I basically cruise at 30kph with my basassbox. For once the yanks have it right :)

    Surely one day some rich dude will test this in the courts somewhere eventually. It's not illegal to derestrict on private land plus there are sometimes legitimate reasons to derestrict, like big jumps with short run ins.

    wow, i totally forgot about this thread. the main benefit with my bike derestiction is in the commute home from trails (mainly home because i ride to the tracks with motor off) and i only sit on 30-35kph anyway BUT it is also helpful on a few trails where you come down a steep descent and need...

    Who knows? What i read (probably here) is that all warranty jobs have some sort of diagnostics from the motors usage sent to shimano. It’s probably bullshit but I’d be interested to know. Surely dealers could answer the question

    Did the magnet on the pedals for 10kms until it threw an error. Then bought a badass doover. It’s cool because you just move the magnet an inch or two to switch from restricted to derestricted.
