Why is it just a Shimano issue, Santa Cruz designed, along with Shimano, a specific tune for the motor, they could have bought the stock tune which everyone else is happy with, I bought the Yeti 160e, 1500 miles and not one issue, seems to.me that SC/ Pon Industries, should stick to making bikes...
Wherever and whoever you bought it from need to be told that you will inform your credit card company to issue a section 75, they will issue a chargback against the retailer resulting in you receiving a full refund, don't suffer poor service, it's a buyers market.
Too often bike brands are making the customer suffer blaming OE components, the contract is with the shop you purchased it from, you need to light a fire under the retailer, if not purchased direct from SC, as its their responsibility, if nothing works then you need to issue a section 75 with...
So surely that's a Madison, they're the UK distributor, issue and not Shimano’s, example, I returned a 10 day old Yeti 160e to my LBS, Eco mode not working, motor returned to Yeti UK ( SILVERFISH ), new motor replaced in 4 days, if the particular distributors for varying bike manufacturers gave...

There's some excellent deals to be had on the Yeti 160e, T series for around £9k and the C series around £8k, if the bike has the Shimano 801 ( refreshed from the 800 - see Shimano website for details of the motor ) as it allows for free shift and auto shift when paired with Di2, more...
The causes are the same, Amazon is an e-commerce company who people thought were immune from the influences of bricks and mortar retailers, the cost of living crisis, interest rates etc has made people realise that they're not, the same outside influences are affecting the bike industry, if the...
Everyone has stock to shift and with the marked being over subscribed with product and reduced demand discount is the only way forward for many manufacturers, maybe YT have an update coming so need to free up capacity and revenue, and don't forget that the new 750wh battery is probably an...
It's not unique to the bike industry plus they have invested $14 million in purchasing the old Pearl Izumi facility to use as an innovation facility.
Any company with a focus on the future has to be agile in order to stay ahead of the game, because they are one of the largest companies in the...
