    EP8 swap labor time

    In the videos there are two wires to plug into the side of the motor and the third plugs into the battery. I have not seen a video over 30 minutes at regular speed (no skipped parts or fast forwarding) but it is good to know the range of time. Thanks for the details…

    EP8 swap labor time

    Not that lucky… the LBS informed me two days ago that, yes, Shimano wanted it back… I was already planning the spindle replacement if I did though..

    EP8 swap labor time

    Thank you both for responding, I watched a couple videos and as long as you have the right bottom bracket tools it seems very fast. Thanks!

    So do we like these new lite bikes?

    This is one of the reasons that the Orbea Rise does so well… smaller w/option for a second.

    So do we like these new lite bikes?

    My wife and I own and really enjoy light weight ebikes. I am currently w/o my ebike as the spindle broke and in warranty limbo so riding my new analog bike… I can do everything with it that I can with the ebike only slower. When you go slower the ride becomes more technical and you get to...

    Replacement Wheels for the Race Face AR30C's

    Let us know how they work out as they are really cool looking… I have I9 hubs and the high engagement really helps in the tech areas… gives more confidence in my ability to balance at slower speeds

    Replacement Wheels for the Race Face AR30C's

    I went the enduro route with my carbon wheel upgrade as I use it as my big mountain bike so I personally agree with you

    EP8 swap labor time

    Estimated labor time for EP8 swap at a certified dealer? I would do it myself if they would let me and still be warranted. Also, will Shimano want the broken motor back?

    Replacement Wheels for the Race Face AR30C's

    The Rise is more like an analog bike than a FF 80+nm bike that weighs 50+ pounds… the question is are they saying this for ebike in general or not.

    Sticking power button

    I tried the trick today where you roll the rear wheel backwards 3 times to see if the system would stay on and it worked! You have to make sure they are continuous.

    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    Thanks Rod, The shop I purchased it from does not sell Orbea anymore and is in another state anyway... I am getting a motor from Orbea according to the LB since it has to be programmed down to 60nm max... Thanks for the tip on the dropper post/shift cables, I will have them look at it and...

    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    My current status is that it looks like Orbea is replacing my motor and cranks but not clear yet if labor is going to be covered.. my LB has been very good about keeping me up to date on communication with Orbea. Hoping for the best but I don’t have the bike back yet…

    Anyone update to the Shimano 4.1.9

    Just did it for my wife’s M-Team and yes I go the double flashing red lights, powered down and back up, all better now… my M10 is getting a new motor because of the cracked spindle which completely busted off… I hope it is on its way from Spain by now

    Spiff, can you point me to this in writing as what I have been able to find is not that detailed from Shimano

    Broken Bottom bracket “like” crank connection on EP8 RS

    That would be a massive issue with me if they don’t fix it. This is not even close to a “maybe” for me

    Broken Bottom bracket “like” crank connection on EP8 RS

    Orbea decided to put the e13 cranks on it…

    Instant engagement hubs on the Rise?

    I9’s are great! Also better at slow tech

    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    When they replace the motor will I get Shimano cranks so it does not happen again?
