    Vitus/Shimano E8000 range issues

    Thanks Steve and good points but, although not on roads all of the time currently, the drop off in range between both of the bikes occured when my bike was giving me 60 mpc, or thereabouts. We do usually ride the same trail, at the same time and in the same manner, so it's a puzzle for us. This...

    Vitus/Shimano E8000 range issues

    Hi Lads and Lasses, I need some more help please, if you can. My wife and I bought our bikes from Wiggle 16 month ago.

    STUnlocker iOS App for Shimano motors is available

    I'd love to change my E-Sommet to the US settings and Vadll's app sounds abolutely great, but I have almost a year to run on my E8000 warranty and I'm worried that I may invalidate this. Peaky Rider, when you had your motor issue sorted under warranty, did the changes you'd made cause you any...
