    Shimano e8000 voltages

    You have to configure in software the parameter LIGHT ON using etube, and then the battery will reserve part of the juice for the light power to avoid running out of battery when light is on and causing a safety hazard, thus available Km autonomy will be reduced.

    Chain longevity

    My Ghost Kato FS L size uses a 116 link chain, so I buy the 116 one, which is cheaper and I do not have to cut it. So check the lenght of your chain and if it is a 116 link then you are lucky like myself

    Anyone dealt with 4mybike in Germany selling E-8000 motors on Ebay?

    4Mybike eBay ad shows a warning that FW level of the motors they are selling is 4.3.2, which was released by Shimano on Dec 21th 2017, newer FW version 4.3.4 was released on Jan 16th 2018, so these motors were manufactured before Jan 16th 2018, which does not mean they are bad motors, but...

    Swapping in new e8000 motor with an old firmware loaded to computer?

    If the "computer" is the display, then yes, you can replace the motor. But it is required to configure the new motor parameters: Wheel circumference and motor angle and you need to know the values for your bike, as stored in the old motor. Your store should be able to do it for you or you may...

    Which is your bike and battery? Mine has an external battery BT-E8016 and it is possible to adjust the upper mounting bracket to reduce battery play. But I do not know for internal batteries

    Check also that the round motor connector plugs firmly in place and secured and to take it out you have to move the conector sleeve. Check also that the pins inside the conector and motor look fine and do not show signs of corrosion.

    e8000 no assist zero cadence while pedaling

    E010 is a generic error, meaning that power to motor starts but is removed after a few mS because there is an unknown error on any part of the Steps system. Check battery connector and battery to motor connector for damaged pins. Check for unplugged, dirty or pinched cables to display, motor...

    Motor binding up

    I suppose you do this test to the motor alone, I mean wheels (mainly rear hub) and brakes are not involved. Then, this looks like a problem with a motor internal bearing, gearwheel or clutch that has a problem. If you are lucky and the problem is a bearing then it can be replaced at a low...

    Shimano 630W Battery Life Poll

    I read that Shimano may detect the use of TPM software if: * You change a setting to a value that is not available in Shimano etube * You derestrict the motor, and later restrict it again. But motot may keep log of high power usage not available in normal use. If no settings are changed, it...

    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    I do not pay attention to what he says, he is just a grumpy person looking to create conflicts where they dont exist so I just ignore him, but looks like this infuriates him even more and chases me and my posts in forums, and he even digs up a three month old post just to explain how good and...

    What does the mount angle setting do?

    The theories about the motor angle and "walk mode" are good, but the motor angle is also important for the motor normal assistance, the motor needs to know the angle at which the rider starts pushing the pedals and providing "human torque" so the motor modulates its power each revolution...
