    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Hi S13, I have a quick question about a two year old post and your 2020 E8000, you said that " the assembly with Torque sensor and large gear are bonded to the long Crankshaft, and that there is no way to get it off" . Was this final or you found a way to remove it. If it is not possible to...

    Strange W013 (and intermittent E010) problems after dissasembly

    Yes it is extrange, but it looks that something in the assembly is not correcr. Also, check that you installed the shim washers and plugged all cables and that the cables, mainly the flex from the Torque sensor, is not pinched or damaged.

    Strange W013 (and intermittent E010) problems after dissasembly

    I'd check: The assembly of gears and bearings, so that they are assembled correctly. New bearings rotation, fitting and assembly and also the old ones, like the cage bearings Sprague clutches inside large gears are working correctly Grease gears with Molykote PG75 Good Luck!!! and keep us posted.

    Strange W013 (and intermittent E010) problems after dissasembly

    The only change in your motor are the new bearings and the big ones are in the crankshaft, and the warning is related to the torque sensor in the crankshaft , that's why they are suspect number 1.

    Strange W013 (and intermittent E010) problems after dissasembly

    W013, is not an error but a Warning, it normally happens when the Torque sensor can not initialize at Power On because pedals are already rotating. But if there is an E010 after it, then bike powers off and does not provide assistance. If you changed bearings, it could be that they are not...

    Garmin Explore Battery change: Looking for info

    I own a Garmin Edge Explore (just Exolore, there is no other number suffix), which is 3 years en 4 months old and the battery is not lasting as long as before. I tried the Power Saving function, but it has a bug that makes the GPS freeze and Garmin support answer is that they do not know how to...

    shimano ep8 update problem

    If you have the Diagnostic Interface Shimano SM-PCE02, you can plug it to your bike and use a laptop to finish the FW update. Else, yo'll have to go to your LBS and they´ll do this for you.

    Shimano EP801 code E914

    Ok, then it is not Shimano fault. As the EP801 battery interface is new, it might be that that the non Shimano battery has compatibilty issues.

    Shimano EP801 code E914

    It is not SC to blame, but Shimano. SC just integrated a Shimano Steps System that is supposed to work. SC does not test drive every bike, they just trust the components from Shimano and other suppliers.

    2021 Cube Stereo 160 Pivot Bearing Replacement

    UPDATE: The biggest issue with this method is to screw the bolt that opens the anchor and tightens it inside the bearing inner race. The inner race rotates so to tighten the bolt you have to grip the anchor with a plier, but it is quite difficult to grip it. So I just soldered a 10mm NUT to the...

    2021 Cube Stereo 160 Pivot Bearing Replacement

    I tried also the Dyna bolt and it didn't work for me either. But the "Brass Anchor Sleeve" worked well. I know about the BearingProTool, although the pictures in their web are not of the 8mm 688 one, but a larger one, and I fear that the 688 one will have a 1mm wall between a 6mm bolt and a...

    2021 Cube Stereo 160 Pivot Bearing Replacement

    Some time ago I was able to remove the 688 drop-out bearings (8mm inner race) in my 2006 Stumpjumper, and in some days I will remove the ones in my Ghost ebike and I am posting below the process I am following. The 688 drop-out bearings will need to be pulled out from each side of the frame’s...

    E8000 wrecked cogs

    Because of the products reliability and customer support, Shimano is shooting itself in both feet and Bosch and others are taking over the ebike market by storm. And it is a pity because Shimano was once a great company, until they released the Steps motor and batteries and chose benefit over...

    You can see the error code here: https://si.shimano.com/en/um/7K10A/led_error_indication But looks like it is: Battery overcurrent protection occurred. If it occurs during charging, remove and reconnect the charging plug. If the situation does not improve, have the place of purchase...

    Those two small pins in power connector

    The battery communicates with motor through these two thin wires, the rest of the communications in the bike componentes (Motor to display, display to Assistance selector,...) go through the DI2 type coaxial cables.
