    E8000 loss of power

    Yeah, still have it. Didn't get worse or anything. Just showes up once in a while but not really often, so I restart the system and everything works fine again.

    STUnlocker warning

    It sounds like they admitted that they used the app to read out battery health. Just don't admit that you ever used an app like Stunlocker and tell them that you read out battery health with either the tablet version or the interface via the desktop app on firmware versions lower than 4.9.0 I...

    Shimano EP801 is coming

    I hope they got rid of the rattle. Although its weird that the Scott Ransom Eride that my sister got is almost rattle free. But most other EP8-bikes seem to be horribly noisy.

    STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

    But why does the app show the tire circumfence as not stock? I never changed it.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    So now my battery from 2019 degraded to 93%. The mileage is actually a little more, maybe close to 4k km as I deactivated the motor on longer descents. I took this afte the first 5 rides of the season so idk when it jumped from 97% when I stored it in atumnd to 93% but its interesting that I...

    EP8 range

    I really hate that not one news outlet bothers to do comparable tests on a stand. Only in this case we could really find out how the motors compare. But in general the shimano is one of the lightest and smallest 'power' motors while bosch seems to set its focus on power and range. This also...

    STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

    I think I have Firmware 4.8 and the last time I connected Stunlocker after a long time it showed me a warning that I changed some settings which I never did. I just used it to get percentage values of soc and health. So what does this mean?

    Highest Mileage Steps E8000 Motor

    I dunno, I can hear rattling on most bumps in the vid. The sad part is that it gor worse with the EP8 compared with the e8000, where the rattling only occurs on really rough parts of the trail. And I can only speak for e8000 where it seems it isn't really a frame resonance issue but as heard in...

    Is it possible to change the bearings without the bearing press? Would be nice if you could give some infos or maybe sell them over etsy if its not too complicated. At one point we could make a how to so more people can change their bearings. But at first it should be clear that all the needed...

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

    Very interesting! Keep up the good work! Would be nice if you could do this with batteries from other manufacturers aswell also with measurements over time so that we can see how the batteries degrade over time.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    After 3000km I need to mount a new chain and from the drive side I hear the following noise and when holding the crank arm I feel a slight harshness compared to the other side. Anybody knows if this is normal as new motors have this too or do I have to fit new bearings...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    It is a pretty good comparison though. Higher Power draw when its hot outside will degrade the battery faster. It's even worse for electric cars. If you would race comparable cars one electric and one gas engine on a a racetrack you can do that with the gas powered car at pretty low cost for...

    Modified Sinewave Inverter to Power Shimano Charger?

    I use this one in my van because of its small size: Dometic SinePower DSP 412 - Sinus-Wechselrichter, 350 W, 12 V It works so far even if it developed some noise over the winter break which went away after use and its flimsy cables (which you can change without opening it). I think the EC 6000...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Mine now dropped to 97%. I have more like 3000km on it because I often don't power on the system on long descents. I almost never empty the battery completely. I did it maybe once or twice and overall not much more then 10 times below 10% SOC I believe. I also only charge it to 90 or 100% when I...

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

    Great post by jimbob! Battery technology is complex and to assess which ebike batteries are the "best" you would have to test them over a window of years and not only one from each manufacturer but batches, because one or two bad cells in a battery pack will limit its performance significantly...
