    EP8 motor won’t turn on

    That was my optimistic opinion: remove damaged cover, plug the loose connector and buy a new cover for 15€. The pessimistic opinion would have been that the 0,2€ motor connector is badly damaged and it is required to replace the whole motor to fix it at a cost of 1000€, but prior to that...

    STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

    Hi @vadll, in E8000 at 4.8.0, does the PREMIUM LICENSE, allow to change wheel circumference and Motor Angle? I just read the STUNLOCKER manual, and these features have 4.8.0 in RED colour, so I am ot sure if it will work.

    E7000 motor clicking creaking noise

    If your bike is in warranty, I'd ride until it's dead and then get a warranty replacement. If you are going to buy a motor, then buy the E8000, it is compatible with E7000 but more robust and less prone to fail.

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    In September 2018 before buying my ebike I did a motor comparison and the winner was Shimano: More powerful, lighter, smaller. But then Bosch Gen4 was released. If I were to buy a new bike now I'd chose Bosch. And that's what I am telling to my friends that are planning to buy an ebike. I...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Then my battery is following the script: At 0 Cycles it was 100% At 10 cycles it went to 90% Today it it 20 cycles and it went down to 87% So my plan is to use it as primary battery (usage is about 4 cycles per month) so at 18 months it will have 60 cycles (And at 24 months 84 cycles) and...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Then you are lucky, because everybody, including myself, is having a range reduction. I record all my rides in a Garmin GPS, and I include manually the % of battery left, and if I compare the tracks of the same route when the battery was at 100% and now when the battery is at 90%, the...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    The complete Torque Sensor = Electronic PCB + Shaft with potted sensors + Small PCB with white wires. IMHO, if all the above is replaced with parts from the good donor motor, then the Torque Sensor Set should still be calibrated.

    Shimano E8000 - E010 / E01020 / E01021 madness

    Torque sensor and its electronics are not paired to the Main Electronics PCB. Asuming that the W013 is only a defective Torque Sensor, then the easiest way would be to move a good Torque sensor from a donor motor with E10 Error to the motor that is having the W013 Torque sensor error. EDIT...
