    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    We live in nanny-states. What happened to the human decency, judgement and accountability. Because we have cars capable of going +100mph doesn’t mean we will do that in town. I am sure that when the horses were invented, someone wanted to put a speed restrictor, so they invented reins [emoji12]

    Who's had COVID?

    My first jab of AZ, I felt a little weaker that day, I had one small glass of wine in the eve and I got very drunk(?) the next day hangover, and all good again. My second AZ jab, I have not noticed anything that day, no C2H5OH that eve and no residual effects [emoji2957]

    Bosch Domination?

    I enjoy climbing up as much as hurling down the hill. It is a vastly different experience and gives me diff type of exercise.

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    I updated the f/w to 4.1.6 and I can no longer change the Market settings. The ST-U app shows that it is possible, but during the update process it fails and reverts to the current setting. Clearly there was some kind of glitch in the system, and sadly it is now rectified, but downgrade takes 5...

    Using Strava with emtb & regular bike

    I recently discovered the eBike Ride category on Strava and I went back through my records to re-classify my rides. Sadly, there are very few eBike segments where I ride, so I will have to do some creative maintenance [emoji12]

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    I haven’t done 4.1.6 to 4.15, but I am convinced that it would be as easy as going to 4.0.2, ie, 5-min job. Also it turns out that I am not the only one being able to change the Market setting after the f/w upgrade [emoji41]

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    Great, so it is def undocumented feature. The Reg Log shows EU The eBike Info shows US I upgraded back to 4.1.5 and I can still change the Market settings.

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    Can you change Market settings with 4.1.6? I can still change between US and EU with 4.1.5, which I am told I shouldn’t be able to(?)

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    So interesting part is that I have followed the eMax-tuning procedure and I downgraded f/w to 4.0.2 which allows to change the Market settings. Using the ST-U app I have set it to US market and subsequently upgraded it to 4.1.5, anticipating that now I have bricked the US setting, to benefit...

    What’s your hobby?

    @TPEHAK , it is truly amazing what you have done! You have fabricated a motorcycle, based on Buell frame and motor… I was planning to buy 1980’s BMW R100 (toaster tank), strip it, rebuild and customise it, then RnineT came out, anniversary bike 90 years of BMW motorcycles, so I snatched one...

    Very cool retro ebike. Looks like from 1960’s. Do you still have it? It will become a collector’s piece.

    Shimano Charger versus Bosch

    I have relatively new bike with EP8 motor and shipped with E6000 charger. It states output of 42V = 4A. It does take few hours to charge, but I understand that charging with lower current preserves battery life, so I am not concerned, however, I would like to find a fast portable charger I...

    Shimano EP8 Firmware

    I found the log of releases but it’s incomplete: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/e-tube/project/firmware/detail.html?model=DU-EP800 I am certainly not motivated to do f/w 4.1.6
