So my 2018 e 8000 on my meta power is starting to clank after watching the Scottsman’s disassembly on YouTube, my original motor needs to probably get some new bearings and lube which of course can’t happen without a right to repair attitude from Shimano. so I decided to buy a second motor...
I just bought a second Shimano e8000 motor. Cost shipped was $1200. How much is your retrofit going to cost ? Shimano has decided to at least make motors available for purchase. The retrofit is ,I’m sure, a super fun mciver but is it really worth it vs slapping on a new motor???
My e8000 motor on my 2018 COMMENCAL is making a variety of noises at 4500 miles. It’s most likely needing a mechanical overhaul with bearings and lube. Supposedly Shimano USA will have fresh e8000 motors stocked around October. While I’m thinking second ebike, I’m going for a new motor at $1000...
So Gary is probably correct that sane e bikers should just chuck the ex1 and do something like the desore pictured cheapie but quality 10 speed cassette. Being of questionable sanity is too decided that there are things about the ex1 system that I still find desirable. The range for one in...
So the Shimano torque sensor is internal to the engine case? And Shimano can't or won't simply replace the faulty component and now how to replace the entire motor. Am I the only one that is a bit miffed by this. And come 2 years you get to pay for this ?? This is a problem for me.
Before I bought my commencal 2018 meta power 27.5+ AT 2018 sea otter, I demoed the pivot version ie the shuttle I guess it was called. My meta was 5k the pivot was 10k. I actually liked the meta more.
I almost , and I mean really almost bought a rise. I had driven down from Sedona where we...
Let's not get too dark here concerning a new motors failings especially in repair and warrenty. But I'm not about to argue the opposite. Let me help folks who want longevity in their ride:don't over heat the motor controller etc. That means when it's 105 degrees avoid boost etc. Also avoid...
Well my buddy Neal got a carbon rise and it's weight is 38lbs. Yes no coil. A dvo coil would add a lb. But yes to weight creep as you get burlier.
As for forget ever seeing a decent warrenty: so far I'm not arguing with you.
If that little building is where all the motors are going to be...
Have you checked the clutch ternion on the rear derailleur. That's the one thing that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread. And it's the one thing that will also do what you're complaining about. The Shimano derailleur has an adjustable clutch tensioner for the rear derailleur. With the...
Especially impressed with the full immersion test in a beaker of water. Obviously if the battery is removable water ingress there will also be an issue.
I have a 2018 commencal meta power which is a heavy beastie as well as a pivot 429. A pivot version of this motor should be pretty nuke...
