Not sure if there is a thread on this already, but thought it would be good for the Photography enthusiasts to post pics of their pride & joy/rideouts here. I'll start us off :)

I managed to get 40 miles and 3024ft of climbing running the battery from full to empty. ECO mode 90% and Trail for 10% of the ride. Not too bad

Nice! I went for the e-sommet as wanted the longer travel, but I wish the sommet had the Shimano brakes off the e-escarpe... Get the E8000 motor guard on there as a minimum I reckon. I fitted it to my Deore E-Sommet - takes some filing down but will fit and is better than nothing.

Duct tape is the simplest and cheapest option

awesome, thx R120!

Hmmm, anyone tried the simplest option here?

2020 E-Sommet with the Shimano E7000 motor

Hi Folks, the mandatory 15.5mph motor cut out is just a tad too slow imo. Has anyone derestricted/tweaked the motor cutout threshold? If so, I'd be interested in the preferred method - has anyone tried moving the rear sensor to near the cranks to fool the system? I'm aware that this will of...

My 2020 Deore E-Sommet (arrived last week) didn't have a Motor Guard fitted as standard. When I contacted CRC/Wiggle, they pointed me to the E8000 E-Sommet plastic motor guard (which needs a little modification to fit). I have gone for this and will be wielding my hacksaw/sander to make it...

Thanks guys, good advice. I took it for a 22 mile ride at the weekend with 1500ft of climbing. Went from full battery to 2 notches left (half left). Not sure how accurate the range reading is though....

Just wondered what the typical battery range is on an e-sommet with an E7000 motor? If you start from a full battery and use a typical mix of Eco/Trail/Boost on a ride, what sort of mileage can be expected? 50 miles?

I think Vitus call it "Military Green"

Box-fresh beastie reporting for duty!

Thx Gary. I will pick up on one of the threads already in motion on the DIY options. I have also contacted Rockguardz to see if they have a 3rd party solution as couldn't see anything else from initial searches....

Thanks Gary - yes I mean a motor guard. I did do a forum search and found quite a few threads on home made solutions - but couldn't find anything about a OEM solution...

Hi all, new owner of a Vitus E-Sommet here (Deore, E7000 version). Looking forward to chatting through experiences with other owners. Also interested in the perennial "What bash guard will fit this bike?" question!! (edited to include a box-fresh bike pic!)
