    Would ep801 put you off buying a bike ?

    I have an Orbea Rise with 2000miles on it. The EP8 has never missed a beat for me and so far I'd definitely buy another EP8 bike. Keeping water especially hoses or jet washes away from your motors is critical no matter what brand motor you choose.

    Not an EP8 rattle when pedaling

    I have a 2022 M10 Rise which does the same. Pretty sure the rattle is from the top tube between the shock and seat tube and not from the motor. It comes and goes as if something is rattling around in there. It's very annoying and difficult to ignore. I can only assume that something ended up in...

    Shimano EP8 Cranks

    Annoying rattle in Orbea Rise carbon frame

    Has anyone had or got a rattle in their carbon Rise frame. I have an annoying one in the top tube between the shock mount and the seat post. There is definitely something in there. I've tried removing the fork to try and shake out what ever it is but it stays in that area. I wonder is it...

    Is it me? Second faulty EP8 after 315 miles total…

    Hi Chris 1200 trouble free miles so far on my Orbea Rise. General trails with a few jumps etc. I'm hoping that the detuned EP8 RS will last longer than a standard tune because it's not working as hard but who knows. Out of interest how quickly / easily did you manage to get replacement motors...
