So... The story continues I managed to kill the replacement motor in under 200km. This time while descending a locla DH track, I got a E010 warning. Now when I start up the bike I get a W013(Torque sensor not initializing) Immediately followed by E010.
Looks like @Gary is right and E7000 motors...
@Rallysaloon bought one of your bash guards, very impressed until I went to fit it. It doesn’t seem to fit an E7000 motor ??♂️.
How easy is it to heat it and shape it a bit more?

@Gary and @R120 what do yous think? Is the pic below overkill?
I’ve cut motofoam and filled mud pocket and then taped up from the bottom. The shock moves freely and water can still get out. ??♂️
I’ve also motofoamed above the motor.
So CRC have been pretty awesome. Even though there’s no warranty they have changed out the motor for another with 380km. Pretty gutted it’s another E7000, but it’s free. So can’t complain.
Hopefully this one lasts long enough until the new motor is released.

It’s an awesome bike. Unfortunately the motor packed in last week at 1211km, currently back at Chainreaction to see what they can do. As it’s an ex demo I have no warranty, but they seem keen to get me going again!
I’m really hesitant to drop £850 on a E8000 as it’s 4 year old tech and there’s a new motor due in October I think.
From what I gather E7000 is a throw away item, E8000 bearings can be done but no more.
Tri-Sport have just agreed to take back the motor, so hopefully they will swap it out. I...
So Tri-Sport have been in touch, As I am not the original owner as it was a demo bike, I am not entitled to any warranty. They are willing to take the bike back to run diagnostics on it to decide how to proceed. I am really not keen to ship the whole bike back as its guaranteed to get damaged by...
Does anyone know where to buy a E8000 motor from at the moment? Google search isn’t very helpful.
Would Madison sell one or do they just do exchanges for warranty ones?
@R120 It was bought from Tri-sport resort. Who I believe is Wiggle/CRCs Ebay site. The advert did very clearly state that there is no warranty, but Im assuming that was the bike. The Shimano Warranty should hopefully still apply.

Hi,
So whilst out on my Ebike last night the motor started making a strange whirring noise and loosing power, the noise then change to a clicking/tappingsound and then very quickly a grinding sound, now the bike has no assist.
When you pedal the motor tries to assist, but it just spins and...
Hi @goroncy i have a medium e-sommet and have tried a 170mm oneup and brand-x. I am 5ft 9 and the one up fits no bother, but the brand x I am going to have to shim to 160mm. But at 5ft 11 I guess either would work for you.
Hi driftmonkey,
Ive done the same, Ive filed down the edge on the e8000 guard and fitted it. Its got to be better than nothing!
The bike was making a really weird noise after 2 rides, wasn't sure what it was but ended up taking the covers off of the motor, and you wouldn't believe the amount...
Hi so I just bought a 2019 Vitus Sommet Deore from trisport resort.
Vitus E-Sommet Electric MTB (Deore 1x10) 2019 Red-Black Medium 27.5" (650b) | eBay
It needed a display and charger, Ive ordered the E7000 display as im not fussed about a pretty colourful screen. And I have ordered a EC-E6002...
