Was anyone able to get the single bolt replaced? The only option at my local dealer (in Germany) is a "pivot set" (K0330019039 for the sam2) for 90€, and shipping being being delayed to at least mid-october.
The source of the creaking seems to come from the shock mounting moving directly on the...
But if assist is tied to pedal input, the battery drains faster the harder I pedal.
That's why I set my limits low. Pedaling harder with a lower limit, means I reach the limit sooner and put in more of my own power instead of using more battery.
On default settings I get 28km, 800-900m pretty consistently out of my 378Wh Focus.
Tuning assist and torque levels hasn't made much difference for me. No matter how I change the assist % , if I put in more power, the motor will put in more power aswell.
That's why i recently started tweaking...
Thanks for linking those.
That's definitely the same noise as on my bike.
After reading the linked german pedelecforums thread, i conclude that (almost) all E8000 Motors seem to have the issue (even new ones in the bikeshop) or develop this after a few hundred KM. One or two said the issue is...
I noticed the same, more as feeling on the pedals than noise though.
Recently I started turning the motor off for the downhills. Not sure if it got rid of the issue, but it definitely reduced the problem.
Also noticed my cassette was slightly loose, might be something to check to reduce noise.
The question is if you really need the 10mm more travel. Do you feel like you bottom out too often or your fork is too stiff while using full travel?
Even small changes in travel also changes the bikes geometry.
Sure the display shows the battery level, but is there a way to view the exact battery percentage during a ride?
So far I have only found the "ST Unlocker" app, but it requires shutting down the bike and the motor isn't working while the app is connected. :(
