    Steps E8000 odd sound

    As the engines aren’t serviceable I would think about booking in at Shimano centre but trying to ride as much as possible in the mean time and break it Properly while it’s still under warranty. Have heard of some people with motors that are on their way to breaking (noisy etc) that have been...

    E-sommet is fantastic

    First time e bike owner and got the E-sommet VR a week ago, I have done 165km on it so far all on offload single track and mini DH runs. The bike is quick and nimble when at speed and really ploughs roots when need be. I'm 5'10 and very happy with the medium if that helps anyone. I don't feel...

    is the E7000 to weak?

    Mine seems good but I haven’t done much more than 10 min steep climbs and I agree does seem to prefer spinning a high cadence.

    Steps chain device sacrificial rubber

    Just noticed CRC had left my chain rubbing on the lower rubber part of the chain device and it’s already pretty much worn away. Is it possible to just replace that small part of rubber. Should of checked it before.

    Raise pedals???

    I guess it all adds up as would larger volume tyres, between all of those things you might gain an extra inch or two depending on sag.

    E7000 odd sound

    Just got my Vitus and loving it, have done about 75k in the last few days, today I stopped on an uphill without changing down gear then tried to restart from zero cadence in boost and the motor made a bit of a weird slipping sound as it tried to engage. It then worked fine for the rest of the...

    How many Kms have you done on that motor?

    Raise pedals???

    Little more air in the shocks would keep the ride height up a bit, lower profile pedals will help as can shorter cranks. Does your ebike have longer travel than your previous bikes? that could be the issue.

    Couple of e7000 questions

    is the E7000 to weak?

    Oh cool, that’s even better, can you set it at 55nm?

    is the E7000 to weak?

    Can you do that on the e tube app? Or do you have to use Stunlocker? Which I guess would void the warranty :-(. Glad it’s working tho, that’s good to know ?

    My spanking new Vitus E Sommet VRS 2020

    Mine was officially declared lost twenty odd days after ordering and going in about 5 different email circles. Was offered replacement or refund. It’s by far the best bike for the money so have gone for replacement. It’s being put together at the moment so we’ll see if I receive this one- only...

    My spanking new Vitus E Sommet VRS 2020

    Great info thanks, definitely worth posting. I’ll see how I get on with the slow charger first but the idea of a long lunch break fast charge does appeal! I will probably look for another battery as well in the future. If the smaller 400wh battery fits the same fitting then that could be a good...

    My spanking new Vitus E Sommet VRS 2020

    CRC finally admitted today that my bike had been lost and are going to send out another. I guess it’ll be all the sweeter! Does anyone else think it would be worth buying the faster charger? Mine is a sommet VR and will come with the slower charger

    My spanking new Vitus E Sommet VRS 2020

    That sounds promising, did you manage to get through to them on phone? If so do you have a number I could call them on as I cannot seem to get hold of one. Hope yours is sorted soon.

    My spanking new Vitus E Sommet VRS 2020

    I have emailed many times, first to be told it had been sent out on the 12th, then that it hadn't been sent out, then that it had been sent out on the 14th. In the end I rang express freight who said that they had the documents but hadn't received the bike. I told CRC this who have currently...
