Testing the new Shimano EP801 motor overrun – software 4.3.0
Not too long ago, we tested how the motor overrun worked on the Shimano EP801. Shimano never really had motor overrun. But that changed at some point. We found there was some, but only in the Boost mode. And it could be a bit difficult accessing the overrun. Shortly after, Shimano released the...- Knut Nes

SW-EN600-L controller with EP6 not working
I have a bike with Shimano EP6 motor with a SC-5003 all-in-one display and a separate power button unit on the frame. Tested a SW-EN600-L unit on my bike to be able to get bluetooth and use the E-Tube app, but I couldn't get it to work. SW-EN600-L won't turn on the bike with EP6 Shimano lists... -

Rossignol Mandate Shift Deore 11
Just came in today! First emtb and I'm really excited take it on it's maiden voyage. These are 35% off and came in at $4000CAD which is insane. It's even cheaper than used options locally. First quick trip up the block and down a set of stairs and the EP6 was shockingly quiet. Boost-mode felt...- bradmurf

2023 Marin Alpine Trail E1 – a different kind of test
We picked up the Marin Alpine Trail E1 towards the end of 2023. But thanks to both covid and snow, we barely got to ride it on bare trails. Consequently, most of the testing was done on snow.

We rode the new Shimano EP6 and EP8 (801) ebike motors

Testing the Shimano XT Di2 Auto Shift – automatic shifting
Automatic shifting, on an emtb, who asked for that? I never found an automatic transmission in a car that shifted the way I wanted. Why would this work on an emtb? Check out my video, or keep reading below. Well, riding no-hands I forgot about shifting. Coming through corners and into steep...- Knut Nes
